Specs
MB - NZXT B650E
CPU - 7950x3d
GPU - RTX 4090
2 M.2 SSDs
1000W PSU
Cooler - NZXT Kraken Elite
Ram - Teamgroup T-Force Delta RGB 64GB (2 Sticks)


I'm at a lost as to what's causing my system not post. I've reseated the RAM multiple times and ensured they were clicked, I also did them one by one individually both in the same RAM spots in and in different RAM spots to see if it was the motherboard. I don't think it's the ram because it's both seated and the RGB comes up on the RAM. The only two I can potentially see it being is the CPU or the PSU. The PSU I haven't tested much, but I doubt it was defective since it came straight out of the box. As for the CPU, I flashed the bios to the newest , and one update back and nothing changed (I used the bios flashback tool on the MB). I'm starting to think it's the CPU itself but I do not have any spare AM5 CPUs lying around. If anyone knows something about the temperature the CPU gets when it boots up, mine gets to 23-25degrees Fahrenheit so I'm thinking there's an issue with the CPU itself. I've tried the CLR Cmos to no avail so now I'm on this forum trying to get some pointers.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Make and model of your PSU? As for your motherboard, might want to inspect the CPU's socket and see if there are any bent or broken pins on the said socket. Might want to also loosen the screws holding down the AIO's block onto the CPU.

Which slots are the rams populating on the motherboard?

Thank you.

I checked the pins and I don't believe they are bent but this is my first time building a PC so I don't know what it's supposed to look like. Here's what it looks like:

I'll loosen the AIO if its deemed that the pins aren't the issue.

As for the Ram, I just did some playing around with it, swapping it from A2 and B2 to A1 and B1. After doing that neither of the RGB pops up on the slots anymore.
