Building new PC and embarrasingly I may have fried the board and CPU.
Was very careful except for one mistake. The mobo (Asus Tuf Gaming X570) has a 8 and 4 pin for CPU. Manual said I could connect 8 and optionally 4. Having two CPU leads with PSU (Corsair RM750x) I thought I'd connect both and misread the output labels on the PSU. It only has one 4+4 and so one lead would have been in a PCIe output.
Hit power and clear short and smoke from CPU power sockets. Tried again with only 8 pin correctly connected and same result. CPU fan twitches then stops.
I am assuming that using the PCIe output is what has done it (on the first startup it I cannot be sure whether it was connected to the 8 or 4 pin).
Am I likely to have fried both mobo and CPU? Any chance of damaging PSU?
Costly mistake if so as 3700X.
Many thanks in advance.
