Hardware involved -
Motherboard - ROG Zenith Extreme X399
Motherboard - Threadripper 1920x
PSU - HX1200i / Super Flower 650
A couple of months ago I was building a new mini gaming PC with the super flower 650 when I remembered I have a ROG Zenith Extreme / 1920x sitting idle. I have them a quick test to make sure I got a post, which I did. Left the CPU installed and put into the mobo box with bubble wrap on top.
Fast forward to forlough time and I'm just trying to build out a consolidated NAS / VM server using the hardware (X399 mobo, 1920x, HX1200i), however the damn thing isn't posting.
I didn't even get the "start" button on the mobo to light up (but the RGB does come on) so I did the following -
-> Reseated the CPU (checking for any pin issues etc.)
-> Used the original PSU I used for the post a couple of months ago.
If I take out the cpu (basically raise it up from the mobo) the "start" button does light up but obviously I get the big red light (near the CPU not the diagnostics led's) saying the CPU is missing.
I assume the CPU isn't seating correctly or there is CPU socket issue - can anyone suggest any further troubleshooting tips?
