My brand new Corsair RM1000 PSU doesn't work.

Hey.

I'm a very unhappy individual right now. I got my Corsair RM1000 PSU today and I switched out my old Corsair TX650W and conneted the RM1000 but it doesn't start. If I switch back to the TX650 everything works fine.

I have done the paper clip test and it works for fans and hard drives. But whenever I plug it in to the motherboard it doesn't even light the LED on the motherboard. But as mentioned previously as soon as I switch back to TX650W it works. What is going on here?

I was really hoping to use it over the weekend now that's not going to happen. (Sorry, a bit grumpy).

I have been waiting patiently for an response (still do) and while I was doing so I was testing around a bit.

So I mentioned that it worked with fans and HDD. I tried it on my old sockel 775 motherboard and it worked.
So I had a few things I knew at this point.

My old TX650 worked with everything, my new RM1000 worked with everything except my current motherboard. So there's clearly a compatibility issue going on here.

So if this thread can help anyone out there please by all means don't remove it.

Corsair put a compatibility list on your website because this is something the consumer should not have to deal with especially when the TX650 is several years older than RM series, you would expect it would work just as good or better. What a let down.

I have ordered a ASUS Maximus VI Hero which is Z87 and I should be getting it tomorrow or on Wednesday.

The biggest reason why I even bought it is because of the PSU so I'm really hoping it will work.

The Asus board works as well. I'm happy (I guess) that a got a new motherboard and CPU but can't help but feel kind of ripped off because of this PSU. I did not plan on any new PC related parts for my system but I had to.

Who knew the one motherboard I had would not work with a PSU from 2013.
Oh well. As long as you guys put this up on your website hopefully something good has come out of this.
