No, an AMD Ryzen CPU cannot function properly if its pins are bent.
No, an AMD Ryzen CPU cannot function properly if its pins are bent.
Hi, I've checked the Ryzen 5600x on two B550 motherboards that are reliable. The unusual part is the CPU has straight pins with no bends. On a B450 board (my personal PC), it booted to the American Megatrends screen but when I pressed the continue button (y), it froze and didn't start again even with the debug light on. The motherboards I've tried all work fine, and I even bought one for $20 after getting a refund from Amazon. The BIOS was updated to the latest version, yet nothing happened. My CPU in my PC also worked on both boards but kept the debug light on. I'm trying to figure this out and need some guidance.
I recently used this method with a 99% ISO alcohol solution and a toothbrush, but no results. Regarding the socket, I understand there are no issues or thermal paste problems—my previous seller reported the board booted normally.
I found something interesting—both the personal and the CPU in question are working. I'm writing this directly on the CPU itself. The issue is that despite both CPUs being confirmed as fully functional, they aren't compatible with the MSI motherboards. It's quite puzzling, and I'm still trying to understand why these specific motherboards don't support them.
I located the fix. It was a straightforward and easy-to-understand solution that I hadn't considered before. The correct answer was that the cable for the modular power supply wasn't fully connected, leaving the CPU without power.
