Not sure if anyone has come across my issue with the b450 tomahawk. But mine seems to be one of the worst of the lot. So I'm sending it back via Rma. I'm done with every 10mins it shut down and then no cpu detected. Cpu isn't faulty as managed stress testing fine 2hen working.

Budget is 200 max. Also maybe a new cooler for cpu
 
With the B450 Tomahawk - CPU error light, after I used the flashback.
Tried multiple times to get to the bios, successful only a few times, didn't boot to windows, then didn't even post at all.

So gave up, and ordered my X570.
For which I had a similar problem - DRAM error light.
The difference, I didn't flashback the X570 board.
I almost had enough, then I flashback it, and it started to work.
Now it is working for me.

Yeah same issue as me then. With what I've spent in hours makes up for the extra cost. What's your Temps like
 
Temps fine.
Just catching up with cloning, secure erase, and reformatting old drives.
Then downloading the updates for my games.

Haven't run any benchmarks yet, just a small game test, they seemed fine.

Is it th same size as the tomahawk. Cos that literally just fits
 
Aye same size.
Just my new gpu seems twice the size and weight of my old one.
Covers up 4 of the sata ports, but that is fine.
Nice and close to the front fans, to help trying to keep it cool :D
