Today I encountered an issue with the red LED on my Asus B650 TUF gaming rig during a game session. I think it's related to the CPU. It occurs occasionally now—sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t. After replacing the CMOS battery, which helped before, nothing appears anymore. Yesterday I managed to boot the PC briefly. I used an R23 with 80-85°C temperatures and got normal performance. Still can't play a game properly. Windows 10 was updated recently (I was upgrading to Windows 11 but hadn’t restarted yet). I suspect the CPU might be the problem. I haven’t replaced the CPU yet; I’m worried it could be bent or damaged. I’ve also installed the latest Asus BIOS, which came with a flashback procedure on the motherboard. My system runs fine in BIOS, but now the red LED stays on during startup. It’s possible I misaligned the pins. I tried using a Noctua NHD-15 4070TI and Corsair R5000 AIO with stock fans, and it worked well. The package max draw was around 87°C, and voltages were stable. Core speeds reached up to 5323MHz, with boosts over 5GHz. However, the CPU draws only about 79W. I’m really frustrated because I built this PC carefully, but everything seems to be working until now. Maybe it’s time to try reseating the CPU or contacting support.
Here’s a clearer version:
I wondered if CMOS handled the process. It looks like the BIOS removal page was taken down, so I can’t access old BIOS files anymore. Your score of 17000 seems typical for the 7800X3D model, with some users reporting higher numbers.
Sure, it's okay. I've worked with Intel CPUs and reached around 1.45.
In the BIOS you can verify the current version to ensure it matches the intended setting.
Based on the information you have provided, it seems like you are experiencing issues with your CPU, specifically related to the red LED on your Asus B650 TUF Gaming motherboard. It is possible that the issue may be related to the CPU or the CPU socket. You have mentioned that you have not reseated the CPU yet, and this may be a good place to start. After reseating the CPU, try booting up your system again to see if the issue has been resolved. In addition, it is worth checking if there are any BIOS updates available for your motherboard that may address the issue you are experiencing.
