   Hello
I try to build a new config with the following parts:

ASROCK H170M-ITX/DL
INTEL Core i3-6300T 3.30GHz 1151 BOX
KINGSTON 16GB FURY DDR4 2133MHz CL14 KIT HX421C14FB2K2/16
AKASA EULER M Case

I don't know the bios version, but if necessary i will check

The case is passive so i don't have a cpu/chasis fan.

This motherboard is recommended by the case manufacturer.

The problem is that no beeping sound even if i connect an external speaker. No video signal on dvi / hdmi. If i press the the power button, the power led seems working, the network card connect to the switch, and blinking normally, but no dhcp request, no communication on the cord.

I try to reset the cmos but nothing change.

	The i3 6300T is only supported from BIOS version 1.20 and up so if your board has an earlier version then that is likely the problem. I did not find the RAM you listed on the QVL but I did find "HX421C14FBK2/16" and figured you may have made a typo with the extra 2 FB2K2. Either way I don't think it is likely the RAM could be the cause unless it is improperly seated.

	The BIOS version in your board is printed on a sticker on the BIOS chip. That chip is next to the SATA ports, on the right side, and the chipset heatsink, on the left. I wonder what power supply you are using, and if you have the four pin +12V CPU power cable connected to the board's ATX12V1 connector. You must have a cable from the PSU connected to this connector, in addition to the 24 pin ATX cable from the power supply. You can see that connector in the large picture, looking down on the board: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H170M-ITXDL/

	Hello, I use a picoPSU with a 102 Watt Power Brick, and yes i connected the extra 4 pin cable to the necessary port. It is hard to check the bios sticker on the mobo, because the cases work in different way, but i will check. Thanks for the tip i will check my memory type Is it possible to make it boot without any fan?

	There may well be a safety feature that prevents the system from powering if no fans are connected but I have bench run my H170 Combo with nothing but a passive cooler (no fan) attached and it posted without issue. I would also imagine that if there was such a feature it would prevent the board from powering up at all rather than have fans spinning. I doubt that could be the issue. It is far more likely to be the BIOS version causing your problems.

	Hello, I check the bios sticker it says 1.30. Also check the memory type and i made no mistake when i type the memory number. It seems i make a mistake when buy the memory modules :) I have this kit: http://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX421C14FB2K2_16.pdf But it seems i need this kit http://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX421C14FBK2_16.pdf Nearly no difference. But as i check i need a bios update before i able to use these memory modules. Edited by TLoF - 26 Apr 2016 at 1:27am

	That is one of the few things I have always hated about Kingston RAM, their model numbers can often be way to close to each other and the 1 digit difference can signify a much larger physical difference. If you can borrow a module of RAM that works with your system you should have no problem updating your BIOS.

	Just for the update: The computer store says the motherboard working, with different cpu, and my new memory modules. After a bios update still not boot with the Core i3-6300T . Long story Short: i bought another H170M-dl, and it is working fine. The computer store bought back the previous motherboard (something wrong with it?). I lost 2 weeks and 2 euros on the change. Thanks for the help. Edited by TLoF - 23 May 2016 at 3:20am
