    The sticks were old ones that I had used a few years ago before upgrading.

    Turns out it was a id10t error, and I hadn't fully seated the new sticks. Not sure why that problem persisted after a removed them but oh well. It's now working.

    64gigs of RAM running at a measly 2100mts. Now it's time to figure out how to get both running with xmp.

    Thanks @arete for all your help

    I was able to get it working with the original two ram sticks, but trying again for the four series to have the same issue.

    Oh well

    I actually just tried with a different stick in a2 and it's now stuck on VGA, which is progress, I guess.

    I'll have to pick up some new paste to try reseating the cpu next.

    [Solved] did I just destroy my cpu?

    I tried adding 2 new RAM sticks to my computer. It was powered off, but had the power cord in (not sure if that makes a difference). When I booted up , it didn't post, and showed the cpu debug led. I reset the CMOS, but it still shows the cpu debug led and doesn't post. Any advice is appreciated - MSI x570-a-pro - 5800x3d - 32gb ram @ 3600 xmp - New 32gb ram @ 2600 xmp - 6800xt I stuck a butter knife into the CMOS battery jumper for 10s with the power off and the cord disconnected, this had no effect. I'm worried because the debug LED is stuck on CPU, and not mem. I have tried removing all the ram, and only using 1 stick, etc but no difference Help me Tech support, your my only hope Edit: Turns out one of the RAM sticks wasn't seated properly. I now have 64 gigs of RAM running without XMP. I'm testing this now to see if it is better for me than 32 gigs of 3600 MTS. My use case is running and debugging SIEM software. So I feel like more fun is going to be better than faster RAM? 12% drop in Geekbench score, and no measurable improvement to the enterprise software. Will revert back to 32gb.

    I've sunk way too much money into my water cooling setup. It becomes a bit of an obsession.

    What games?

    Honestly unless your seeing performance issues, I'd just keep the cash and buy more games.

    But you ou could go to a 5800x3d on the same mb/ram. It'd be a drop in cores, but depending on the games it could be beneficial.

    Or upgrade cpu/ram/mb to the newest gen

    I'm at an age where I really don't want to deal with configuring Linux. My requirements are that it needs to work, it needs to be quick and easy to configure, and I need to be able to develop on it without any hassle.

    Ubuntu is great for this. I can spend my days programming, instead of fighting my system

    Apt is quite good for the debian based systems. I've never had a problem in the last decade installing anything on debian or Ubuntu
