A bent pin will not drop into the socket. Many of my older CPUs have off-kilter pins and as long as the socket accepts it the board will post. I've had dozens of AM3 boards and built countless machines for clients - never had an issue with a CPU and a slightly bent pin. The ZIF socket clamps onto each pin with a gripper made of conductive material - if it fits into the socket it will make contact. It's most likely a blown CPU at this point. The sabertooth probably hit it with too much juice.

did you try to reset your bios? when CPU changed that should be done first

is your PSU able to handle that CPU? are all power-connectors plugged in?

[diggiddi]

Ya no bent pins

[diggiddi]

Seriously??? I know you are trying to help but maybe check my rig first to see pc specs

and if the connection was the issue why would it boot up and run on the 8350 but not the 9590?

Bios been reset several times in the process

[staggeredsix]

If it's running on the 8350 and the 9590 isn't posting on either board then we know it's the 9590. Do you have another 9590?

[staggeredsix]

Dang thing wont let me edit. If you don't have another 9590 I can send you a known good CPU. Just pay for shipping! I've got a few 9590s kicking around.

Just out of curiosity, what cooling solution are you using with the 9590?

[benman2785]

fx8350 sips 145W from socket and fx9590 sips up to 265W from socket so it CAN be your powersupply... or mobo; or faulty cpu

[diggiddi]

No unfortunately No spare 9590 lying about I initiated RMA

[diggiddi]

Ok once again I have a 1600w EVGA gold power supply powering 2 290x lightning's and 2 R9 fury nitro's and how can the power supply be the issue?

The FX 8350 is working fine in the mobo too
