jonny1 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I just got this power supply and it started the pc but the monitor didn't work and the green light on the front of my case didn't work. Did I get the wrong power supply? I have Asus P5K-V motherboard, Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale 3.16GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor,CoRSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500). The only thing different from this power supply and the old one is the little 4 pin plug that I think it's the ATX 12v and on this CMPSU-750TX 750W there is no such plug. Did I get the wrong power supply or is there a different plug to use? Also when I first started the pc it started and then rebooted again and then stayed on. Is that normal?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 24, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 24, 2009 The TX750 has an 8-pin cable which splits in half to provide a 4-pin cable for systems that do not support the 8-pin. You will need to plug in either the 4-pin or the full 8-pin (depending on the board) for the system to operate properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, I went to newegg and read the specifications and stuff there and saw where it said about that 8-pin that splits to 4. I looked at the cables again and I did find it. I just installed the power supply now and it works great. I do have a question, when I first powered it on, it started then rebooted, and then it stayed on, is that normal or was it because I was just checking the power and had no hardware plugged in yet, like the monitor?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 24, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 24, 2009 Some boards will do a quick self test and things will appear to boot up for a few seconds, then power down and then complete a full boot. Sounds like everything is up and running, let us know if you have any more problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
