Aurora R10, motherboard issue?
Hey guys,
I need some advice. I have an Alienware aurora Ryzen 10.
When I power it on there is no output to my monitor, I can hear the fans spinning, I tried plugging my keyboard, and the indicator above the num lock flashes.
Does anyone know what this means? I suspect it could be the motherboard but wasn't 100% sure.
If so, I will be looking to get a retail motherboard.
What motherboard would you guys suggest? Ideally want to keep costs down and use the original r10 water cooling and psu if possible. I will also swap out the standard parts such as ram, ssd and gpu

My R10 was a gen 1 3000 series with an 8 pin EPS and only 6 out of 8 pins were wired up, just like in that picture the OP posted. Mine worked fine, although I never received an answer why some boards are wired 6 pin and some are wired 8 pin.
My theory is the lower TDP rated CPU's are wired 6 and the higher rates are wired 8 pin. If you look at the back of the PSU quick connect plugs, and if it is the same as mine, you will notice every single plug is 6 PIN, including the main 24 PIN plug. (It uses 4 x 6 PIN cables on the PSU end). No idea why they would design a PSU like that...
