Folks;
Just wanted to post this here, but had an Asus x370 Pro board go dead on me, I was counting on it for a new build. I bought a Ryzen 9 3900x, and updated the bios of the board before inserting the new CPU.
Installed everything, and would not post, cleared cmos, and pulled battery. Still no dice, but back in a r5 1600, and motherboard is dead, no lights, on sign of life. Put new CPU in another X370 board words great am typing on it now.
I am a little upset, as now I have 2 gen 1 cpu's that I can't use unless I buy another board. I am concerned that after the supply of b450 boards are used up what are my options. For the record I did buy a cheap 450 board just to have as it will replace my dead Asus board.
I am hoping for some good 550 boards, and put new r9 in it, and reuse my x370 board. Then wait for ddr5 for a better upgrade. Granted my boards are nearing 3 year mark, and have served me good, but it seems the old addage of using one cpu per board is going to be normal for me.
But my hope of using these CPU's in a file server, or doing BOINC work might be hampered as I don't want to chase the rabbit hole, or through good money after oldish parts. I do hope that my x370 board will last a good long while maybe another 2 years.
With the cost of new motherboards going up, I feel a little quezy even spending 80 dollars on a board that will take gen 1 cpu's. Granted I could of got something for 30, but have a use case for wifi, so purchased a board with that option.
