Faulty cpu would be my last
In the list
Faulty mounting etc would be top
Followed by motherboard
If op was near me would have let
Them test it in my pc
Hopefully your replacement works
Though like I said cpu
Wouldn't be my first suspect

Guess you can update us Thursday

Thx numpty, yep I,m confused on this one.

Gonna have to start ruling out components.

Going with the cpU first as I have mounted many chips over the years and recognise a bad mount.

2 Nd will have to be the mobo, but 1 step at a time

Sorry for double quote, on my phone now.

Yes, very good advise and thx again.

I will add that I,m not new to pc building and have been doing it and water-cooling,for many many years.

I,ve hit this build with 2 coolers,2 different PSUs, numours clean boots on SSD and nvme with the same outcome _ 30 seconds in Windows and then total power down.

Surface contact on all mounts has been ok, within the degree of not being anything that would cause concern.

I,ve seen bad mounts and over apply and am happy that I have that covered ( no pun).

Thx again

No worries
Wont say no it can't be the cpu
Have learned never to say
It can't be that with pcs lol
Just cpu is less likely
Is as far as I would
Stick my neck out :D

Edit and yes trying to fault check
Too many things at once
Would just complicate things
Shame could not find
A forum member near you with
Suitable board willing to
Let you test in theirs

Are you getting another at the same price? Hopefully the second is good if they send you another open box/no box[/QUOT

Once bitten.....

New this time, whilst £ 70 is a good saving, I,m getting too old to mess around with troubleshooting.

should have gone new from start, but old habits die hard.

Not meaning to sound arrogant to towards money,but without a first time install with no down time the saving is wasted .

There are good savings to be made on open box/b,grade

I saw this deal and was tempted! Warehouse is good, but not all the time :-(
 
Makes me wonder if someone tampered with the IHS and mucked up the contact, I didn't know that was even a thing with Ryzen CPUs though. Does it look totally normal?

Ryzen's IHS is soldered, so any attempt at tampering or delidding would very likely bust all the dies.
 
Maybe its in Fahrenheit and not Celsius, in which case, its perfectly normal :D

Not necesarily. Der8auer has vid on you tube of delidding it and trying to replace the indium solder with liquid metal conductonaut and seeing how that goes. TLDR no better than the indium unless you take a heck of a lot of time and shaving off the lid rim and all sorts, just to end up with approx the same performance. But you can delid it without busting the chip, so long as you know what you're doing, have the right tools and a healthy amount of patience.

I might have missed it but where is the OP based?

Ops in Bristol
And yeah hard to improve
On the indium solder
 
Just to conclude, new chip turned up today.

Test fitted with stock cooler, 35 degrees @ 1.4something in bios.

must have been a faulty thermal sensor, which would also explain no temp drops between the stock wraith cooler and the 360 Aio.

Thanks for all your help
