Posted July 8, 2021 Hello LTT community! I recently upgraded to a Ryzen 5900x and an ASUS ROG Strix X570-F Gaming motherboard. After 2 weeks of use my CPU died. I have a Seasonic Prime 650W 80+ Platinum which I've been using for the past 6 months with no problem at all. OC wise, I lowered the voltages with the curve optimizer and lowered the max temperature, from 90, to 80 Celsius. The only unusual thing I noticed almost from the begging was that the GPU driver was failing randomly. Is it possible the motherboard might be faulty and killed the CPU? Or the CPU had a problem from the begging and eventually died? Any opinion will be helpful! Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 8, 2021 Some times if a mess around too hard, my board will not make it passed the orange light. VGA. I could clear cmos and pull the battery and let it sit, only to come back to it later and it acts the same. I read some guy was flashing his bios when that happened and still bricked.. My fix? My trusty GTX 580. Drop that mofo in and hit go. It has happened four times now I think. My fault though.. pushing mems very hard. Maybe try booting with a non uefi gpu?

Posted July 8, 2021 It's very unlikely that you got bad CPU. How do you know that your CPU is to blame now? If you played with voltages trying to be an OC yeah you burnt the CPU. But motherboard by the default settings can't do that out of the box. And don't think it's PSU either since that is good PSU. Please do not take offence for my apparent confusion or rudeness,it's not intent me to be like that,it's just my BPD,be nice to me,and I'll return twice better,be rude and usually I get easly pissed of...I'll try to help anyone here,as long as it's something I dealt with,and even if you think I'm rude or not polite,forgive me, it's not me it's my BPD. Thanks for understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent the CPU back and they replaced it, they found an issue, now I'm afraid to put it in the motherboard. I only lowered the voltages just to get better temperatures and extend CPU's lifespan, cause I didn't like the 1.5V I was seeing... the later didn't happen though ...

I wrote my full problem a week ago... here is the original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 8, 2021 would be really nice if they could explain what issue, if they found one by sending it back. Else if you did mess with the CPU, that could be by messing with it.
