Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

YES, it worked fine, and I have the machine fully built up and working. Should have posted an update - sorry. Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops!

Thanks Grogs, all these tales are good ! A while ago for some fun I also built a PC from bits, a slightly different Gigabyte motherboard. It too initially had a different no-boot issue but reported a cpu error, fixed by stuffing about with display connectors. I lashed out on a liquid cooler as we have had hot summers - only to have had the annual rainfall in three months. Oh well. The supply shortage is getting to be a pain.
