Mystery solved.

Well, now you know why it doesn't work. What are you going to do?

I must've gotten some important ones. Some CPUs work even with a few missing pins.

I guess I'm going to buy another board? Can't give that back since I'm pretty sure that I messed it up. Welp, never happened before so it had to happen some day.

This probably wouldn't have happened to a Ryzen system :)

It looks like you aren't going to try and fix it.
Are you going to buy the same board again?

Dunno which one I get next. The problem is that I'm still not sure that it's actually the board's fault. I'm 100% that the pins weren't that bent when I removed the CPU the first time. So it might actually still be the CPU. No point in wondering now though. I'm gonna go and do some shopping.

It's good to be a rich  idiot with the fine motor skills of a rhinoceros.

Same board ordered from amazon. Should be here tomorrow evening

God bless Amazon Logistics. New board is already here.

Drum roll please.

Ok.

Good news: I have a POST, I have a BIOS, I have video output.
Bad news: It won't detect my SSD.

The quest continues.

Good news again: The SSD is of course still in the old board.
Bad news again: I should probably not be allowed to touch any PC hardware ever.

Congratulations!



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Steam / Live / NNID : jonxiquet    Add me if you want, but I'm a single player gamer.

vivster on 08 February 2018

Ok, after wrestling with the tiniest asshole screw I have ever met the SSD is now in too and it's recognized.

So now I'm gonna put everything together and see how that works.

Where not to put a fucking fan connector on a board.
