i read that a dead cpu, makes no beeps nor it gives signal on monitor :O can a cpu break if i used wrong cable to cpu power?

 

[Wraith]

CPU Power connectors are either a single 4pin 12v1@20A or the (4+4) 8pin 12v2@17A.

PCIe Power connectors
The 6 pin PCI-E cable has 3 12V lines (yellow) and 3 ground return lines
8 pin PCI-E cables have 3 12V lines and 5 ground return lines
6 pin being 75W and the 8 pin being 150W.

These cables should NEVER be mixed up.

You have possibly bummed your motherboard or your GPU, either way it's RMA time.

Put it in a working motherboard other than that there's no other way to check.

Wouldn't that risk damaging the working motherboard?
