Crosshair V Formula-Z fx 8120 not posting bios 1002

Zerid
Level 7
I received my new motherboard today (the first one had a issue with one of the cpu power ports) I popped in a AMD Phenom 995 to update the bios to 1002 and everything worked out fine. I even went back into the bios to verify that it was updated to version 1002. I put in my FX 8120 and the CPU LED is lit and it will not post. I put the Phenom 995 and it post just fine. Anyone know what's going on. here are my specs

do you have the formula-z or the formula? if it was the z and you updated with the formula bios that could be a problem. the formula-z should have not needed a bios update to get the fx 8120 to work. if you updated with formula-z bios you should not have problem sounds weird to me.

I have the formula-z, the only reason I did it because it wouldn't post to begin with. When I get into the bios I noticed it had 0508 loaded, i check the website and it was listed as a beta. Not sure why a beta bios was loaded on a production Mobo SO i uploaded to 1002.

can you test the fx 8120 in the a different motherboard to rule out the cpu? and check the cpu for bent pins or see if you got any paste on the pin side by accident.

Wish I could, I got this Mobo because the usb would not load on my Sabertooth 990fx so it was a big paper weight. I ordered at FX 8350, I'll have it tomorrow morning so I'll test it out when it gets here. I'm pretty sure it's the CPU because if it were the MOBO it would not work when I put in the Phenom 995.
