Sorry to post - yet again - asking for a favor but I've drawn a blank asking around.
I bought a socket AM4 motherboard off eBay recently. It was pictured with an early Ryzen 1600 cpu but the seller didn't include it and refuses to. I guess he doesn't care about feedback. I can file a return but it was a good price, IF it works.
Issue is that it appears the seller never updated the BIOS. None of the CPUs I have will POST, so I can't upgrade the BIOS and it doesn't have the new cpu-less flashing technology.
Does anyone have an early socket AM4 cpu I could borrow for a couple of hours. Ideally in NE/SE PDX. It needs to be the original Summit Ridge microarch, so Zen1 (Ryzen 1200/1400/1600) or Athlon X4 970,
A6-9500, A8-9600. A10-9700E etc.
Please drop me a line off-list. I'll happily drive to pick up and return.
Thanks and Happy New Year
