UnOfficial Asus Rampage II Extreme Thread

Do you have a fan plugged into the CPU fan header? Is your 8-pin plugged in?
Is your rig in a case? Take it out and put it on the plastic shell that came with the mobo.
Do you have any cards other than your video? Including the sound? Take it all out except for one video card.
Do you have another PSU to try? Even a smaller one? This mobo is very picky with the PSU.

Right after I posted this I went to grab some dinner and thought the only thing I haven't tried was a different PSU (even though im typeing on a PC running on that PSU) so I picked up an Antec 550w from best buy (gatta love the BBY rental policy) and it instantly fired up and works AMAZINGLY man do i love that animated bios logo.... so looks like you nailed it with that 4th recommendation thanks for the support!

SO... does this mean something is wrong with my enermax galaxy? or does it just not like this PSU? should I RMA the PSU? is anyone else running the EGX1000EWL in their R2E system? or look for a new PSU? if so what should I get? Im looking to OC to at least 3.6-4.0 and im running 3x285GTX. I was looking at the Corsair 1000HX or is that not enough? what do you guys think?
