My Ever-Changing Homelab

I consolidated my setup a bit. This is my local LLM hosting server. I took a gamble on a Chinese NVLink SXM2 mezzanine board from ebay, it was surprisingly plug and play for my dual 16GB v100s 😂. I'm also running a Tesla P40 that I repasted with liquid metal that sits at 24C idle 🥶.

Did I Buy a Burned Out CPU?

Hey all,

I took a gamble on a "for parts" 5800x3d that had a few bent pins. I currently have a 5600x with an ASUS TUF x570-Plus WiFi and thought this would be a nice upgrade.

The problem I'm seeing, is that the system won't post with the 5800 and hangs with the orange/yellow DRAM LED on the motherboard.

I thought to update the BIOS with the old CPU, but I already had a version that would support the new one. After that, I tried swapping RAM modules and only using one, then the other. Eventually I updated the BIOS to the most recent version and resetting with the jumper, but it still won't post.

Looking at the pin layout and considering the bent pins were all in one corner, I am wondering if the original owner tried to install this CPU rotated 90° and delivered some high power where it shouldn't've gone.

Any fun ideas, or did I just pay for a nice learning experience?
