Hello, Here is my config : - MB : ASRock B450 Steel Legend - CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 1600 AM4 (i guess this is the AF version, but can't find a specific model on the box, Amazon tells me YD1600BBAFBOX - RAM : Corsair Vengeance LPX 16Go (2x8Go) DDR4 3200MHz - only one in slot A2 - GC : PNY GeForce GTX 1650 Super 4 Go (first slot) - Mouse and Keyboard (USB) Il only plug the power on button from my case and the 24-pin on the motherboard for power. Then HDMI from the GC to a screen. When i put the power on : - LEDs are working - CPU fan is spining But i have no display. I can't reach the bios. Do you have any ideas £ Thanks ! |

Test both sticks of RAM one by one in each and every slot. Re-seat RAM again and again and test again. Does board have any sticker saying what is the BIOS version. AF is supported since P3.20 I guess. |

Hello, Thanks for the reply. I tested all the combinaison for RAM (both stick) with no luck. I did not find anything about the bios version. On "Rev 1.02" on the motherboard. Yeah, i see that for P3.20, which is not recommanded for my CPU according to the download page... I guess i will return the motherboard and buy another one :/ |

Along with the 24-pin power connector, you also need the 8-pin connector marked ATX12V1. Look at the motherboard layout in the user manual or qhick installation guide. Jake ------------- Asrock X370 Killer SLI/ac, Amd Ryzen 7 5700X, GSkill Flare X F4-2400C16D-32GFX, RaidMax Thunder V2 735W PS |

Ok, i feel so dumb. With the 8-pin connected, the motherboard boot and i have a Bios vP3.4. Everything seems to work fine ! I will mount everything in the case again. Maybe one last question : can i disable alle the fancy LEDs £ Thanks |

| @jdillipl Good catch! I have faced similar issues a number of times but most of the times it has always been either CPU not supported due to previous BIOS or not properly seated RAM. |

Manufacturers occasionally affix stickers to the boxes of later manufacturing runs that include the newer Zen 3 BIOS updates to indicate out-of-the-box compatibility (e.g., "Ryzen 5000 compatible"), but if there's no such indication on the box, there's no easy way to determine. ------------- I love to search and read reviews about https://topvinylcutters.com/best-sticker-printer/" rel="nofollow - sticker printer at topvinylcutters . |
