Hi
this is an unknown bord to me so i tested it without cpu and without memory (just in case the VRM IS BAD) i put a post code card in PCI slot but when i take my screwdriver and use it to bridge the front panel POWER ON pins together nothing happens.The mobo reacts only when i short power good to ground pins on the atx connector once i get this response from the mobo the post card inserted in the pci slot reacts too and has all of its voltage raid leds on (+12 -12 +5 -5 +3.3 ).Does this mean it is safe to put a cpu and memory?or are there any other way of testing cpu vrm mosfet's if so what is it ( i do not want to put a good working cpu on an unknwon motherboard because i leanrt the hard way : fried 2 working athlons testins a friend's mobo
Thanks in advance
