***Updated some specs***
Hi guys. It's been a while since I was back here.
I am building a couple machines with leftover parts and apparently I am on a learning curve with things that may have changed.
Build consists of:
* Old parts being repurposed. All were working prior to removal. *
Gigabyte p67a-d3-b3 socket 1155 motherboard.
I5 CPU, 2nd Gen.
LG standard optical DVD-RW SATA drive.
*New Parts *
OCZ 250 GB SSD
Seagate Hybrid 2 TB Sata drive
16 GB (4x4) GSkill Ripjaw DDR3-1600 Memory
Swapped in Corsair 650W CX650M PSU. ***removed - Thermaltake 650W Smart Power Performance PSU. ***
Thermaltake G41 Commander case.
All connected, press the power button, brief power light and it powers off and fades. After the power clears, it allows me to try again but same result.
Threw an older PSU tester on it to verify, no -5v on it.
I tried another new PSU I bought, a Corsair, and saw the same thing with that tester. I noticed on the box that there was no -5v listed and reading stuff around the internet I see it became optional and now is generally not even present.
This leads me to an educated guess that I can't use these PSUs on the older motherboards, maybe?
I've looked at all the cables and everything's the way it should be. I may try the other PSU to confirm but figured I could ask a quick question here and see if anyone could confirm my suspicions. I'd hate to waste time and effort on the build if the parts just won't work together. My alternative, since I have most of the other parts now, is simply get new mobo's and CPUs that work with newer PSUs.
Thanks in advance for any advice and my apologies if this is an already addressed topic. I looked but didn't see anything with this answer.
