Ryzen 5 1600X does it work?

[Matt707]

I’ve recently bought ryzen 5 1600x and I can’t seem to get it to work. It’s an entirely new build everything I bought is brand new out the box and as far as I know it’s all compatible. 

Asus B350 MOBO

2 8GB DDR4 Viper memory

Gigabyte geforce GTX1060

 

Basically it powers on but nothing will come up on screen at all. I was told it might be the RAM that might be faulty but I’ve already went and returned the first ram and replaced it. Any help at all with what my problem might be would be appreciated.

You have to reboot on and off 4 times for a post. Because the motherboard hasnt seen or used that CPU Before so it syncs settings. Wait 5 seconds each time you turn it on and off 4 times.

Wat. Is that a Ryzen or ASUS B350 specific thing? Never heard of having to do that.

An asus thing. I do it everytime I build a ryzen system.

Double check your manual to make sure you're inserting your ram into the correct board slots. It seems to matter.

 

The first time I powered on my system after building it, it took several minutes to show anything on the screen. I've heard of some taking up to 10 minutes to POST the first time. If I were you, I'd visit the board's support site and download the most recent bios and have it ready. Update the bios as soon as you get in.

 

Keep in mind that once you set ram frequency, voltage, or timings, most Ryzen boards will cycle power off/on a few times while trying to 'train' or learn appropriate, working sub-timings. This is normal, but if it's unable to find working timings, it'll wipe all settings and load defaults. It's nothing to panic over.

What mobo specifically? I'm not seeing that memory on any B350 qvl.
