Connected the P4 connector from the BQUIET SFX PSU - Now it boots properly... U can close this call... It's solved!

I guess I got confused by the fact the MB booted without the P4/P8 cable.
Physically the PCIE cable of the PSU is the same than the P8 cable. That's the second thing that confused me... The PSU went in shorting mode and did not start. The doc should have a note: DO NOT PLUG PCIE cable into that ATX slot ;-) |

You would be surprised how often we warn people about that here.  Here is a comparison shot, as you can see there are a lot of differences, unfortunately it is possible to force either into the wrong connector, the physical shape differences are not enough to prevent it

A user would need to lean on the connection/board damned hard to make that happen. Somewhere before he cracked the MB I would like to think "Common Sense' would take control of his exhaustive efforts and make them re-consider. |

You would think but cheaper PSUs power connectors are quite soft and are very easy to force in there. I have tried it myself on budget (known brand) PSUs and it's way easier to do than it should be. Obviously I didn't try to power them up but I saw a user with this confusion and figured it shouldn't even be possible right? Wrong...... Did it require more force? Yes, but more force than a higher end better quality component that has a snug fit? Not really.....
Very disturbing, especially with more and more people coming to the dark side and building their own systems. This issue needs to be addressed IMO. Some PCIe connectors have the last 2 blocks on the upper right (with the catch on top as shown in the pic) fused into one which should prevent this entirely, lets hope that catches on.
