support for the 400 series and earlier with their next generation of Ryzen CPUs.
It can't be cost effective having to send out boot kits to everyone who needs them.


You are correct. I shouldn't have posted my issue here since your issue is different than mine.

I love the fact that AMD decided to make their motherboards compatible with multi generations of CPUs. With that said AMD should have made it a standard that all motherboards had the ability to upgrade the bios without a CPU. I know this same issue can happen with Intel. I feel at this point we should be able to upgrade the bios on any motherboard without requiring a CPU. Even if that meant we had to replace the bios chip itself.

Anyway, my issue is a bad motherboard and that can happen to any manufacturer.

So UPDATE
After a lot of trouble, I got a setup that by all rights should be working. The setup is here:

Motherboard: ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate

CPU: RYZEN 5 2600

GPU: Sapphire Radeon Pulse RX 5500 XT

Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB)

PSU: Antec NeoECO 620W

Storage: Samsung 860 QVO 1TB Solid State Drive

Case: NZXT H510

I 've double and triple checked all cable placements and component seating. I went to power it on and got the red-light post code 'b0' or '60', plus a continuous cycle of the machine powering up, the LEDs starting a slow pulse while the screen stayed dark, a moment of the fans whirring, and then the machine powering off, only to power itself back on again. This continued indefinitely until I turned off the power myself.

This is the exact same problem I had when I tried to make it work with the r5 3600, and I thought the problem was the lack of BIOS update but the only difference now is that there was no error code when it did this for the 3600.

Including photos of the setup and code:

Just... what the hell is happening now?

I won't know for 100% sure until I receive a replacement X470 Taichi that I can test with my 3700x but it is probably safe to assume your issue is the same as mine. The motherboard is either defective or someone in the supply chain corrupted the bios trying to do an update. Either way an RMA is the only option if you are out of the return window with the retailer like I was.

This episode has reminded me why I always test all my electronics ASAP when they arrive. In this instance I wasn't able to do that because I am helping a friend build a system and I didn't have all the pieces necessary to test it within the return window. I promise that I will never to offer a friend help again unless they are willing to order everything necessary to test it within a certain time frame. I don't want to go through this fiasco again.

I certainly hope it's not that, but that will be close to the only option if my final attempt doesn't work tomorrow: I'm replacing the RAM sticks entirely, as someone helpfully pointed out they weren't QVL listed and selecting from that list might make it work.

At one point I assumed the motherboard was defective, and have thus ordered a new one and have it on the way, so at least if that's the case I'll have an alternative at the ready.
