Hey,
I fried my motherboard but, I don't understand what I did wrong. Can someone advise?
I plugged an ATX12V CPU 4-Pin connector into an 8 pin socket and when I switched the power on, the 8-pin socket had smoke coming out of it. After the smoke cleared I examined the motherboard but, did not see any visible burn marks.
It is possible that the motherboard is defective but, can someone look over the specifications for my PSU and see if it is compatible with the motherboard I have?
So, my two questions are:
Again, these are links to my motherboard and PSU:
My motherboard
And this is my PSU:
My PSU
Thank you,
--Alex

So, my two questions are:
- Is my motherboard compatible with my PSU?
- What do I need to check before connecting PSU to motherboard in order not to fry my next motherboard?
