Aurora R10, 2-1 Amber lights

Question

My Aurora R10 has stopped powering the monitors, keyboard, etc. Nothing internal is disconnected, all fans spin when the pc is powered and is clean. I have just finished installing a Corsair H60 but everything seems fine internally apart from the fact that the monitors and what not aren’t getting powered on.

Make sure all of your RAM modules are fully seated and locked in their slot . . . ditto for the graphics card. Consider clearing CMOS by disconnecting power, removing the CR2032 coin cell battery, holding in the power button for 30 seconds . . . then put her back together and try to boot.

All the wires look identical as before and there are no loose wires, anything in particular I should look for, something faulty maybe?

I haven’t yet tested after removing the CR2032 but I noticed these 2 seem to have something missing from the top. Not sure what they are but could this be the issue?&#xa0;

This wasn’t the issue, weird tho. Holding the power with the CMOS battery remove fixed it, thanks.

If your upgraded to liquid cooling from an air cooled CPU then you will need to get the VRM heatsinks. Ryzen VRM heatsinks If you took them off to install the AIO cooler, they need to go back on.

What CPU temps are you seeing with the new AIO cooler?

OK, that sounds like a successful mod . . . nice work!  Don't push it without the VRM heatsinks or you may be needing to replace your motherboard.
