This model isn't listed in AsRock X570 Taichi's compatibility list.
On the ASRock site, you noticed a difference in the CPU model listed—some say it's an OEM version. That could be important. You also checked the CPU cooler, heat sink, and even disassembled parts like the CPU connector and GPU, but everything looked fine. The board itself was brand new, yet the CPU was second-hand.
Since the motherboard is brand new but the CPU is not, it's possible the chipset or BIOS settings are misconfigured. You might want to try a different BIOS version, or even consider flashing the BIOS yourself if you're comfortable with that. Also, double-check the RAM compatibility and ensure it matches the specifications. If you're unsure, reaching out to ASRock support with your build details could help.
Don't worry about buying a new Ryzen 2600 just yet—see if this works. Just keep testing different configurations until you find what fits. Let me know what you try next!
Hey there. I see you're dealing with a tricky setup. Let's go through what might be going on. You mentioned switching from an i7 7700k and an MSI Z270 M5 to the ASRock X570 Taichi and Ryzen 1200. The issue you're facing seems to be with the system not recognizing the motherboard properly. When you installed the CPU, the board displayed "b4" which might point to RAM problems, but your old system worked fine. You flashed the BIOS to version 2.0.1.8.0, which should have met the requirements for the Ryzen 3 1200, and it worked. Now the code shows "15" for two seconds before changing to a permanent "04". You tried using just one RAM stick and tested all channels, but it still didn't boot.

). I didn’t notice the “AF” at the end of the SKU. But if I buy a Ryzen 2600, it should work fine? I don’t think there’s a Ryzen 2600AF either.
