No video signal on H110

[BTC22]

Hey guys. I just set up my mining rig with the H110. I'm only using 6 cards currently. I have no signal on my monitor at all. Im only using my GPU as Im just trying to get everything up and running. I've tried different GPU's, and risers. Nothing. I have the GPU plugged into the long PCI slot. I tried just turning the MOBO on with one stick of RAM and the CPU. Nothing. All the hardware seems to be working. GPU turns on, CPU fan kicks on. USB ports I believe also work. Any suggestions?

Does it work with one GPU plugged in?  Are you using that GPU for the monitor or iGPU?

It does't work with one GPU, no. I tried plugging directly the GPU as well with no luck.

I don't have any H110's, so hopefully someone chimes in soon that does have experience with them.  Is this your first build with that board?

Yes it is.

Disconnect the GPU's from the motherboard and see if the onboard video is working. What RAM are you using?

Disconnect the PCI's? It's a ballistic DDR4. Two 4gb sticks. I tried only one as well.

Yes, leave all the PCI-E slots empty, connect the monitor to the DVI port and see if there is a video signal during POST. If you can get to the Bios. What is the model number or link to the RAM you bought.

It's actually Crucial.

Update the motherboard firmware to the latest? Just throwing it out there

Any idea how if I can't see?

Shit wait, I never installed the DVD it came with!

You bought 2400 MHz RAM. According to the specifications 2400 MHz RAM is only supported with KabyLake CPU's. What processor do you have?

Your Celeron CPU only supports 2133 MHz DDR4 RAM.

https://ark.intel.com/products/97452/Intel-Celeron-Processor-G3930-2M-Cache-2_90-GHz

Typically the faster memory speeds are only supported by the higher end processors, like the i3-i7. Either return the RAM or CPU. It's always best to go off of the motherboards qualified vendor parts list to make sure you are using a CPU and RAM tested to be compatible with the motherboard.

Damn. So is that the issue?

[Vann]

Yes, unfortunately you bought CPU/RAM that aren't compatible with each other. I would exchange the RAM for a 2133 MHz DDR4 that's listed on the QVL.

I might have an i3 7th laying around,  would that be compatible?

[BTC22]

I have an i3, BX80677I37100 somewhere. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

[BTC22]

Alright guys. It was the incompatibility between the CPU and RAM. I put in a new i3 7th gen I had and it booted right up. Its running now. Thanks all.

Damn.  Glad you got it figured out.  I didn't even know there was such a thing as a compatibility issue between cpu and ram.  15 years in the IT industry and I've not once ran into that issue.
