Yeah, not on the QVL so that could be part of the issue.
 

Which specific kit of Corsair 2x 32GB 6000Mt/s? There's a possibility it's not on the QVL for the board and causing issues. Not enough people check the QVL... Also, I can't tell if you have a display connected. I just helped assemble a new workstation for a lab at my work today and without a monitor connected it refused to POST and enabled the same LEDs (note, this was a B550 ASRock board, so not the same board).

So, you're missing quite a few drivers... What you can do is right-click on each of those devices, then go to Properties > Details > Change the property to Hardware IDs. From there you can look up the VEN_#### and the DEV_#### with a PCIe/PCI lookup site online to figure out what the chip is on that device, and try to find a driver for it. Now, those are probably all built-in chips on your board just looking at the names. That said, did you confirm the card isn't just working? A lot of USB stuff is native, especially NEC/Renesas/Intel, because they are freaking old.

It's dummy hard to read, but from experience in seeing the chip enough, I think that's a Renesas/NEC - µPD720201. Any manufacturer that has a card with the 720201 in it, should have a driver you could install that should work. That said, try connecting a USB flash drive or something first to just see if it shows, or check under your USB controllers for it. I don't remember how this specific chip reports, but it should be pretty obvious.

I think, and I'm going off memory from work here, the uPD720201 should show with VEN_1912 and DEV_0014.

Hey, so what colour mode are you in? According to the manual sRGB adjustment is not possible in every colour mode:

No problems homie. I'm very familiar with this sort of product. Anything with USB-C data should be able to use most of it. USB-C PD capable devices can also use the passthrough for charging, and anything with DP-Alt mode can use the video out. The NIC (that Ethernet port) will only work on USB-C devices that either are running an OS with the required native support for whatever chip is in that, or it will need a driver installed. These things commonly use either a Realtek RTL8153 or an ASIX AX88179/AX88179A. Both chips work in a lot of stuff natively, including many phones.

I'm silly, that thing doesn't have a NIC lol. I'm so used to them having it. Also explains why its cost is so low.

So, that's what is more appropriately called a USB-C multiport adapter. The power is not required, it's a PD passthrough of 100W. Meaning, you can plug it into any USB-C host that is supported and everything should work, but if you also connect a 100W charger to the USB-C PD passthrough port (PD = power delivery, this port should be marked) it will then also charge that device up to either 100W or more likely, 85W (most USB-C devices like this need 15W of power and will take from the host on it's own, but with PD plugged in, they reserve it from the charger and 100 - 15 = 85). That 100W is not needed, and you don't have to connect a charger. Any USB-C compliant host should be able to output the power needed. If power was required it would come with a power adapter or indicate as such.

Now, in terms of watching video from a P7A? I don't think the P7A supports DisplayPort Alternative Mode (DP-Alt mode, or DPAM) which is required for video output over a USB-C port. I think DPAM was added in the 8, but the P7A doesn't support this as far as I understand.

Yes, they have stopped working with them.

So, two things... 1) your clock shouldn't be sitting at 465 MHz, that's weird. 2) You should not be hitting 61.3% GPU power, but ALSO be hitting a power limit. What is your PSU and how many power cables do you have connected? Something is fishy here.
 

This is closer to what I'd expect, where GPU power is near max while hitting power limit.

Apple Silicon base versions (M1, M2, and M3) all only support the built-in display and a single extenral. Bypassing this limit requires 3rd party USB display adapters powered by DisplayLink or Silicon Image. Alternatively, you'd have to bump up to a model with Mx Pro, Max or Ultra to by-pass the limit. You can look up the specific display limits of any Apple product here: Apple - Support - Technical Specifications

Wait, what 2 pins on that did you bridge? There is a chance you blew up the TPM SPI, which may have caused other damage. Shouldn't, normally, the RGB and TPM should be decently isolated from each other, but I've seen weirder things. 

I don't say this to scold, but you have to be extra careful and check the manual before you go bridging contacts if you're not 100% certain of what contacts you are bridging. Even when I'm sure, I'll still double or triple check to be safe.

Also, for the future:

Those are the two pins to bridge that correspond to the power button.

Just to play Devil's Advocate, a box being beat to shit doesn't necessarily mean the product inside isn't still new. I've seen quite a few large retail boxes over all my years look better, the same, and far worse than that box all with new stuff in them. There's no discussion I wish to have on this, just pointing out that you don't know for certain.

Best thing to do is point out your concerns and see what their response is.

Given the age of the hardware, I assume this is either an old, old rig, or purchased from used hardware, correct?

Make sure you're at least on BIOS F1, double-check all the mounts for the cooler and such, ensure it's all plugged in correctly (make sure monitor is plugged into GPU). Outside of that, my usual tricks are things like test the RAM in another system or different RAM in that one, etc, etc. won't work here really because most folks don't have this age of hardware still lying around. If you do though, definitely cross test.

So, these speeds on your SEQ, are not possible for a SATA drive. The SATA protocol tops out realistically, around 600 MB/s. Why are you seeing 8380 MB/s then? You have a write cache enabled. Given the drive in question, it's Crucial's Momentum Cache which caches SEQ read and writes to your RAM. RAM, is hilariously faster than NVMe and so you end up with what you're seeing. 

You'll notice 2 things. 1) If you disable that cache, your speeds will plummet on the sequential to the 500 - 550 mark where they should be, and 2) when doing that test with the cache enabled, watch your RAM. It's going to spike in usage from the caching.

Your Micron is 100% faster, and if you cached it with your RAM would be even faster, barring other bottlenecks. 

Just because it was sent, doesn't necessarily mean their server actually received it for a number of reasons. I'm not looking to get more involved in this conversation than that, but your ISP cannot possibly tell you what their mail server did with the message. It could've been flagged by A/V mistakenly, accidentally deleted, dropped from a bad DMARC or SPF, etc. It sucks in all ways, but there's not much that can be done to prove they got the e-mail unless they responded to it back then. I wish you luck in your endeavor. 

Based on the e-mail screenshot you sent, you got a Titan Stealth in 2018.  Is that what you actually purchased?  If so, your chair only had a 2 year warranty.  That's consistent with this Techpowerup article from late 2017: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/secretlab-titan/.

Would I expect a premium chair to last longer than 5 years?  Yes.  If the information in your screenshot is accurate though, this isn't a warranty issue (it's even beyond the 5 year warranty period if yours was a "2020" model somehow bought in June of 2018).  Piecemeal replacement parts are always going to be expensive compared to a full package price (try building a car out of the parts catalog vs price tag on the lot), so yeah, it's not cheap.  As a (potentially 3 year) outside of warranty option I don't know how much more I would expect beyond the free shipping.

Not trying to stir the pot, just going off what I'm seeing in the screenshot.

If you carrier says it's locked, it's locked. The IMEI check only tells you if it could work on their network, not if it's unlocked. Call the carrier and ask them via a person, and then ask about getting in unlocked if it is. Should be able to get that done for free.

So, as someone that works for a company that sells products globally, forwarders pose a pretty large issue. Products may not be sold in a region for various reasons, and the big ones that can cause issues are either import/export bans, or, issues with certifications within a specific country. 

This is why we ban forwarders, and if you actively tell us your order is going to a location to be forwarded off to say, Korea where we lack relevant certifications to offer the products there, we will cancel the order.

Why? The short answer is support is very difficult if not impossible. For instance, if you purchase the product and ship it to Korea and then have issues, we can't ship any sort of replacements products or parts to the region. Alternatively, if you have an issue with the product, and let's say there's a fire and property damage is resulted, what laws do you have backing you up at that point? Basically none, because the product was never supposed to be there in the first place. You would have no ground to stand on for consumer protection laws, or lacking a certification required for the reason when you actively worked to get the item in an unsupported region. This can also cause issues with liability and so it gets messy fast.

This is an oversimplification, but it should help get the point across that there are issues allowing stuff to be forwarded to regions if you don't operate in them. It get's really bad for us with some countries where they're on the US entity list and so black-listed from companies working with them and their supply chain companies can't work with them either. Since we work with a bunch of Defense contractors, there are entire countries we're not allowed to ever work with without losing those customers. 

No working with forwarders is pretty reasonable as a result, but, it needs to be made pretty clear. We make it clear on our site that PO boxes, APO (army post office) and forwarders are not allowed. Do customers sometimes order to say, a US office and ship it themselves to a country we're blacklisted with working with? Of course, and we can't support them with RMAs when that happens and have to explain why, but this is why we cancel orders if we know that's going to happen.
