I recently purchased a FX-8350 Vishera and put it in an AM3 socket board.
I did run a search on newegg to check compatibility. Copy pasting "890FXA-UD5" into newegg brings up the 990FXA-UD5 product page, which I didn't notice. I quickly verified that my board was indeed compatible with AM3+ sockets (such as the FX-8350).
When I put the CPU into the board and attempted to boot, it did not post, and shut down after a few minutes.
Question is: did I damage the CPU or board? As far as I can tell, the pins aren't damaged. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
