Question Help me with repair

[ErexEm]

CPU:
RYZEN 5 3600X
MoBo:
(1)-Aorus ELITE x570
(2)-MSI GAME MAX x470(or something)
(what I currently have(3)) -Aorus ELITE B450

So, I have a pc build that served me well for 3 seasons. One evening I was finishing gaming and I turned off my PC, the computer was pretty hot, so I opened the glass door. The very next day, morning, I could not power it up, no POST signal. So the first thing, I swapped out the MoBo from (1)to(2), didn't help/ even more, it said that the CPU was faulty not only that, but I found out that my RAM dont work. Next thing, I tested the CPU with another MoBo(3), it turned out to be working. Then I swapped my MoBo(2) to (3) and still the same issue, It shows a red cpu light. and no POST. Tomorrow I'll change my RAM to working one's. Please help me, I'm really stuck. 🙁(((
P.S.
I'm using this forum for the first time, so idk who to tag lol

well, it broke, and it doesnt work still

Your explanation is not clear.

You swapped mobo(1) to mobo(2), then swapped mobo(2) to mobo(3). It worked on mobo(3) but then you decided to switch back to mobo(2)?

Everything else the same?

no, I currently have MoBo 3, but thats not important, the thing is, that the cpu works 100% MoBo too, RAM is not but ill change it tmrw, the thing is that the MoBo's 2 and 3 showed that the CPU is faulty, but it's not

 

[rgd1101]

2 or 3 have the bios version to run the 3600x?

 

[ErexEm]

How do I know it?
currently I have the 3

Yes, it does support

 

[rgd1101]

how did you found out it support it?

 

[ErexEm]

how did you found out it support it?

on partpicker, and it says that it support 3000 series

on partpicker, and it says that it support 3000 series

Support and Ready is not the same thing. The board can support it but to support it it needs the BIOS update. Unless there is a "Ryzen 3000 ready" sticker on the motherboard box you cannot be sure the BIOS version needed is already there.

 

[ErexEm]

how to update the BIOS then? If I can't set it to BIOS

 

[rgd1101]

take it to a shop, contact the motherboard manufacturer
or contact AMD for a loaner cpu

are you sure that this may be the case? and if so, should I update it to F60c?

 

[rgd1101]

don't know without know what the bios version is

Hello there!
Check your mobo box does it say'3000 series ready' else usually there is the BIOS version also show in the Mobo box.

yes, it does. not only that, but I had the same mobo (only on x570 chipset) everything worked

Did you tried clearing the bios?? Remove the cmos battery for 10 minutes and if that doesn't help remove your ram and install them individually on each slot.And as you have swapped your cpu so many time check whether any pins are bent.

pins are good, cpu works on another mobo, it heats up on this one, I didnt do the bios clearing cuz its a brand new mobo and ill try the ram

 

[ErexEm]

by the way, here's the cpu support list, it does support it since f40 bios ver. https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450-AORUS-ELITE-rev-10/support#support-cpu

 

[rgd1101]

so motherboard 2 & 3 does have the sticker said 3000 series supported?

 

[ErexEm]

2 or 3 have the bios version to run the 3600x?

I want to make clear, on my hands I have only the mobo 3, that is the aorus elite b450, and it does support r5 3600x as shown here https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450-AORUS-ELITE-rev-10/support#support-cpu and it have the 3000 ready sticker

 

[rgd1101]

and it no bend pin on the cpu. and have cpu red light on the motherboard.
RMA motherboard #3

 

[kurdtnz]

Just so we are 100% clear, the B450 board you have definitely has this sticker on the box.
