Seems to be a ram error. Try knocking the speed down to 6000mhz. Probably also why you had problems with the 9800x3d if you were trying to run the ram at 6800.
Does this cpu socket look dodgy top right corner, thanks Does this cpu socket look dodgy top right, thanks Does this cpu socket look dodgy top right buddy, thanks.
My suspicion would be a memory training issue, reset motherboard and run in standard base JEDEC memory settings ( so the slow speed it fires up in on initial boot don’t use XMP or what ever the memory OC thing is called ) and see if you have stability. If you have stability there, then you need to find a setting where your board is happy, dominator 6800 is intel RAM and I guess it’s timings are causing you grief. Perhaps choose some lower speeds or copy settings from AMD EXPO dominators My Gskill RAM kit I bought in early Ryzen days has this issue as it only had Intel timing for the OC’d speed, I had to find timings that worked for my chip, those heady fun days when I would spend weeks playing with timing, boy I was so much fun If you have just bought it, return it for an EXPO kit and save yourself the hassle.
Thanks buddy But I'm looking at my socket top right buddy does that look like a Bent pin just fitted my new thermaltake grand vision aio and the socket clamps don't let you open the socket latch fully so you struggle a bit to get your cpu in, thanks
That looks very much like a bent pin, I'm afraid. With the clamps (and bear in mind I've never fitted a waterblock myself), shouldn't you install the CPU *then* install the clamps - so you're not trying to slide the CPU into a partially-closed socket?
I know bud, error on my part, stupid and trying to rush it any idea if it's fixable, bloody board cost me over 350 quid, do you know anyone who could fix it, thanks buddy
Yup it does look bent but that may be a red herring with respect to your issue, often the corner balls have a level of redundancy on something that size due to stress etc, though these AMD guys no doubt push the boundaries of packaging tech more so than I have too.
If I'm reading this right, and it's entirely possible I'm not 'cos I'm not really sure which way round that socket is, that bent pin *could* be MBA_DATA [24] - i.e. a data pin for memory channel B, which fits in with the C5 error being memory related.
Bloody nightmare matey, oh well it is what it is....I'll buy a pair of those magnifying glasses and see what I can do, thanks mate
Forgive a silly question, could you bypass the need for that pin by swapping the memory sticks to the other channels?
I have no idea. Maybe, if that pin literally just goes along a track to the memory stick and so you can avoid channel B altogether. Maybe not, if it's doing any kind of self-test or there's any kind of signal balancing between channels A and B. Could be worth a try, *but* putting the chip back in the socket without removing the AIO bracket could make things worse or push the bent pin in a direction that means it shorts out another pin...
Oh ill take the damn bracket off, I'm going to order some watchmaker loupes and have a go, thanks matey
