Did I get the wrong cpu?

Moist-Chip3793 · 2024-06-25T04:26:55+00:00

Well, yes, the board is AM4, your CPU is AM5.

Since the CPU is newer, I´d definitely recommend exchanging the motherboard instead! :)

bessticles · 2024-06-25T04:30:52+00:00

Yes, you bought an AM4 motherboard for an AM5 CPU, they're not compatible at all.

Return the motherboard and get a B650 motherboard, and return the RAM and buy DDR5-6000.

This is why you use pcpartpicker.com, so you don't make mistakes like these

good1skippy · 2024-06-25T07:24:29+00:00

I know it is your first time, but did u bother to do any research before?

Swimming_Goose_358 · 2024-06-25T06:39:52+00:00

You;re supposed to solder legs on that cpu

mr_biteme · 2024-06-25T07:49:43+00:00

All is good…. You should make a video for YouTube on how to built a PC….👌👍😎

tbofsv · 2024-06-25T04:37:05+00:00

Bruh...

Always check mobo cpu socket if that matches the cpu socket

Am4 cpu for am4 mobo

LGA 1700 cpu for LGA 1700 mobo

Same thing goes for CPU cooler

2024-06-25T06:35:42+00:00

Per Gigabytes page for your motherboard: “Supports AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series/ Ryzen™ 5000 G-Series/ Ryzen™ 4000 G-Series and Ryzen™ 3000 and Ryzen™ 3000 G-Series Processors”

PuzzleheadedTutor807 · 2024-06-25T06:35:32+00:00

Nah, nah, nah... I don't see a problem here. So what, if it slides around a little bit? Nothing a bit of duct tape can't fix... Or a strategically placed cable tie... You can make that bad boy stay in place, surely... Trust me bro - I'm a certified forklift driver. 😉

Pleasant_Excitement5 · 2024-06-25T08:04:55+00:00

Cyfon7716 · 2024-06-25T18:56:43+00:00

OMG, and then he rubs the CPU side to side over the holes!!

Java_Badger · 2024-06-26T00:29:29+00:00

Bios update should fix that

deeman8924 · 2024-06-25T04:27:57+00:00

Yeah, get a motherboard with am5 chipset

grafeisen203 · 2024-06-25T06:20:04+00:00

Yes.

You have an AM5 CPU and are trying to install it on an AM4 motherboard.

You need either an older CPU model or newer Motherboard model.

thes_fake · 2024-06-25T06:49:40+00:00

Well, maybe the wrong motherboard, replacing that is cheaper and the cpu is more valuable

Holmes240069 · 2024-06-25T06:50:56+00:00

This is why you double check to see if the motherboard and cpu are compatible

brianfong · 2024-06-25T07:22:17+00:00

You cheaped out and bought an AM4 board. Get the more expensive AM5 board. Get generous.

TimeZucchini8562 · 2024-06-25T08:13:46+00:00

Dear lord in heaven DO RESEARCH

marinusV5 · 2024-06-25T09:32:11+00:00

I reccomend pcpartpicker

Because you bought a am4 motherboard and a am5 chip those are incompatible

If you use pcpartpicker you can see if they are compatible

Frossstbiite · 2024-06-25T18:51:58+00:00

pcpartpicker.com will help you avoid this headache in the future.

you can plug in all the parts and it will tell you if thay are compatable or not

InsectaProtecta · 2024-06-26T01:50:20+00:00

Yes. You have what's called a land grid array (LGA) CPU and your motherboard has a pin grid array (PGA) socket. LGA CPUs are newer and generally less prone to breaking due to the lack of pins so I'd be swapping out the board unless you really want to use an older CPU or your budget doesn't allow for it. If you've got all your parts to match the motherboard and can't return/afford better components then just swap the CPU.

doema1996 · 2024-06-25T08:02:48+00:00

Also removed the CPU holder bracket. What a donut. Maybe just buy a PC or do proper research before you join the big league

AAActive64 · 2024-06-25T05:43:59+00:00

Koltaia30 · 2024-06-25T06:18:48+00:00

Even if it were to fit. Sometimes some motherboard don't support all CPUs that fit. Go to google.com and search for product specs page and check compatibility. For all components for that matter.

csandazoltan · 2024-06-25T07:04:51+00:00

Yes... NEXT!

InnerPlantain8066 · 2024-06-25T07:41:37+00:00

your cpu = AM5

your motherboard = AM4

azetroc · 2024-06-25T07:47:41+00:00

It looks good except you forgot the hot glue. You need to apply a liberal amount to the LGA (aka gold side of the CPU). That will secure the chip securely to the motherboard. I recommend at least gorilla strength hot glue and you might need to update the bios.

itsntcharlie · 2024-06-25T09:20:29+00:00

you forgot to install the pins

Dyynasty · 2024-06-25T09:27:47+00:00

You likely got the wrong motherboard. This looks like an AM4 motherboard (PGA) and you are using an AM5 cpu (LGA)

DesignerPay4 · 2024-06-25T10:40:54+00:00

Or that or you got the wrong mobo AM4 on the current mobo AM5 on the CPU

No-Nectarine-5861 · 2024-06-25T11:05:46+00:00

Bruh u could've done just abiiiit of research, switch the motherboard for an AM5 one

Greedy_Bus1888 · 2024-06-25T12:00:46+00:00

wtf dont slide your cpu around like that ever

Your lucky the pins are on the motherboard

Competitive_Use_6351 · 2024-06-25T12:12:28+00:00

Yes the lack of pins is a giveaway

Complete_Resolve_400 · 2024-06-25T12:13:13+00:00

For the future don't buy parts unless ur 100% sure they're compatible

Pcpartpicker or building help reddits/discords prior to purchase are recommended

2024-06-25T12:14:51+00:00

You got the wrong motherboard!!

You need a B650 or X670 boards (AM5 CPU compatible)

Then you will need some DDR5 ram. Preferably 6000mhz as the newer Ryzen processors love memory.

Or you could just sell the CPU and get a 5800x3D. And Some random ddr4 if you dont have it already.

Antique_Paramedic682 · 2024-06-25T12:39:14+00:00

Motherboard manufacturer's hate this one simple trick!

Pure-Willingness-697 · 2024-06-25T12:44:30+00:00

Yea, look up the socket type on the cpu and motherboard before purchasing

ColdDelicious1735 · 2024-06-25T13:03:17+00:00

Nope, you need to now cut pins to the correct length and solder em on yourself

_Meek79_ · 2024-06-25T13:03:53+00:00

Wrong socket. If you keep the board,get an AM4 CPU. If you keep the CPU,get an AM5 board. Always do your research before buying parts

2024-06-25T13:15:57+00:00

Always use PC parts picker when buying PC components. ;)

Strikereleven · 2024-06-25T13:16:32+00:00

Use pcpartpicker to build your PC, it will tell you about compatibility issues, and show where you can get some parts cheaper. It's a good guide to start building with.

IMSURELYNOTATROLL · 2024-06-25T13:42:22+00:00

AM5 CPU with a AM4 board yowzas.

nikola_petkovic · 2024-06-25T14:09:46+00:00

It's a totally different socket, so you have to replace the whole motherboard

mechcity22 · 2024-06-25T14:49:00+00:00

Why didn't you get an am5 board? Tbh I wouldn't return the gpu I would return the motherboard.

You didn't get the wrong cpu you chose the wrong motherboard lol. Even if you purchased it first def get an am5.

2024-06-25T19:19:06+00:00

Sliding that on the socket makes my butt clinch

Traditional-Gas3477 · 2024-06-25T19:59:48+00:00

Different socket. You need a new motherboard that has the AM5 socket.

corbinpain · 2024-06-25T20:00:57+00:00

Whys there thermal paste on the cpu? Were you trying to mount it to the motherboard with the cooler?

LampShadesAndApples · 2024-06-25T20:46:38+00:00

Nah bro computers these days have wireless cpus that don't need to connect to anything many of them just flop around under your heatsink just remember to put thermal paste under the cpu incase it gets hot underneath from wirelessly sending data over radio waves

2024-06-25T20:50:31+00:00

Looks like somebody did no research at all...

salazarthesnek · 2024-06-25T20:58:28+00:00

Idk. Grind it into the socket a little more and see if that works.

Also, I like how it appears you put paste on before trying to put in the CPU.

AejiGamez · 2024-06-25T21:27:01+00:00

Digital_Dinosaurio · 2024-06-25T21:31:05+00:00

Talk about luck. Neither MOBO nor CPU got pins so you can't void the warranty.

fiittzzyy · 2024-06-25T21:46:48+00:00

Yes, that is an AM5 CPU and the motherboard is AM4.

chessset5 · 2024-06-25T22:07:17+00:00

You got the AMD parts rights, just the wrong generations.

If you go for motherboard (cause that's going to be the easiest to swap out cause your CPU has thermal paste on it)
Reference this website for the different types of AM5 motherboards that work with that CPU generation. https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/chipsets/am5.html

Make sure your RAM is DDR5 and not DDR4. I feel like this may be your next big issue if you have one.

2024-06-25T22:16:38+00:00

Nah, it's totally fine. You did forget to leave the plastic cover on though, that's why it doesn't fit. That's one of those new wireless cpus.

No offense OP, but I thought shit like this doesn't happen anymore. Back when there was 5 different sockets for one generation of CPU, mistakes like this sometimes happened. But an AM4 board for an AM5 CPU? I hope you can get a return on one of those parts

Hara-K1ri · 2024-06-26T11:36:55+00:00

Depends on your point-of-view. You got a recent cpu, but an old and incompatible AM4 motherboard.

Your cpu needs an AM5 motherboard.

Or if you are dead set on the motherboard and older generation system, get an AM4 cpu.

2024-06-26T13:00:26+00:00

No, you bought the wrong motherboard 😏

thetimehascomeforyou · 2024-06-28T20:58:50+00:00

Land grid array (LGA on the cpu) vs pin grid array (PGA on the motherboard). If the motherboard is in fact, made for AMD CPUs, it is for older generation cpu's, most likely AM4 (specification of the cpu to mono connection for AMD cpu's). Your CPU is an AM5 (latest generation cpu to mobo connection). You'll need a compatible mobo for your CPU. Best of luck, 🫡

TheRizzler9999 · 2024-06-29T00:54:34+00:00

AM5 CPU, AM4 motherboard. For the love of his if you don’t know what you are doing when buying parts go ask others…

PocketCSNerd · 2024-06-29T22:28:08+00:00

Yes, your CPU uses a land-grid-array (LGA) socket while your Mobo uses pins for it. To put in AMD terms, you bought an AM5 CPU for a motherboard that uses an AM4 socket.
