Ok. So a took an old Ford Truth About Trucks display and made a custom arcade cabinet top to house 4 player, 8 button arcade controllers for some good old arcade and retro gaming fun. The top is a custom made arcade top out of black melamine and cut/routed by hand. Still a work in progress all...

Ryzen 3600, B450 board for flexibility and cost, 16 gb of DDR4 3200, an NVME of at least 500gb for boot and load, RTX 2060 or RX 5600 XT. MATX has the most flexibility in mobo choices and plenty of quality value cases. 550 watt ATX PSU should do the trick. Plenty of upgrade path and cost...

Hmmmmmm.... MATX or ATX but I really like my ITX builds for space. Pain in the butt to build in but worth it in the end me thinks

Also, I have done quite a bit of research on this over the last few weeks but haven't really came up with a good direction to go. TBH, everything I seem to find says the 3900x in a SFF is doable, but don't expect any OC (which I'm not planning on anyhow) but expect some thermal throttle.

I have a Phanteks Evolv Shift Air case. Looking at doing some upgrades to create a beastly streaming rig out of it. I want to stress, this build is not a neccessity. Right now, just researching and running into questions that I haven't had to ask or look into before. I have build MANY custom PCs...

Agreed. Take it one piece at a time before jumping deep. Could be something small. Get your PSU tested or borrow someone elses and start there.

Good luck! You can check your mem speed in your BIOS or in system in Windows. Let us know if we can be of further assistance!

Hit up PC part picker. But, will RGB impress the friends or a rig that can perform? What does RGB matter if you don't have performance? A sweet case and tastefull RGB can go far! NZXT has some pretty nice stuff as well as almost all motherboard vendors with RGB ports right off the motherboard...

4K Minecraft..... :) I litterally just went from Intel builds to an AMD build (I actually chose to go with a 3600, but had my reasons.) 3700x or 3900x will give an Intel a run for it's money ALL DAY LONG for WAY less money. AMD has came a LONG way since Bulldozer and Piledriver back in the day...

Pull your mem kits and start with ONE stick in one slot. See if that assists boot reliability.

Sounds and looks like a GPU error. GPU may be going bad but also could be bad power draw from your PSU. What is your PSU? Have you tested it? Also, as Calvin7 said, your motherboard does not support DDR4 3000. I would suggest starting at the PSU as well. See if your local PC shop has a PSU you...

Did you get this resolved? Check it out. I just built a new PC on an Asus B450 gaming board. PC failed to boot and had post beeps. I had the EXACT same post beeps off my mobo speaker. By the way..... EXCELLENT thinking using the motherboard speaker. So many people skip that but it can be a life...

Chris_b86...... you ever solve your problem? I had this EXACT issue. The "best solution" got me to thinking. Your build was very similar to mine. I unhook ALL perfs and even the fans, and never got a boot. Swapped PSU and mem kit with a working build... no boot. Oddly enough, my issue was the...

Old thread but I saw it while having a similar issue. I SCRUBBED the internet and never found my answer, but happened on it on my own. So, anyone how reads this..... check your CPU cooler. I installed a EVO 212 on this mobo, had the same issues as poster. I pulled EVERYTHING but the CPU...

This is not really a question, but after searching DAYS and not being able to get a stable post on TWO separate systems, I found an odd quirk with ASUS mother boards. I decided to toss this rambling post up because these are atypical issues that took some real dumb a$% sleuthing to figure out...
