I picked up a 5600X last year for the same money. Set it to ECO mode with the +200MHz boost, and it pushes a 6600XT just fine. Runs cool and quiet in one of my NR200 with a 120mm AIO. No sacrifices like with the Cezanne 5500 at that price either.
I probably won't move on from AM4 until after Zen 5 is out. Or if AM5 gets a fun desktop APU to play with. Whichever comes first.
Recently decided to upgrade to a 5900X (price was good) and bought a new case (Corsair 5000D Airflow) with last years Christmas and BDay money. Been a nightmare. Currently bought a new PSU and motherboard hoping those were the cause of the boot failure. Currently can’t boot the system (w/R 5000 BIOS) with either of two graphics cards. My current one and a good known older GPU. Keep getting a VGA error LED lit up. Stuck my old 3900x in there and get no VGA error - but it still doesn’t boot.
Ive striped the board down to just the CPU and then added only one component at a time; cpu + RAM, cpu + SSD, CPU + GPU, everything in except the GPU. Everything checks out (but won’t boot without graphics). At this point I wish I just built a Zen4 system, at least I’d have an iGPU. 25 years of building computers and this is the first time I’ve spent more than 3 days on a build. Up to ~ day 10.
I thought a fried my MSI board - no blinky led lights at all. Suspected I shorted a cable on my PSU after a cable mod. The Aorus Master (X570S) should default to the secondary BIOS if the primary one fails - if I understand correctly. I’ll check the manual again.-Think something might have shorted or the BIOS had a corrupted write?
What does it do?Beta - AGESA ComboAm4v2PI 1.2.0.A. update at MSI
The reddit discussion is informative -What does it do?
Nothing in the manual or on the web about a jumper/switch. There maybe some options in the BIOS, but it’s otherwise automatic now. I tried using the GFX cards in each slots, still have the VGA error. Pffft.May check for a jumper on the board ajay. dual bioses are the best. saved many a people's ass back when they began coming on as features for premium boards about 15-16 years ago. I haven't had to use the feature myself but if you can get it on the 2nd bios you should be able to overwrite the bios1 with bios2. although I'm surprised there isn't a bios reset feature to write over corrupt bioses with shipping bios from a read only chip. I'm sure it exists and I'm happily unaware of it and likely costs as much as my mortgage.
RIP mobo. F in the chat boys. RMA if it is still covered.Nothing in the manual or on the web about a jumper/switch. There maybe some options in the BIOS, but it’s otherwise automatic now. I tried using the GFX cards in each slots, still have the VGA error. Pffft.
I absolutly couldnt get a 5900X to boot in my (x470) MB. I tried everything. 2700X was fine, 5800X3D has been solid, 5900X was just not going to happen. Now my 5900X was bought second hand but the guy I bought it from tested it before sending it and after sending it, and most tellingly, he was absolutly fine with a return for any reason so I think he was honest.Recently decided to upgrade to a 5900X (price was good) and bought a new case (Corsair 5000D Airflow) with last years Christmas and BDay money.

Well, still, a chance that the old GFX card is gone as well. Problem is, I’d need to buy a new card to check that out. Was thinking of waiting to 'Black Friday' to replace my 1070 - hoping prices would be a bit saner with sales/price cuts. But now, good cards are $100-$200 more than I would like to pay.RIP mobo.

Having built so many AM4 systems, I will give it up to 5 minutes to boot. Just in case the IMC and board don't play well together, and the memory training takes an eternity. After swapping all other parts besides board, if there's still no joy? I remove all power, pop out the CMOS battery, let it sit overnight, try again the next day. Still no go? He's dead Jim. Or may as well be, because I am done with it.I absolutly couldnt get a 5900X to boot in my (x470) MB. I tried everything. 2700X was fine, 5800X3D has been solid, 5900X was just not going to happen.

You only have the one card to test? If you are in the U.S. PM me a shipping address, and I'll send you a bench test GPU for the cost of shipping. You can keep it for future use too.Well, still, a chance that the old GFX card is gone as well. Problem is, I’d need to buy a new card to check that out.

I spent a few days on it just because I really wanted to make sure it wasnt going to work afterr the seller had said he'd tested it. I havent reset the CMOS so many times in years (took me back to old school overclocking TBH)Having built so many AM4 systems, I will give it up to 5 minutes to boot.

Thanks - reminds me I can pull the old gtx 460 out of my wife’s system.You only have the one card to test? If you are in the U.S. PM me a shipping address, and I'll send you a bench test GPU for the cost of shipping. You can keep it for future use too.
Which one?
nasty move there, your poor wife's legs will freeze in this cold.Thanks - reminds me I can pull the old gtx 460 out of my wife’s system.
Manual memory tuning should still work. Start with 3000 MT/s with relaxed timings of CL22 and then tighten the timings bit by bit.I haven't tried yet, but the system should run fine if I turn XMP off, but then my 3000MT memory will drop all the way to 2100MT and that's gonna take a bite out of frames.
