Hello everyone! Long time lurker but finally got round to starting my build.
Apologies for any poor formatting etc, posting on my phone while my PC is in bits!
Onto the problem.
Specs:
Asrock z390 phantom itx
9600k
gtx 1660 ti
delta dps 400w modular geeek modded psu
samsung nvme 970
1x16 corsair lpx ddr4
With this build, I cannot get any POST.
If I remove the gpu, I can boot to bios.
If I install my old Gtx 1050ti (which draws power from motherboard) it seems to work. I didn't plug in to the monitor, but it seems to post.
So with that in mind, I am now considering the pci-e power from the PSU as the problem.
The 8 pin cable I have for pci-e power seems to only have 7 pins. The gpu needs 8 pin power.
The psu also has two 6 pin rails. Is there a way I can combine any of the 6 pin sockets with the 8 pin to get the power the gpu needs?
Or is perhaps my 8 pin cable with 7 pins is the problem?
The system should draw less than 300w at an average load, so it should at least be able to post, right?
Thanks for your help. I hope I have explained everything well. Hopeful to be part of SFF soon!
