Issues with CPU pins and power supply connections
Posted 1 hour ago · Original Poster just copy and pasting my reply from another post i made , that i got no real answer to . main post was about the cpu and one pin breaking off i shit you not its the same cpu and im almost positive the same board XD to be honest i think mine is just a ground pin because its one near the edge. when i tested it , i tested it with the power supply i got from the person , and the desktop would start up , no display though , so no post , but after like 45 seconds it would shut it self down . is that something normal if i dont get a post ? cause ive never had this happen before. i thought it shutting down might be the power supply , and this mother board has an 8 pin cpu , and the only other working power supply i have with an 8 pin , is a graphic card 8 pin . does that make a difference? i thought it might because i tried it with another board i have that needed 8 pin cpu and it just flashed on , like leds came of for a brief moment and then nothing. THAT cpu i was told was dead and was just testing if the guy maybe just didnt know some things or other lol so before i plug things into where they shouldnt be and i end up shorting something out , if figured id ask lol
Check for power supply issues by testing the system. Plugging an 8-pin graphics card into an 8-pin CPU slot might cause problems. If multiple CPUs are affected, the power supply could be faulty. To prevent issues, ensure proper connections and consider a quality power supply.
Insert a different power supply unit and see if it functions; if it does, the original PSU is likely dead. Even at the boundary, it might be a critical pin that isn't just reserved or ground—verify the PSU.
Explore the instructions for a paperclip test here. A PSU provides only the power needed by the component it connects to. If the plug fits properly, it functions correctly. I’m not aware of any CPU pins that aren’t crucial. What do you mean by a “fucky thing”?
Never place a GPU with more than 6+2 pins into an 8-pin CPU header. It won't work and could damage the board.
It's accurate, though it doesn't quite fit (unless you apply extreme force obviously)
