Ugh, is this one of those AsRock things again...

You could ask AsRock. Someone else had BSOD issues with a riser card that needed pcie3.0.

"BIOS > Advanced > AMD PBS > PCIe x16 Bus Interface (Auto/Gen1/Gen2/Gen3/Gen4)"  Pasted from post.

If you happen to have MSI afterburner you could check if the GPU can boost where it should. And if you still have BOTH systems up and running check if the clocks match. One thing you also could do is install older GPU drivers and check does that help, something like 3-4 versions.

Hmmm, kinda weird but things you could try :

1) DDU nvidia drivers and reinstall (IF you haven't done that already)

2) Reset Nvidia Control panel just to be sure

3) Go to bios and change PCIE to PCIE-3.0 instead of 4.0

Personally that would be my todo list. After that it's hard to say.

I've sold my RX5700XT a little while ago in anticipation of these launches, I'm currently running on a old 1070Ti that's destined for my daughters PC once I've upgraded so I'm in no particular rush. Just don't wanna be stung with price hikes, but I'm hoping that if Big Navi is anywhere decent then it will keep the prices sensible.

Yea, since this generation will get a huge uplift in performance all crypto-miners will be pre-ordering asap. One thing you could do, is like @jaslion mentioned to buy a card from a place that has solid return policy.

Personally I will wait for AMD, since the leaks about 3070Ti and other "rumors". Like RX6X00 549$ with performance between 3070 and 3080. Let's hope AMD really delivers this time.

Price hike is a possibility, there are few choices you can make depending on your own situation.

1) IF you really really need a new graphics card and cannot wait, you can buy rtx30XX, can't go wrong there.

2) IF you can wait do so, since RX6000-series is gonna be released next month (28th), that might stir the pot.

Well I bought an athlon with Vega graphics, and I have 16 gigs of dominator platinum hooked up. 
 

 

 

cpu check

power check 

ram check

hdmi plugged in check

 

 

 

 

and nothing, nothing at all. It’s doa

sad times, atleast you got the problem solved.

I am usually not rude in life, but I do have that capability, and this just lit that fuse...

You Idiot... the MB has no GPU capability... how the heck are you gonna see anything on a screen?

Stop wasting everyone's time, this is a serious forum with genuine problems and awesome people trying to help out "REAL" issues...

I think you will get better help on Reddit...

Ok look, the MB has post error LEDs so those should light up. + X570 Gaming X has the Q+-flash function, which means you can update the bios without a CPU, RAM and GPU.

I mean if you ignore everything here sure you can say it's stupid. But y ou should first read the whole thing and read the manua.

No, you are. A mobo doesn't do anything without a CPU and RAM. Some with a built-in POST code display may show something, but yours isn't one.

 

Makes no sense... Even if the board doesn't work you'll still need the CPU for the replacement board you'll get once you RMA it.

Yes it does. Read up.

Are you dense?? Read the whole thing before you deal me stupid 

Now if nothing really happens and you have everything power in your PSU (switch to I) etc. Test the Q+-flash function, read the instruction from your manual, the Q+-flash should have a blinking light. If nothing happens then it might be dead. You can ofc wait and see if it magically needs a CPU and RAM to work.

TLDR: MB should get power without CPU RAM or GPU. Blink it's error leds or show error codes.

Nothing happens

Do you also have the additional CPU 8-pin connected?

I’m not stupid I know it needs ram and a cpu, but I’m not trying to use it as a pc or anything for that matter, I don’t have ram and a cpu for it. I just want to make sure its not doa.

So you have your PSU 24-pin connected + power button (or you shorted the pins) ? And nothing happens? No LED's?  And what motherboard do you have?

From experience with my 3900X ->

Your 3950X is just boosting, background applications are loading etc. like Steam. Your 3950X will load something and briefly use it's boost voltages -> 1.498V

This is what makes it jump in temp. Nothing out of normal.

It’s basically a samsung monitor apparently.  It’s going to be Samsung’s production.

On their site the specs say that all Eve Spectrum monitor's will use LG's 27" IPS panels, so doubt it's samsung's monitor.

but with either of those, the max you can get (if lucky) is 4.4GHz all core. most people manage to get max 4.3 with 1.45V.

Yes, that is true BUT the max safe 24/7 voltage for Zen 2 is 1.325V. (WITH NORMAL COOLING) Voltage + Temp + Zen 2 = Not feeling so good.

They came out July 2019, hasn't been quite so long

 

We're about a few months out from the next Nvidia GPU release, so not tantalizingly close or anything. Waiting will always yield better hardware, but you can always wait. I'd look for a 2070 on clearance or something in the meanwhile.

Original RTX 20XX AKA Turing was released: September 20, 2018 , "Super" lineup came in July 2019.

could a faulty Motherboard cause this?

Yes. If the PSU works fine then the problem is your motherboard.

tried clearing the CMOS, updated the BIOS too. PSU is rmx850 Corsair

 

Could it be because i have 2x 8 pin connectors connected to motherboard for CPU? overpowering it..?

ALSO, check if you accidentally put PCI-E 8-pin connectors instead of CPU 8-pin. They are different.

Remove one. OR both. If you can boot and your voltages are in control, then we know where the problem lies.

Like @Levent said and what PSU do you have? Those voltages are all over the place...

Ok.yes I meant the 3 days ago driver.new max fps option

From personal use and from Battle(non)sense video -> No difference.

Best to try for yourself and see if you notice a difference. 

I haven't installed the new driver yet but I'll check it out soon. The old NVI method was quite bad, it felt like playing with VSync enabled regarding the input lag. Simply unplayable for me. 

Yea, i heard the old one was terrible.

3 minutes ago, Levent said:

Maybe I should have said, google + common sense. Rivatuner has been using the same FPS cap method since they introduced it (you might be wondering how I know that, because I actually read changelogs of software I update or install). I dont have an Nvidia card to actually comment on how their vsync works so I just googled OP's title, first result was from 2017 which is not outdated imo. I suggest you to use keywords because there is nothing wrong google.

I think he means the new new max framerate option that came with the latest Nvidia driver. 3 days ago.

On reddit there are few people who say it is worse, some say it's better or can't see the difference. Best option is to wait for some real tests tho.

I'd choose the MSI one, since it's cheaper. BUT it is a VA-panel, it has better color accuracy etc. but loses in response time since the Viewsonic has an TN-panel. Also i prefer VA over TN but everyone has their own style.

What @DoctorNick said. Also if you haven't updated your drivers, now is a good time to do that.

Is there some way I could update the bios without the damn thing posting? I have no clue how to do that if it's not even posting.

Not really

If you have a 8th gen cpu on hand you could test that too. Or bring it to a store that offers BIOS updates i guess?

EDIT: And at the same time you could get a confirmation that the MB is fine.

Okay. Can you update your bios somehow? Fast google search ->

Worth a try?

Does it post if you take your gpu out? Have you tried that? Or atleast put the PCI-E 8-pin in? (just looking at the photos, the extra power for gpu is not connected, should it matter? No idea.)

EDIT: And yes i know you wont get anything to your display but atleast to see if it posts at all.

Now this is getting hard. PSU cables? Your 8-pin to your mb is 100% CPU 8-pin? Not PCI-E 8-pin? And if your PSU has any marking for CPU and PCI-E they are in correct ports?
