A6 9500 not posting

[MCFC_ANDY]

Got myself a cheap CPU so can sell my 1700 and upgrade, issue being I'm getting a red light CPU on b450 tomahawk, there's no bed pins,all seated correctly, but will not post.
I've checked connections,I can't see anything,cleared bios, but nothing.

Any ideas
Thx

Was it updated to the latest BIOS? Maybe support was removed?

Yep all updated

Update. not entirely sure it's compatible with my mobo, can't find it on any b450 CPU compatibility list??

Isn't an A6 fm2 socket

It does stae on d website it's am4

 

[MCFC_ANDY]

Can you not get a bios for it from their website

Haven't seen any tbh.

Looking at the CPU support list below

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B450-TOMAHAWK-MAX#support-cpu

The CPU is not listed on it so I doubt the board supports this processor and it not booting when installed would confirm this (unless I have the wrong motherboard)

I have a MSI AB320M AM4 motherboard running a 3600 and your processor is listed on it

yeah looks like a bust, time to ebay it and go another route,lol. cheers
