Hello
I think I just screwed up this motherboard dfi x48 ut t2r. I just got this from a friend and was in a rush to get it installed and get the system running. I saw that cpu required a 8pin power connector and I had a cable that was 2 4pin to 8pin. So without paying much attention I plugged the 2 4pins into the ODD/HDD section on the psu and went on doing the rest. Once I came to boot I gave it power I saw a little light on the motherboard and when I pressed the power on button nothing happened and that light didn't come on again. I tried a normal 4pin cpu connector and that didn't work either. That after actually processing what could be wrong I realized what I've done. I had a look at the wires on already attached 4pin into the ODD/HDD section for the HDDs and saw that power comes out of 3/4 pins and that means when that 8pin was connected into the cpu power was sent down the negative line...I feel like a idiot lol. Is the motherboard gone?
Thanks
