Those are all great suggestions and I’ve done all of it as a good goon should. Thanks for putting that together.

The symptoms are the same on a replacement mobo with working psu, so time for a CPU upgrade I suppose.

Take care, everyone.

Can I get a sanity check?

I've got a 5600x on a b550 with a plat+ 1200W PSU. A couple of days ago, my pc abruptly shut down and now it won't reboot. Mobo LEDs are lit, but when I press power, I hear a click from the PSU and nothing else happens. No fan movement, nothing.

When I pulled the mobo, I noticed the CPU cooler push-pins had come detached from the mobo, but despite this, the CPU remained tightly stuck to the cooler due to thermal paste. I had to forcefully twist-pull to remove the cooler that had been stuck on the CPU.

PSU tests good on another system. I replaced the mobo and get the same "click" business upon powering up. No boot.

I assume I fried my 5600x, but want to check to see if there's something else I should check before I order a replacement. I wish there was a way to definitively tell if this CPU is hosed or not. I hate this poo poo. Thanks.

oh my loving god sometimes i hate computers so loving much

Over two months, I slowly replaced every goddamned part out, one at a time -- cpu / ram / mobo / psu -- and it wouldn't loving boot, only a single click. even with a new psu!!! wtf????

I unplugged the 8-pin power supply connection from the mobo (left only the 24-pin power connected) and it booted!

6-month-old 5600X abruptly shuts down and won't boot. Solution is to remove the 8-pin CPU power supply that had been connected up to that moment, because?? ;alkdjfaihjf;oavl;kjnfk jasdff ika;ifja;kldfasjkadfs gently caress me.

okay, gently caress, I was wrong. It's something to do with my 980ti. It has a 6+8 pin connection. If I have the 8-pin connected on the 980ti, the computer won't boot. Have I said I hated computers?

yep, video card is borked, lol. When the 8-pin is plugged into the card, I get one click from any psu/mobo/ram/cpu combo. Everything works fine with an old 670 put in.

Not upgrading to Windows 11 until it's more stable and has more interesting features is what's really won

Report from the field: I installed it and as far as I can tell, the only thing they did was change some fonts and gently caress up the task bar

I'm on AM4 and I just got my 5800X3D which will be the end of the line for me -- hoping for a good, long run with this lil' guy. Plan to pair it with a 4080/RDNA3 card and hide in a cave for a few years.

I'm going to get the 5800x3d to swap out my 3600, which I got at release to let my Xeon monstrosity die. I think a lot of people are in the same boat

Yep. The last hurrah for AM4. I plan on a long run with this one. Cheers!

I went from a 5600X to a 5800X3D because I wanted to ride this AM4 board and ddr4 as long as I can. I play map games at 4K and could tell an immediate difference, fwiw.

Hi everyone,

I'm living in an apartment with terrible power, and I'd like to reduce my wattage during heavy gaming. I've heard about a voltatge "offset" and I went poking around, but I don't know where these setting might be or what they're called. I've got an MSI B550 tomahawk with a 5800X3D.

I'm not looking to push the envelope, but would like to know what a safe-and-sane reduction might be... and where I might find it.

Thanks!
