Gigabyte-b450m-ds3h-motherboard with a bios F1 post with a Ryzen 5 2600

Don't be lazy, go to motherboard page and you have there list of CPUs supported and the minimum bios version required to work with that CPU:

As you can see, yes, they're supported with F1 or newer :

i have did this but am not getting no post also  my pus has a 4 pin connect  on it will it work with the 8 pin 

[mariushm]

The cpu doesn't use so much power to require a 8 pin EPS connector, it will work just fine with only the 4 pin connector.

The cpu doesn't have integrated graphics, so you need a video card to get it working - don't connect the monitor to the video ports on the motherboard.

 

Also, if you have vga monitor and you also bought a new video card, dvi-vga passive adapters won't work, modern video cards no longer produce the vga signal.

 

place motherboard on the cardboard  box it came with (without anything under it), install cpu, cooler, a stick of ram, insert a video card , connect the power supply connectors into mb. If needed connect pci-e 6/8 pin to video card.

Use a flathead screwdriver to power the motherboard - short the two pins in the front panel header for about a second.

If it works, you can move everything in the case. If not, start checking things.

 

does the motherboard have some standby leds that light up when a power supply is connected even if the pc is off?

When you push the power button, do some leds light up, do they change colors? If so , see manual and check if those colors are some code pointing out to what's wrong.

Maybe memory stick is not inserted completely, or motherboard wants to plug memory in a specific slot, for example.

Often system can't start because you didn't put the front panel correctly - testing the mb+cpu+ram+video outside the case helps with that.

 so i really need a gpu for it to boot up 
also am fro the Trinidad and Tobago and not easy getting a gpu here 

[mariushm]

any video card that plugs in a pci-e slot will work.

For sure you must have some craiglist / ebay type of sites specialized for your region/country or general area , or some local newspaper with ads, or some used computer stores, just go around and find a video card.

i can use ebay  but it will take time to get here also computers stores here  have very old gpu with vga connectors in them

The computer will not post without the 8pin EPS power supplied to the board. It doesn't matter how power hungry the chip is or isn't

 so i can use a 8 pin adapter for the borad

You'll need to, yes, since the board only has an 8-pin EPS slot

also one more thing am using a hdmi to vga adapter for my monitor will that work as well  or i nee to put it on my tv to get a post

Tough to say since VGA to HDMI adapters can be a nightmare at times. I would cut out the adapter if possible to make sure things get setup properly then add in the adapter after.

great i will try that to see it work 

[mariushm]

The motherboard will start with just half of the EPS connector in it. With the 2x2 or 4 pin CPU power.

So it will function with just 4 pin connector, as long as you also have a video card installed.

Thanks for the manual.

 

But, in fact, the PC turned on and it is working.

Majority of motherboards will function with just 4 pin connector.

 

Each pair of 12v + GND wires in the 4pin connector can carry 9A of current - you have 2 pairs in the 4pin CPU connector, so you can give 12v x 2 x 9 = 216w of power to the CPU.

The Ryzen 2600 consumes up to around 100-120 watts.

 

You can see in the picture below a complete system consumed 142w under Blender benchmark (where CPU is used to maximum and everything else idles, consuming very little power) - you can assume mb, ram, video card consumed less than 25w :

 

Even if you're getting close to 150w for the CPU alone, you still have a lot of margin up to 200w+ that the connector can safely handle.

 

If you overclock, that's another story. When overclocked to 4.2 Ghz, the CPU used up to around 160-180w and you're getting super close to the maximum power limit of the 4 pin connector (around 215w), so you should really use an 8 pin connector.

i will try it an get back to you guys on this 
its my frist time building a pc so i waited almost a year to build it 

[Natureninja]

Can you update the motherboard bois with the cpu and ram

[Natureninja]

so am get a gtx 710 as a lil use till
