Start by powering off the device, disconnect it from the power source, and remove the CMOS battery for roughly 30 seconds. This clears any stored configurations. Then attempt to boot using the default optimized settings. If you have several memory modules, try booting with just one in Dimm 1. Also consider re-flashing the board’s firmware to ensure everything is up to date. Good luck!

Well I’m not surprised about it, if you didn’t done it before. Back to the main problem, it’s possible that cpu is dead, try clearing cmos on the mobo. It may help.

He mentioned in the initial message that he had already updated his bios to the latest version.

We usually respond right away if you complete everything yet still face issues—it often feels like the CPU is dead. I’d reach out to the seller, explain the situation, and request a replacement. If they have the same model, they can provide a new one.

I also own a dead 4790K, but I received it for free. Since it's an unlocked CPU, the likelihood of them being abused is greater.

The 4790k processor on Haswell Refresh is essentially the same as the standard 4790k, just built with newer technology. The BIOS supports it, so you can use it without issues.

They match exactly. The XX90 chips represented a refined design, with improved thermal paste between the die and the IHS.

Thanks for letting me know. Your lack of familiarity with motherboard CPU compatibility is becoming clear. I’ll reach out to the Ebay seller to try and secure a replacement. Fingers crossed it works out!

I sent back the chip and collected a Ryzen 5 3600, an x470 board, 16 GB RAM, plus a Noctua NH-D9L cooler from Memory Express for roughly $600 CAD. For future upgrades, I’ll need more processor choices if bottlenecks arise.
