3700x Defective?

[Nyxathid]

Hello! 

 

I need some help, I bought my 3700x a week ago and ever since, it has been a nightmare.

 

First I couldn't get my x370 VI Hero board to post correctly but I thought it was a problem with the motherboard so I went ahead and purchased a X570 VIII Hero. Once I got the new board, it couldn't detect my m.2 drives, so I switched boards again, this time going for a Aorus Master X570, but now I cant get this board to post correctly as well giving me the 00 Q-code, the only way to get it working is to press the reset button on the mobo, once I do that I can finally go into Windows but waaaait theres more, my CPU temp is -55.0C, so my CPU Fans dont spin at all while the chip runs.

 

So either 
A) faulty motherboard (i've gone trough 2x X570 Hero VIII, 1x x370 Hero VI and a Aorus Master X570)

or

B) faulty CPU

 

Here are the specs btw:

 

Aorus Master X570

3700X @ stock

3200MHz CL14 - Samsung B-die

GTX 1080ti

RMi 750W PSU

My 3700x was idling around 50-60c games would take it up to ~80+c in a small itx case on an H80i v2. I’m pretty sure that is just the way Ryzen 3000 is. AMD is saying that this is a bug with monitoring programs, but I was using ryzen master to get my CPU temps. Hardware unboxed talked about it in one of their vids recently and said that as long as it isn’t crashing it should be fine. I’ve read that some people have gotten their CPUs to run cooler and at lower temps by messing with windows 10 power settings. I can’t validate this since I ended up swapping out the 3700x for a 9700k.

Yy the problem is that the mobo can't pick up the cpu temps, so it has no idea the cpu is running hot. So no matter the cpu temp, my cooler wont do anything because it wont pick up the cpu temp

my bad, read that as ~55c. Are you running the latest bios on your x570 mobo? Also try plugging into a different fan header and installing the chipset driver for your cpu.

Was your m.2 a sata drive? My 3900x would not detect my m.2 sata drive or any other sata drives. Nvme worked flawless. The drive was fine. It was a Mobo bios issue. 

 

 

Right now the bios's are a mess.
