Board fails to identify RX580 chip paired with i3-1200F processor
It appears the card isn't properly seated in the slot despite pressing it in. The issue seems to stem from a fitment problem rather than a driver or board defect. Once the operating system is running, drivers only influence the display after that. Based on your description, there might be something preventing the card from fully engaging with the slot. It’s not a malfunction of the board or card itself, but more about alignment. This is the exact situation I’m experiencing with the two identical cards, especially when they clash with certain boards.
It seems like the issue might involve both a graphics card and a motherboard problem. Although the 12100F works with the RX580, the seller claims it doesn’t fit B660 boards. The strange part is that even after installing drivers, the system didn’t shut down properly—it only triggered a restart prompt and then refused to start the GPU.
When you say it won't budge, it means the connection isn't forming properly. Cards don't constantly fail; if they do, it's likely a compatibility problem. Since it worked with other boards before, it probably fits or is compatible. You might try gently moving the card in the slot by rocking it, which could help it settle or clear any debris. Don’t worry about changing anything at this stage—just check if that makes a difference.
Check performance with different hardware components. If any work well alongside each other, replace the more expensive option if it functions properly otherwise. Remove any that cause issues with other setups or combinations. You might also exchange cards between two systems without problems.
Here are some alternative phrasings:
- The pin connector linking the PCB to the DisplayPort and HDMI ports isn't working properly.
- I saw that the die number (215-0876404) isn't an RX580 but a RX570, which seems suspicious, though I'm confident about getting a refund.
It's nice to see you found this, though it seems the seller was caught off guard. I'm also pleased they're collaborating; it looks like the card might have had its BIOS altered incorrectly, causing issues.
