Hello everyone
Specs:
B450 tomahawk max and ryzen 3600
psu; 700w bequiet system power 9
rtx 2070
I have the following situation, I wanted to upgrade my cpu cooler:
I undid the screws of the stock wraith
I noticed some resistance so I slowly pulled the cooler loose, without using too much force, but once the cooler came off, the cpu was attached to it!
Probably the cooler paste (MX4) created a vacuum as I had to "slide" the cpu off the cooler as I couldn't even seperate them by just pulling on the cpu
So it was pulled from the socket while it was still in the locked position
I noticed one pin on the cpu was slightly bent, which I bent back, and inspected the pins on the cpu very thoroughly using a magnifying glass
there are no pins missing and you can't tell which pin was bent anymore
I unlocked the lever on the cpu socket of my mobo
I then put the cpu back in the socket, making sure it went in all the way, pulled it out again and inspected the pins once more
there where no irregularities
I then put the cpu back in the mobo, locked the socket and reinstalled the wraith stealth
I then powered on the system, all fans and lights came on but the cpu led on the mobo gives a steady red led, and no display
Also when i boot the system WITHOUT a cpu installed the red cpu led stays on
I tried breadboarding the system, flashing the bios with a usb stick to the most recent version, all to no avail
So now i'm stuck with the question;
Is my mobo or my cpu borked? Or both?
Thanks for reading
Any insights are greatly appriciated
