Hello, A new build of mine has been doing pretty good this first month of operation. After its first 2 weeks, some RGB stopped working; all but one RGB device and that is all the RGB fans. They are all connected into one cable using Cooler Master's 1-5 ARGB Splitter (3 pin). It wasn't much of a priority since it is just RGB. However, I came to the thought that maybe the cable is a defect. I got it replaced and the same issue happened; not all lights are on. What is interesting is that they are all connected to one cable and the RGB fans (came with EK's AIO Elite that had a PWM fan hub) still work on the same cable. The RGB lights don't seem fried either. They all turn on for a split second every time I turn on the system and they randomly turn on for like 5 minutes at the most random times. What could be the issue? Is it all too much for one RGB header? If it is, unfortunately the motherboard only has one 3 pin header for RGB unless there is like some sort of converter. Much appreciated! Specs: CPU: Ryzen 9 5950x CPUc: EK AIO Elite 360mm GPU: RTX 3080 TI FE RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR4 3200MHz MOBO: ASUS TUF X570 WIFI Plus PSU: EVGA 850w GT

BIOS was at version 3603 for the ASUS TUF X570 Pro. It should have worked with the processor. We confirmed the CPU may have died as resetting CMOS did not work. However, the vendor was nice enough to offer a refund on the processor. He'll be getting a new processor soon.

Just saw your edit. I'm starting to think the CPU could have been damaged and he'd need to RMA the CPU. It should work out of the box as my ASUS Tuf motherboard did. We will get to it whenever we can though. Pretty convinced the BIOS could have been out of date.

Darn, should have asked for his BIOS version. Unfortunately, he doesn't have pictures at this time, but whenever he is available he'll be able to.

Hello, This post is not for me, but on behalf of my friend. Seems like we have been having some issues with AMD, huh? Anyways, going to detail what has been happening... Backstory: My friend had built a new system lately with a Gigabyte B550M DS3H Motherboard paired with a Ryzen 5600x. At first, it was fine, but the stock cooler wasn't cooling the Ryzen right. In fact, it was at 100C under load. Like the mad man he usually is, the temporary solution was to put a large fan on the side of the system in which it was logged 70C. After 1 day, the system shut itself off and would turn on, but there would be no signal and not all system fans were on. I had him reset CMOS in which it did not work. He tried removing the CPU cooler and the cooler was stuck to the CPU in which he did not know. He then yanked out the CPU out of its socket only to know it was stuck to the heatsink. While further inspecting, turn out part of the heatsink melted the paint off the motherboard and the motherboard backplate came off. The CPU looked fine and it had no bent pins, we assumed the CPU was safe, except the motherboard. Current issue: My friend just got a new ASUS TUF X570 Pro motherboard and now an EK AIO 120mm CPU Cooler. He installed it right away. However, the system would turn on, but not boot, except everything was on. The strange thing I noticed was that all the QLEDs would light up one at a time. It would color cycle to yellow(dram), red(cpu), and vga(white), but never green(boot). Did some research, but it seems to me no one else was experiencing this issue. First step I suggested to him was to reset CMOS. He has not yet placed the battery back in as he is unavailable for the time being(We are hours away). Other than resetting CMOS since that solution is currently ongoing, what could possibly be the problem in case the reset did not fix the issue? To note, the NVME he has still has Windows installed into it from the previous build. Not sure if that really affects it. His system specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x GPU: EVGA RTX 3060 XC RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4 3200MHz MOBO: ASUS TUF X570 PRO PSU: EVGA Supernova 650w 80 Plus CPUC: EK AIO 120mm

I managed to get it post again, but this is happening pretty frequently. I actually checked as I had it all logged since my previous issue was the system reboots randomly. Temps were fine, but someone pointed out the voltage on the 5950x was not okay (1.49v before reboot). I lowered the voltage. Afterwards, the system started to act funny as if some of the parts were not getting enough power, like the processor so it seems to me.

Update: It happened again. System turns on, GPU off, system fan off, no display, no post. Did the same troubleshooting and now it's not being resolved.

Update: PC is now working. I unplugged the GPU and turned on the system and everything came on. Plugged the GPU back in including the cables and everything turned on. This is weird to me. Could anyone explain?

Same issue.

Did it, same issue.

Does not boot to BIOS as there is no display. I do not have an extra AM4 CPU.

EK AIO 360mm Elite is my cooler. I don't have anyone else to test the CPU on.

Hello, Yesterday, my system was running just fine. Someone in this forum suspects there was something wrong with the CPU because the voltage while idle was 1.4v. The OS would randomly reboot after a while. When I was logging using HWinfo64, it logged 1.49 before reboot. I was informed to lower the voltage by -0.15 in which I did. Afterwards, it was running just fine. I shut down the system for the night. Today, it no longer boots. The CPU fans run at max speed while the system fan is turned off and GPU looks to be turned off as well. RAM seems to be on as well along with its RGB lights, though I am unsure if that really determines its life. Edit: Forgot to note this in, it doesn't display. Monitors show no signal. - I have reset CMOS twice; 5 minutes the first time and 30 minutes the second time. - Unplugged and re-plugged GPU. - Power cycled system - I was going to re-seat my CPU, but I lost my thermal compound somewhere. Any ideas? I appreciate it. Specs: CPU: Ryzen 9 5950x GPU: RTX 3080 TI FE RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR4 3200MHz MOBO: ASUS TUF X570 WIFI Plus PSU: EVGA 850w GT

Lowered voltage by -.15. Temps are also a bit lower than usual as well so it seems. Going to continue testing now.

Are there any changes that need to be done via BIOS? This is running on default BIOS settings. Nothing was changed other than me enabling SVM mode for virtual machines.
