So I just made my first build, I'm all excited and giddy. I press the on button and it lights up like a carnival so I'm ecstatic. Little did I know that in the next few seconds I'd be severely disappointed. Long story short, no post.
Tried my hol af taking things apart and reassembling just to get the same result. Had me worried that my CPU was dead or something. Turns out the MSI X470 motherboard just isn't compatible with Ryzen 3rd gen out of the box. Apparently there's no way to update it without using a lower gen to boot it first either.
So now I really need some kind soul in more southern Cape Town to let me update it with his lower gen ryzen CPU ( can be done at your place, I'll bring my whole ass system if need be)
If anyone knows a different solution, let me know. I don't know if PC shops offer this service but if they do please point me out to one, thanks
TLDR: Desperately need someone in Cape Town to help update my x470 mobo with a lower gen ryzen for my ryzen 3600 to be compatible
