8k3a and slk800U no go?

[El Hanka]

Well folks, I need your help.

I just bought a slk800u ( with the screws).
Carefully installed it following the instructions.
Put everything back in the case.
powered system, everything starts exept for the mainboard diagnostic leds, no code , no screen, no post.

I thought the mobo was dead but when i put my coolermaster back on, all was fine.

retried a number of times, but nothing.

Right now I won't be sacrificing any time anymore untill I know what is wrong.

Has anyone had this problem, and if yes, how to slove it?

Thx

How does the fan connect on the SLK?

Does it go to a molex conector or to the MoBo header. If it goes to a molex connector and the coolermaster goes to the MoBo hearder then your mobo may not run unless it has a RPM signal from the CPU fan.

To work around this problem try plugging the NB HSF into the one for the CPU

Hpoe this helps.

The fan is the same, connected to my rheobus.
the rpm sensor is connected to the mobo.
I think it' s got to do with the xplate on the back of the mobo.

Thanks anyway.
