Ok so likelihood is you’ve ruled out a short… next step is you should try another PSU to eliminate that (a $15 test - you don’t need more than 300W to do a benchdesk test). Can you produce photos as I’ve requested now three times? I’d like to see how you have the CPU set on the socket and the general connections for power. As someone mentioned there’s a utility power connection that I’ve usually seen in proximity to the CPUs that’s 8 pins. Are you using that?
