I am building a new CPU (all new components). Here are the components -
- EVGA GEFORCE RTX 2070 Super GPU
- EVGA Supernova 1000 G3 1000 W Gold power supply
- ROG Crosshair VII Hero (Wifi) gaming motherboard
- AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
- Sabrent Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2280 SSD
- Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 (2 X 16 GB | 32 GB, 3200 MHz)
- Phanteks Enthoo Pro Model PH-ES614P
I have connected all the components. First I connected the power supply and the motherboard. Then, I plugged in the GPU -> AMD Ryzen 7 2700 X -> DDR4s -> SSD. There are three power outputs from the power supply, one is the motherboard power supply, and two VGA power supplies (VGA 1 and VGA 2) connect to the GPU. The AMD fan is connected to the motherboard. That's all the connections.
While the Motherboard is powering up, the GPU is not powering up. Neither does it show any activation lights, nor does the HDMI throw any output when connected to a monitor. I am stuck and I am not sure what to do. I tried connecting the GPU to the different ports on the motherboard (3 of them) - but none of them gets it working. Did I miss something? Or is there something wrong with the GPU?
Looks to me like you forgot to plug in the 8 pin CPU power connector. It is shown in the top left of your motherboard image.
