RAMI think I'm ready to screw in the PSU. I got the Mobo, the GPU, the CPU, and the SATA that connects all the fans. Am I missing anything?
Wait RAM needs connected to the PSU???
Ah shit no, connects to the mobo. I just didnt see you list it so I thought you had missed it.Wait RAM needs connected to the PSU???
Make the side ones face the other way then?
Air will find it's way out of the case, they're not sealed tight.
Look at the back panel.
I plugged HDMi into card first, but then switched to on board- but nothing is happening. Can anyone help?
Did you hear any beeps? No beeps likely something simple like HDMI connection issue.I just turned it on--- everything is lighting up but-- there is no video!

I don't think there were any beeps. It's possible I need to flash the bios, even though my mobo is version 1.1. @Madmick might be able to shed some light on this because he mentioned that in our discourse. I don't know if these symptoms are indicative of a need for bios flash, but I know that everything is lighting up.Did you hear any beeps? No beeps likely something simple like HDMI connection issue.
On the mobo there's only one HDMI-- do you mean the various ones on the 3080?You likely plugged it into one of the secondary mini-HDMI ports.
4 lights at the bottom of the photo? Do the simple thing try running with just a single DDR DIMM remove the RTX 3080 an boot with just the hdmi plugged on board. See if you see anything on screen.I don't think there were any beeps.

One thing I noted is that this motherboard has four little LED's that light up whenever there's an issue: CPU, DRAM, VGA and BOOT
They all blink, VGA stays on for maybe two seconds and then goes off.

No those aren't lights, if they had lit up they would be on the right, a little bit above the GPU4 lights at the bottom of the photo? Do the simple thing try running with just a single DDR DIMM remove the RTX 3080 an boot with just the hdmi plugged on board. See if you see anything on screen.

No, not yet.Did you figure it out yet?
Well it doesn't look like the motherboard error LEDs are on so that's a good sign.No, not yet.
I'm hoping I didn't break anything
The optimistic side of me wants to believe that if something busted I wouldn't see all the lights, or that I'd get one of those error led's.
One thing I noticed is that there's no motherboard "speaker" plug in for my case. There's an HQ audio but I think that's for actual audio.
I'm trying to find out if a need for Bios flash would present these symptoms, it's very difficult to find anything specific enough to help me

Looks like they cycle, VGA stays on for a few seconds then goes away.What are these lights doing?
You're using a 5800x correct? If so, plug your HDMI cable into your video card. You won't get any video from the port on your motherboard.
