Build failure with Ryzen!
Do you have images of the PSU, maybe showing burnt components on the motherboard or graphics card? I’m also curious about the term “technician”—could be a family member, neighbor, or someone who works with electronics and understands wiring. It’s funny how that word can mean different things depending on the situation, but it’s frustrating here since this is really stressful.
Hey there! No images included since we're a bit disappointed and I was feeling quite upset. However, I did inspect the GPU myself and there were no signs of burns, stains, ash, or any residue. The situation with the MOBO wasn't something I could verify. I also can't access the technician's credentials because he wasn't my direct contact—he was just a friend's. Still, I did receive an update today: the technician came from a highly reputable computer shop in our city. That only adds to my confusion.
The exact M.S.I. B450 motherboard isn't clear due to inconsistencies. The EPS connector has an 8-pin design, sometimes expanding to 4 pins. You're suggesting two separate 4-pin sections, which could lead to errors. The PSU cable connector can split into 4+4, but some cables only show one of those patterns, risking improper fitting. This might cause voltage to ground incorrectly, leading to immediate failure of connected components if the PSU lacks proper safeguards.
Consider gaming pro carbon 8pin and 4pin extra. It's unlikely a noname brand PSU without certification would include the correct extra 4-pin, even if high-wattage brands sometimes skip it. If an extra 4-pin was added, would it have been labeled EPS on the PSU or cable?
