Yeah sorry bud needed to reply in the FS thread not here. Just gave folks a heads up here first.
Yep that's the bit, it is physical damage so either by user error or got through QA and arrived damaged.Is this the area you think might have been user/manufacturing damage? I will check my board when I open the box.
Pretty confident it's that but there is always a chance this wasn't actually the cause.

It's not needed for the tomahawk. it's all ready to go.

Fairly sure my X870 tomahawk didn't have that damage. I checked the slot before I put the CPU in to make sure pins were all ok, and I always give the CPU a gentle wiggle when it's seated, to make sure it's in correctly. If miune had that sort of damge in the slot I think I would have noticed (I hope!!!)
If I come on here tomorrow saying my PC caught on fire, you will know I was mistaken.

Oh well, I did it and I'm no worse off for having taken the time. Winner.

I was actually worried as when this first came out i had the 00 code on my debug LEDs and it wasn't posting. I was panicking a bit... till I realised I hadn't actually plugged in the CPU power cables. then all was well.
00 is supposed to mean it's booted and showing the temp which doesn't help you solve what's wrong. I also had a 0D error at one point which is "reserved for future use"
Good old debug codes... useful as a chocolate D**do.

Worth doing anyway as it does state that the latest one adds support and extra speed (or something) for the 9800x3d.
That reminds me of my x370 crosshair hero on launch, running into many memory errors but forever 0D which was UNHELPFUL! Didn't help with bios updates they would sometimes mess with the codes so they started changing meaning.
At least a little better and easier than the dreaded speaker beeps.
Good you got it working, we all miss silly cables sometimes!
Associate
Quite, that was the impetus for me doing it really. Looking forward to actually playing something on the system now...though no clue as to when that'll be at this rate!
Associate
Most annoying thing was that I had tested it all out of the box 10 minutes earlier and had it all plugged in, and it posted. so i was doubly confused when it didn't when it was in the case. Also took 3 minutes to post each time at first (now takes about 20 seconds) so took ages to know if it was borked or just slow. AM5 is taking me a while to get used to. lol.

Took me 6 hours to actually build (I blame my kids) and it was 10 hours before I actually got to play a single game... then I went to bed 3 minutes later.
Made up for it today though. all with my son on my lap.
Associate
Mine was about five hours, then I remembered I had a whole family wash to put out. Think it was 00:30 when I got to bed? Up at five...what a day today has been, surprised I'm still awake. Will be worth it in the end!Took me 6 hours to actually build (I blame my kids) and it was 10 hours before I actually got to play a single game... then I went to bed 3 minutes later.

This space unfortunately attracts so many weirdos. You'd think if they were going to be scummy and lie and cheat, they'd at least do it in a field where the reward wouldn't be equivalent to a used coaster. Go scam a car, a house, or something, at least a free sandwich. Instead all they get are fake numbers, some pixels changing colours... geez.
