You're making great progress with your build! It sounds like everything is connected and lighting up, but you're not seeing any output from the motherboard or GPU. That's definitely worth checking. For the Ryzen 5000 series, updating the BIOS can be a common reason for such issues. Have you tried applying the latest BIOS update for your system?
The board must be installed in BIOS version 2409 or higher for the system to display the 5600x. An older Ryzen processor would be necessary to complete the update.
Run a test using just one stick. Share photos showing each cable linked to the motherboard. If you install a second kit, verify it matches the same part number and version exactly. By the way, I don’t think any boards with unsupported BIOS exist for the Ryzen 5000 1.5 year after release—most must have been on the market for quite some time.
The motherboard is more than a year old, which means a BIOS update might be necessary. I purchased it from a friend around two years ago and haven’t used it since. Photos show both PCI-E cables connected to my graphics card, the CPU connects to the EATX 12V power supply, and RAM slots are tested in every position. The only active connection currently is the power button.

It requires a BIOS upgrade, correct. Regarding RAM, you possess just one stick or do you have a set of two?
