Ronaldd Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hi, I just build my new skylake gaming rig, however it does not seem to boot. I do hear a click sound from my PSU. - the selftest is green - the moment I plug in the 24-pin, it stops working (hearing a click) - only if a sata (6-pin) power is plugged-in (nothing else, no 24- of 8 pins) it works - if any 8 of 24 pin is connected it stops (after a click) instantly Any suggestions? I am running out of ideas. Is the PSU dead on arrival? Thx, Ronald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19DeltaSNAFU Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 The only way to be sure is to have a KWP (known working part) another power supply, if it boots then you have your answer. I've built one Z170 build and I can tell you that they are a handful until you get everything loaded and BIOS updated. Hardest build I've ever done. But, the computer shutdown with the AXi series of power supplies is, by now, a known problem I would believe and I'd be surprised if Corsair would let this go on for long without some kind of fix. Even if it was just a bypass of the digital controls all together. I'm subscribing to your post because I just purchased this morning an AX1200i and I have my fingers crossed that I don't have this problem. But I can tell ya now that the z170 boards are power finicky, maybe because of the DDR4 memory. But the problem you're having is prevalent on DDR3 boards also.
