Hi there,
This is regarding a problem I discovered, but I'm still sharing it since I'm unsure how it might lead to this issue. Sorry if it doesn't fit the right category. After installing my latest build, the motherboard failed to receive any power. My Aorus X570 Master has LEDs indicating power, yet nothing happens. I went through several checks: tested cables and sockets in another setup, confirmed internal connections were correct, removed CPU, RAM, GPU, etc., until I disconnected the USB2 headers—then power returned and all LEDs lit up. It seems the USB connection was the culprit. The internal headers appear to be compatible with multiple devices, but I'm curious about their maximum capacity. Specs are listed below. Thanks a lot!
Gr, J.
