Seems ASRock has ghosted me... Welp here's the email thread @LinusTech @jakkuh_t @James

Is there anyone at LMG that help me out with this? ASRock is really giving me a hard time and it really starting to get on my nerves sigh...

Forums finally lets me upload the pic of the m.2 stand off

Well a follow up on this. Safe to say ASRock is ripping me off.... They sent me a preapproved label to do FedEx ground shipping in the US and I can't use that to send the board back to them as I live in a different country. They're not even really trying to help the situation at hand. I paid to send a faulty board back to them and they didn't even have the decency to send me back a working one. Welp guess I'll be no longer recommending them in the future as good at their boards might be

It's quite annoying tbh, why send out a board in that condition if you weren't going to test and make sure it's working completely first. Thing could be damaged in other ways and it fried my cpu and they wouldn't replace it for sending out a faulty board.

Doesn't post with or without a GPU or either ofthe two memory kits I have on hand. It posted once with my friend's 5600g and hasn't since that one time I'm not spending money again to send back a faulty board that I shouldn't have received in the first place

It's not a new board, too much dust on it for it to be new. Most likely one that came in for RMA as well

As the title says a RMA board I got as part of a RMA process is giving me D0 not matter what CPU I use. I borrowed my buddy's system and my 3600, zotac gtx 970, and 16 gb 3200Mhz Corsair vengeance RGB Pro post on his board, so I know those are good, I've tried his 5600G in the board and it posted ONCE and went back to giving D0. For some reason the forums is not allowing me to upload the image of the standoff. Things I've done so far: Reseat RAM, CPU, GPU Cleared CMOS Several Bios flashes (different versions, board has bios flashback so it's relatively easy and okay to flash older versions) Tried a different CPU with only successful POST Tried 1 stick of ram in each slot, tried mixing his ram with mine. NADA Edit: So ASRock has sent me a prepaid shipping label to send it back... Let's see how this goes Edit #2: Shipping label was a bust, it was for FedEx ground shipping and they are not willing to send me an international one.... This is really pissing me off. Also I've attached the damage I saw on the board when I got it Some background to this saga, bought an x570 taichi last year for my birthday in April and it sat unused for then until about September/October (was waiting on 5900x/5950x prices to drop), one day my cpu was reading 70-96c while streaming some netflix so I tore down the system to check that the pump in my aio didn't die and to repaste but just so happens my buddy brought over his system for me to update the bios and when I slapped on his stock cooler on to my system to just do a quick boot and grab the new bios, system wasn't powering on. Contacted ASRock and went through the RMA process and got back the RMA unit on Wednesday and first thing I saw as I was inspecting it was one of the screws that holds down the m.2 heatshield was loose and taking it off revealed the standoff with it's anchor was ripped from the board, sent a picture to ASRock support and haven't heard back from them as yet. I proceed to try to put my cpu on the board and my gtx 970 and powered it on and boom D0, take out on RAM stcik and trying it in different slots with the same error, flash the most recent bios on their website and still the same error, flash on a couple older ones and same error, ask my buddy to borrow his system and flashed on the bios version that added support for the 5600G and POSTed to bios, so I try the 3600 and gtx 970 again and nothing.

Now that I'v seen this post again, I have to sit down and tinker with this 3600 and see how the memory behaves

I find that I can't win my disputes. Last two times I've used papypal to get a refund because the seller stopped responding after sending the money as goods and services and paypal denied the refund both times. Even attached screenshots and everything and they said evidence wasn't sufficient

Yup, but after some trials. I think there's a short on the pcb for the 1080

Things that died: Strix GTX 1080 Gigabyte z270 7700k 6600k z170s crucuial ballistix 16 gb 2400 Mhz kit cx750m EVGA supernova 650w 3TB WD purple 4TB WD red Only thing that still works is my GTX 970

If only my intel rigs didn't kick the bucket fight before the event lol

I have the feeling my pc is too potato for that atm. Is that mostly CPU or GPU?

I going to be a folding event newbie

Been trying to swap in a 1080 that belongs to a friend but none of my psu's would co-operate and the new one is still stuck in customs Q.Q
