Right i have just hauled the motherboard out and connected it to a spare psu, still nothing.

i will try that.

I have checked for a short and haven't seen anything that stands out.

I have tried that, and have checked the socket. If i had damaged it it would not have worked yesterday.

Hi there, I have been having issues getting my Rampage to power on due to it not responding to any power button. The motherboard will light up indicating it has power but will not respond to the power button . The front panel power on does not work, i have tried jumping it with a screwdriver to no avail. The motherboard itself does have a power button integrated but that also does not respond. The motherboard worked yesterday, but upon booting it this morning it has this issue. CPU: Intel 7900x Mobo: Asus Rampage VI Apex Ram: 16GB Ballistix Elite 2666mhz DDR4 PSU: Corsair RM850 850w GPU: Nvidia 660ti / Nvidia 1080ti I have check all conections, I have unplugged every connector and put them back one by one to check, i have tried a different GPU and PSU. The motherboard will light up indicating it has power but will not respond to the power button. All these components are brand new. As previously stated it worked yesterday when i tested all the components. Thanks Codfish

But Threadripper would?

Ok i have heard about latency being an issue with threadripper. Windows 7 support is a must. Would the features of this board: https://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-X399-Gaming-Pro-Carbon-AC/dp/B074DXWZ3N/ref=pd_sbs_147_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=Z2RP5EAWJQQCK345NC1T Match with this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01KD9A10Q/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1NUSAAE67H03L&coliid=I2EMRR6WBY38M7

The 1900x is the performance similar to a 1800x?

Im not after x299 if i can help it

Thats good, but ryzen is still has 20 pci lanes

I want a 8700k with more PCI-E lanes basically. Also i haven't seen a 1700x beat a 6800k let alone a 6850k. Also i want to stay away from Z370, it seems messy.
