Depends on the motherboard. The good ones have LEDs which provide troubleshooting. They have LEDs for correct CPU, GPU, and RAM function. Some also have multi-segment LEDs which provide error codes.Thinking of buying a 1600 or 1600x for my 1070
So say for examlple there was somthing wrong with the gpu drivers or anything like that. How would i be able to enter my pc without integrated gpu. How do i troubleshoot a ryzen cpu without igpu?

Ok thanks how long have u had the cpu and how long would the life span be. As im not buying it new im buying it used but with 2yr warrentt from cexHi King084,
I own a Ryzen 5 1600 AF,
Good CPU and good price for the performance,
but yes there is no IGPU.
When the GPU in the system is faulty you will have no display.
It also prompts a beep code for bad GPU. I think it is beeeeep beep beep beep (1 long 3 short).
It is handy to have a small cheap GPU laying around in case this happens for troubleshooting.
I hope this was helpful in some way.
Goodluck.
^THAT^..

I have had mine for little shy of 1 year now. Never had any sort of problems with it. Never needed to overclock ether.Ok thanks how long have u had the cpu and how long would the life span be. As im not buying it new im buying it used but with 2yr warrentt from cex
Lol its a real pain buying a ryzen cpu but ima get it any way.^THAT^
Just pop out the 'questionable' one, pop in the cheap spare and Windows will load up default drivers that work well enough for troubleshooting.
But if dealing with driver issues it's usually good enough to just boot into safe mode and do a DDU to clean them out and reinstall. You don't even need the cheap one for that as Windows installs basic VGA drivers for that. The cheap swapper is only needed if it's hardware related
Never been a pain with the CPU. Sometimes with early BIOS' that, frankly, sucked, but that's all ironed out now. And problems with GPU drivers that were unstable and wouldn't even uninstall completely. But the CPU was never a pain.Lol its a real pain buying a ryzen cpu but ima get it any way.
