I just put together my new build with x79 sabertooth an a 3930k. Soon as i plug it the stand by power light, lights up green i go to push the power button an all it does is get a brief second of power an thats it. Any ideas?

Only thing that I can think of is a faulty board. Might need to return it.
 
It does sound power related - 8 pin aux power ok? Tried it with just the CPU installed/connected? I remember similar things happening to me and it was usually something minor i had overlooked - the other day I was in a rush and tried putting a PCI-e 8 pin plug into the 8 pin aux power, wouldn't fit but had me fkd for about 10 mins....anyway gl, hope it works out:):)

Sure. This is what happened to me. My ASUS P9X79 booted up but it would not post. I posted on the ASUS P9 thread and Raja@ASUS suggested that I remove and reinstall the CPU. Sure enough the board did post, and I'm now using that very system for this H post.

It's worth a try. Otherwise, ASUS RMA is pretty good. At least in my one experience, they turn a board around in less than two weeks.

Good luck.
