Question No golden triangle??

[basto]

I am installing my ryzen 7 2700x CPU and I opened my computer and see that my aorus K5 x370 motherboard does not have a Golden Triangle On Any Corner to signify which way my CPU should go. I looked online and didn't find anyone else having this problem and in the pictures I also saw that there is no Golden Triangle. Which way does it go? I assume it goes so that the branding of the CPU and of the mobo read from the same side but I want to be sure before I brick my PC.

Show us a large clear picture of this No Triangle thing.

The golden triangle wont be on your motherboard socket, thats on the CPU. If motherboards rev is 1.0 (bottom left corner), then you should check page 4 and 9 of this manual: https://download.gigabyte.com/FileList/Manual/mb_manualga-ax370-gaming-k5_e.pdf (why do no one try the manuals first?)

Don't force the CPU down!!!!!

Yeah its a RTFM-type situation.
Look in the manual. The ryzen cpus normally go with their brand name sideways, so that the letters read upright from the Ram-side of the mobo.
