Hello all,

My first post here so big hello to you all, James from England here!



Ok so I started to build a new system with a mixture of new and old items, since the beginning I haven't been able to get the motherboard to boot up, this was while using the T-Force memory in the link provided, I then proceeded to buy some memory which is recommended by Asus and purchased the Vengeance LPX but by this time I had somehow managed to bend one of the damn cpu socket pins. Never have I done this in the 10 or so builds I've done.

Finding out that Asus would not take the mobo back with the bent pins I tried to bend them back with success until the final pin broke off (ahhh rage, why did i start this, haha)

I know there are 2 sets of ram there, pick either set or use them all it doesnt matter I can sell the others as I am not sure if I could mix them or not, just choose which would be better.

I tested with a Corsair HX620W psu and a Thermaltake 550w psu which came with the case.

Since the motherboard is now with a broken pin could you suggest something else which would be compatible with all of this, I would like to use my Asus Xonor Essence ST (PCI), I could pucrhase an adapter PCI-e to PCI I guess.



Help would be appreciated, thank you so much in advance.

Kind Regards,

James

Welcome to the forums! :)

You'll notice your link is censored as these boards are hosted by Overclockers UK so linking to competitors isn't allowed. Posting specs is best as you've seen.

There's no reason those parts wouldn't work - although I would avoid mixing RAM while troubleshooting.

I guess the first thing to do is troubleshoot fully. You could find the LGA1151v2 pinout and confirm what that pin does. It could be a ground pin or even not connected.

Outside of that I would test the board with a minimal setup. Just one stick of RAM, no cards or peripherals. No USB connections either. Test it outside of the case to prevent shorts. If you can get it to power up and display a BIOS screen, try adding one component at a time.
 
I am guessing more are damaged. I feel like giving up on the board even though it cost a pretty penny which I don't really have now.
Currently pimping up my P8P67 Pro with a proper clocked 2600k, adding 16 or 32GB ram not sure yet clocking GPU etc.

Parts are cheap and it performs pretty damn well still haha!


Will scout for a second hand mobo for the 9/10 gen in the mean time.
