So long story short I plan to update to a 5900x but my current pc is having issues so I ordered a 3000g to go with the new mobo and ram I already have to tide me over in the mean time.
I assumed it would be compatible being a fairly recent cpu with the same socket.
Having just built the PC it refuses to boot and stays on a red cpu light. Having checked the Asus support page it doesn't actually list the 3000g (but literally every cpu either side of it).
Have I just gone and bought an incompatible cpu or do I have a doa cpu/mobo? I've done all the usual trouble shooting (unplug everything and boot with minimum, reseat etc) and nothing has worked.
