Thought I would ask the community about this. I have 3 x K10s of different configurations, etc. and as to be expected not one HDD works. Consequently they are pretty much useless. So I started down the FreHD route and I'm trying to get that going on one of them, but in all 3 cases I found something really interesting and wanted to know if anyone has a solution.
If I remove the HDD (by way of the controller cable that comes from the mobo), but leave the FDD attached, and I try to turn it on, it won't even power up. I managed to get the rear fan to operate, but it seems that the PSU doesn't want to give power to the mobo if the HDD is not connected. Or at least it maybe that the power is going to the mobo but the K10 refuses to start at all without the HDD connected.
Have others that have opened up these bad boys found something similar? Is there any easy tweak that I need to do that I am overlooking?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
