Anyone with old Ryzen 1 or 2 series on hand that want to let go? Looking for a CPU to test my mobo after failed flashing of BIOS last night caused mobo to unable to boot. CPU light is lit on the board, so Asus tech says it's either the CPU or mobo that got fried

if it's within warranty & nothing but a bad flash (no physical damage) they would still honor the RMA, no?

if it's within warranty and u flash via the legal way then go distro and rma it or seek help. They will honor it or should i say have to honor it

unfortunately my board and CPU from Amazon, so RMA is gonna be a nightmare

not sure if Asus or AMD comes with international warranty

and because my system is running on hard tubes, I will need to fully drain my system and have it disassembled to take out the board and CPU for testing :p

Already tried that, no luck. Chatted with Asus tech support from US, they suspect either CPU or the board socket died. They asked me to bench test with a spare CPU first, if confirm board spoil, then can proceed to RMA.

So far AMD have international warranty, but will most probably be looking at international shipping since it wasn't bought from local distro. I'm out of luck with Asus, so that one confirm have to ship back to US to RMA if confirm board spoil.

Would gladly take up on that offer, but I will have to get ready to tear everything apart first and find my stock air cooler again.
I work at Tuas, stay at Bukit Batok (PC is here), PC parts and stock air cooler back at Hougang. In the midst of preparing to move house, my logistics is a nightmare, so this issue happens to me at the worst possible timing.
