guys, I had 4 gpu's running in a rig I upgraded the psu so I could plug 6 gpu's and now that I try to turn on the system, it won't boot. The psu makes a clicking noise everytime I press the rig's power button. Did I unplugged something wrong from the previous psu? I have an external dvd/cd usb attached to the mobo, that and the power button turn on so could it still be the mobo or is it something else I'm not plugging in right? I re-plug every single connection, sata cables, pci-e, cpu, power and nothing, I even replug the old psu and that one is doing the same thing when I try to turn on the rig instead of making a beeping noise like new psu, it makes a buzzing short noise. Any help appreciated.
Is it an Enermax one?
Clicking noise at least on Enermax shows that there is a short somewhere on the system and psu protects it by not starting it up.
If thats the case do not try to boot without pcie cables on the cards. That way if there is a shot there the psu wont be able to detect it (cause they are connected via mobo and not to psu directly)
Well all cards are connected through pci-e risers. its a corsair ax1200i
and I just found out that its the gpu connections, maybe the risers, maybe the cables, maybe the slot? because when I just plug the mobo and cpu, the psu and mobo turns on fine.
I'll try connecting one card directly to the pci-e 16x slot in the mobo to see if its any problem with the riser or cables, if the problem persists, its going to be the slot port right? because I will try it with a new gpu.
I would guess that one of the cards is shorting somewhere. Best case would be to install them one by one like you would do on a normal pc. Always have them connected to the PSU via their 8pin/6pin. That way the PSU can detect if there is a short and it wont power up (what it does now).
If one card doesn't boot and replicates the issue then this card is shorted.
If none of the cards does that then its one of the risers.
