I placed my AMD CPU incorrectly.
I placed my AMD CPU incorrectly.
I'm new to building and I was supposed to align the golden triangle with the socket and CPU. But I accidentally installed the Ryzen 5 3600 in the wrong orientation. When trying to start up, the fan was running at full speed but then stopped. I felt worried and took everything off the motherboard. There were no bent pins, the socket looked good, and after rebuilding my PC everything worked perfectly during stress tests.
