After buying the motherboard i assembled it with an amd athlon IIx3 processor and 4gb 1333mhz ddr3 ram. i startup the system and there is no bios display or POST or beeping. the fan on the motherboard is spinning but looks to be spinning at half the speed it should. on the board there is an 8 pin atx connector but on my 500w psu there is only a 4 pin connector which i am using on it. the power on light at the front flashes instead of staying on and the other fans seem to be working
Quadcore or multiple processors need this type of Power inputs . ok just buy adapter like below picture "4 pin to 8 pin adapter
You can also make your own cable. for pinout connections see below picture Do it with your own risk
If you have any Old broken Power supply then you can make it yourself by cutting the 24 pin connector like below picture and modify for this you must have the knowledge of litle electronics, volt meater etc
