Just bought an AMD FX 8300 from a nice guy on eBay, I was pretty excited to throw that bad boy in my PC but it refuses to boot, I tried reseating everything, but no matter what, I can only boot up with my 6300.
My Current setup is;
AMD FX 6300
16Gb of 1600mhz noname ram
N68-GS4 FX R2.0
RX 570 8Gb
and a couple of Samsung 1TB SSD's
I'm aware of my computers 95w limitation, and everywhere online states that the 8300 is 95w, but this specific CPU seems to be the "Black Edition" could that mean it's possibly 125w? I'm not a big computer guy anymore, I built this PC back in 2017 with a GTX1050, instead, and it's never given me any trouble until now. I would like to maybe upgrade to a Ryzen based system, but that would mean about 220$ in a new Motherboard, ram, and a Ryzen 3200g, compared to the 60-ish dollars of the 8300.
The guy gave me a full refund and let me keep the CPU, so I was able to order another, and in my mind come out on top.
any help would be nice, thanks.
