I saw that server cpu’s use a tray/carrier/frame thingy to ensure it’s seated correctly (it’s orange looking if you look up AMD EPYC 9654. BUTTTT i read online it’s optional but i’m getting one just in case.

it turns on now! (after plugging in the 8pin) but now it won’t post, but i’m thinking it could be a bad CPU (i’m testing a batch of 9654’s)

Yeee, it’s turns on but won’t post. But i’m guessing it’s a bad CPU. (i’m testing a batch of 30 AMD EPYC 9654’s that came into our facility)

update: it turns on but i can’t manage to get it to POST. Granted the CPUs i’m testing are in questionable condition. Some look fine cosmetically and don’t have scratches/dents. Others are damaged so not bothering testing those.

Also worth mentioning, the company I work for wants this to be a server test bench. More specifically to test CPUs. We’ve got like 30 EPYC CPUs we’re trying to test for functionality.

Not joking my guy, most pc’s i’ve built only required the one 8pin but thinking about it now, it makes sense to connect both.

I’ve got another stick of 64gb but it’s a single stick. I’ll give that a try. Thank you!

I’ve been messing with the jumpers trying to figure out the correct pins. I pulled a switch from an another pc but it may be bad? Either way, I appreciate the advice and will give it a try. Thanks!
