I have had this PSU for a while now, and never got it to power up when I bought it.
But I bought one of the PSU testers and the screen says everything passes. I have tried on 2 mainboards:
EVGA X58 and MSI X470 Gaming Plus Max.
Both will not power up with the PSU, but I put it on the tester, and the fan spins up and all of the readings look normal:
-12v: 12.1
+12v: 12.1
5vsb: 5.1
PG: 260ms
+5v: 5.1
+12V1: 12.0
+3.3v: 3.3
Anyone have any ideas why it will not power up the system?

Hi ObsidianPhoenix,
I am sorry the PSU is not working with the motherboard. I do see here it passes with a PSU tester, so it is probably an installation issue with the board setup. You can try making sure the Jumpers are connected from the Motherboard to the PC case Power and Reset button, and they are installed according to the motherboard manual.
Regards,
Peter N

They are, on both mainboards. The thing is, I can use a Xclio Greatpower 850 with both mainboards just fine. It is only the EVGA PSU that will not let them power up.
They are both hooked up the exact same way, and both are partial modular boards. The Jumpers for the power switch and reset switch are hooked up the same way in both systems. I set both up with the EVGA PSU, and nothing will power up. Just no reaction. I remove the EVGA PSU and hook up the Xclio PSU the exact same way, and both systems will power up just fine.

Does the PSU tester (which one?) you used check the 24pin Motherboard and the 4+4pin CPU power connectors too?

Yes it has both the 24 pin and the 8 (4+4) pin connections.

And you're not using any cables, such as SATA power, from another PSU?..You're using only the cables that came with the 850 B2?

It is possible I have one from another PSU. I would have to compare all of the cables pretty closely. But I will check it out.

That could definitely do it.

Ok, I'm an idiot. I was trying to use one from another PSU... I could not find my extra cables that came with the original package, and I borrowed one from my other PSU since I had added a couple more SATA Drives and needed power.
Time to tear apart the house to find the cables...
Ugh...

Yep yep..Hopefully no SATA drives got smoked, you can feel lucky if they're OK..Cables are not interchangeable between PSUs the vast and overwhelming majority of the time.

All the drives are good. They all power up fine, so yeah.... Just going to be a chore finding the original box. I bet the extra cables I did not take out of the box when I first got it are still in there.
Thanks for helping me get pointed in the right direction!

Hey bob16314... Quick question... I have almost all that I need on the B2 PSU I have, aside from the SATA modular cable. Would this one work? Ok, so my link is not saving. Guess I do not have a high enough post count... Anyways, it is part number W001-00-000149 from the EVGA products/power supplies/cables selection. The 4x SATA modular cable... I checked the compatibility list and B2 is not listed, but B3 is. I checked around and saw that you "can", I just want to be sure before I order. I ransacked my house and garage, and I am fairly certain that they were in something that I did not know about, that got tossed in my garage purge last year...

You can put spaces in the URL (like I put below) and it should show up here for you..But yeah, that should work according to the Which EVGA Modular Cables are compatible with my PSU? FAQ that shows B2 and B3 cable sets are compatible. https:// www. evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=W001-00-000149 You could buy (or borrow) an El Cheapo multimeter like some of these for under 10 bones at Walmart or just about any auto parts store that will do the job and then re-pin the cable you have now..I use one like this..Lift the little tabs up slightly on the connector and pull the terminals out the back and rearrange them according to the pinout diagram, no biggie..Component-end connector pinout is Intel industry-standard..Pinouts are show as if you're looking into the connector end unless otherwise specified..A multimeter is always handy to have around.

Thanks for the info!
I ended up ordering the cables, as I will need the current extra for when I setup my son's PC with the PSU I am using now. I hope to get the EVGA one working with these new cables, that way I can setup the other tower.
