AB9 QuadGT - Error 8.3

[chadders]

Hi,

New build, have just a Corsair HX620 and QuadGT m/board, E6600 + standard heatsink/fan in place.

Tried a quick POST, getting 8.7 - have checked and reseated CPU, can't see anything around the 8pin 12v connector.

POST code 8.7
"Check CPU core voltage"
"Check 4 pin power plug or replace power supply"

The PSU has a 4 pin power plug, but nowhere on the m/board. I suspect this refers to the 8pin 12v connector then?

Anyone help?

yup, you need to connect the ATX12V1.
4-pin should be fine though but I think that I saw somewhere that Corsair would send you an 8-pin adapter foc.

The PSU has 3 connectors: 24pin, 8pin, 4pin

I have both 24pin & 8pin in the m/board. So I'm a bit unsure where I've gone wrong (if I have)!

edit: should have made my first post clearer about having 24-pin & 8-pin in already, I meant that the error referring to a 4-pin plug actually meant the 8pin, which I do have in.

HSF connected to the CPUFan1 header?

[chadders]

Check - the heat-sink-fan is connected to CPUFAN1.

I'm just a little nervous, spanked £900 and falling at the first hurdle - I may have to turn to alcohol...

(appreciating your help though!)

edit: the fan initially spins (briefly til 8.7 pops up)

OK f**k me... I'm a lucky boy...!

Decided to plug in rear case fan to SYSFAN1, same thing but it span a little, a series of clicking from the PSU.

OK, one last shot - bugger me there's blue lights flashing all over, got C1 (time to install memory!!).

I have no idea, I don't care I'm just grateful I can carry on!

might want to try another PSU just in case.
I was starting to wonder & clicking PSUs are rarely a good sign.

I'm wondering if it was maybe just not enough load to bump start it...?

edit: there's no more clicking whatsoever from the PSU.
