So I just built my first PC, using the Ryzen 3600x and ASUS Prime X570-P motherboard. However, I did not get the setup to POST after many tries and reading the manual over and over. I ended up returning the motherboard to the retailer since I arrived at the conclusion it must be dead. Now they have looked at it and it boots perfectly. The problem appeared to be that I only used a 24-pin PSU connector and not the 24-pin + 8-pin. From the manual, both me and my father who worked on the build agreed on us having the two options:
-
A) 4pin + 8pin
-
B) 24pin
I now understand most modern processors require the 8-pin, but still cannot understand how this can be so unclear in the manual? Or am I just a bad reader? I don't have any previous experience of building computers, so I definitely am a beginner in all this. Does anyone else agree on this being unclear in the manual or is this considered "common sense"?
