![]() ![]() Slowly but steadily swole something up around the VRM area until it popped and leaked a fluid all down the back of my board. That's how long it took for the 5900x to destroy the Asus B450-F Gaming II. Then made the swap to the above listed items last June/July. Had an R5 3600 in it with an RX480 8GB/2x8GB DDR4 3000 C16 for a year or so. I was on an Asus B450-F Gaming II prior to this. Which just means it has WiFi 6e and BT 5.2 as far as I can tell in comparison to the original. So many posts in here that really kept giving me that glimmer of hope every time I lost it.ĥ900X + 2x16GB DDR4 3600 C16 dual rank (G.Skill RipJaws V-Series, the only 2x16GB 3600 model of that RAM that is dual rank) + XFX 6700XT 12GB.Īll on a new Asus B550-F Gaming WiFi II (ver 2). Thanks to everyone in this thread, from top to bottom, who shared their experiences. The orange light just flashed and passed while I had my sticks in A2/B2 dual channel. I specifically bought 2x16GB DDR4 3600 C16 dual rank RAM to let my 5900x shine.Īfter 6 times or so of tightening and loosening screws, removing the heatsink 3-4 times, removing the CPU 3-4 times. Just try and enjoy having a new mobo to replace my dead one. So I'd remove the heatsink, reapply everything. Just wanted to let y'all and everyone in this thread/post know I read this through these threads 3 or 4 times throughout a 24 hour period. TL DR - If you're having problems with some DIMM slots causing your system not to POST in a new build, try loosening the screws holding down your CPU cooler (but not so much that it doesn't make contact). Then I moved the DIMM from B1 to A2 and.viola. Well, guess what? Removed the Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO, loosened the nuts that hold the bracket to the board, reseated the heat sink and didn't tighten the screws that hold the cooler to the bracket as much. Sounded insane to me but at this point I'd try anything because the next link in the chain was a faulty CPU. I came across a post from 2015 suggesting that the problem might be that the CPU cooler being bolted too tightly can cause issues like this. Gotta be the DIMMs, right? So I ordered new DIMMs on Prime Now and during the two hour wait I re-googled for the hundredth time about dual channel not working on a Z270, blah blah blah. Guess what? DIMMs only worked in slots B1 and B2. Recently I became annoyed at the lack of dual channel so I decided it must be a board problem. I was, however, able to get it to boot with DIMMs in slots B1 and B2. I built a Z270 system a while back and found that it would not boot (or POST at all - no beeps, nothing) with any DIMMs installed in slots A1 or A2. I just wish I'd seen a post like this when I originally had this issue. I apologize if this is a duplicate, mods feel free to delete.
