Posted June 17, 2020 Im helping my friend who is new to pc building building his new system* over discord and he has assembled everything what I could see to be correct but when he turns on the psu the motherboard doesn't light up like mine did, we have reseeded both the CPU power and the 24-pin with no luck any ideas? Thinking it has to be a PSU or a Motherboard problem. *Build: Ryzen 5 3600x (Stock cooling) Asus Rog Strix B450-f Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 2X8GB 3200 mHz Phanteks Eclipse P400A Intel 660p 512GB M.2 SSD Corsair TX650M Gigabyte OC RTX 2060 Super Seagate Barracuda 2 TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 17, 2020 The rog strix b450-f needs a bios update for ryzen 3000 which you cannot do without an older cpu. Basically return the motherboard and get a B550 tomahawk or pro4 board.

No it doesn't I have the same one and I didn't need it and it's advertized as a 3rd gen Ryzen reday motherboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That board has been around for a bit and there are older versions of the same board that do not have a bios for ryzen 3000. So unless it's specifically stated on the box that it is update then you know it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ye as far as I could see everything was plugged in and seeded correctly and the standoffs were preinstalled so that's not it either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and it's far easier for testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the 24 pin power and then there is also the 8 pin power to the MB.. make sure that is plugged in too. Also,make sure that the CPU cooler is not put on too tight...
