Hi All, currently at the end (I hope) of my first build and i'm stumped connecting the PSU to the power supply.

Motherboard - AORUS ELITE INTEL Z390 (SOCKET 1151)
PSU - Antec EarthWatts Gold Pro 650W 80 Plus Gold Modular

I've connected the 24 pin main connector and i'm left with two inputs on the top left ATX_12V_2X2 and ATX_12V_2X4 and a cable from the PSU with two sets of 4 one marked B? and two sets of 6+2 pins.

Can anyone help explain what I am supposed to be connecting here?

Please go easy on me! :D

Thanks in advance

plug this into



doesn't have a second EPS 12v cable, but you don't really need it for day-to-day usage.

Thanks, after reading it again it made sense and on the first boot everything snapped into life much to my surprise. However my joy was short lived as I'm getting no display from the GPU or motherboard :(
 
Well this is fun :D I have display but it's kindly telling me i've installed the ram wrong again! Third time lucky!

Also, sorry but you've lost me with regards to the PCI power cables. Am I to disconnect the independent cable that was in the box and just us the one hard wired to the PSU?
 
Just to confirm this is the MSI Geforce 2080 I went for so there is a 6 and 8 pin connectors. Which cable for each or does it not matter?

Trying to work out how to get pictures on here.

Think I'm loosing the plot with the ram...I was originally in Slots B2 and A2 no display. Changed to A1 and A2 and now get a display but bios is telling me to change back to B2 and A2 for best performance?
 
Makes perfect sense now thanks.

Less laughing though please guys, I'm going to have to move this damn fan on the cooler once again to move the ram!! :mad: :D
 
Boots fine with the other stick in A2 so does not appear ram related. I was kind of hoping it was to be honest as the idea of replacing one stick of ram is much more appealing than the mobo.

I cant see any warping / bowing on the motherboard. I used all standoffs, I believe there were 8 screws in total.

Temps are mid 20s.

Will try A1/B1 and report back.
 
Started running into some issues today. Twice now the PC has crashed with the blue screen stating your PC has run into a problem and needs to restart with the errors Memory Management and the rather worrying Critical Process Died.

On both occasions it hung at 100%.

Any ideas?
 
I'm using NZXT CAM at the moment but will check those out thanks.

If I've understood memtest correctly I need to have 8 instances open for each core and split the available ram between them?
