All sorted now got it to switch on

.. The reset lead had come lose :s... But I'm a little unsure on 1 more thing. On my mobo where you have 4pin power conntector this has a 8pin but there is a plastic cover over it covering it up, should I leave my 4pin connection in or put in the 8pin power connection?.
Thanks

I tend to use the 8 pin, remove the plastic cover and pop the 8 in when you have a chance

If your PSU only has a 4 pin 12v then use that (obviously lol)
But if your PSU has an 8 pin, pull the cover off and use the 8 pin

Yeah I have the 8pin as well so I will pop that in when I can.
What's the best cpu temp software?, I'm Using hwmonitor but it's giving different readings in each core from 18'c to 35'c.
Thanks

Core Temp is very accurate.
Mine has a variance in temps across the cores although at most around 7-10 degrees.
