I did email the CEO with the photo and explained how I wouldn't send in my motherboard damaged, and I didn't have any photos before shipping to prove I didn't cause it. He asked for the photo I did have just showing the board with the cpu cover on, and at the end of the day he waived the repair fee.  If anyone needs CEO support, just look on the Asus website under support. 
 
Next time I rma something I'll make sure to photo the serial number clearly, with clear photos of the cpu pins.

Well it turns out changing the ini file made it work smoothly. iPresentinterval=0 changed it to a 1, works great. Even with the game pass account and the steam account running on the same server. i7 8700k, doing a good job.

It was 2 years ago when I took of the cooler to install my waterblock. Forgot about the fan plug, thanks. It was hidden , sort of.

A Verizon tech is going to be here on Monday. After my housemate plugged his laptop into the ont and the speed was very slow. The speeds have been fluctuating even on wifi. The only consistent speed is the router to Verizon, which has been 900's. 
 
I plugged in my usb+ethernet 1 gig adapter and it works, same for my housemate.. My housemates cancelled the Verizon call that was supposed to be tomorrow, since we are getting correct speeds now.
  About the cable, maybe if I moved my pc close to the router for a cable swap, to see if it is the cable. The Verizon tech said the same thing, maybe the system doesn't recognize it's quality.

Just cleared the cmos, it worked. Thanks for the replies.

Try clearing cmos, there should be a jumper labeled clrtc to the left of your front panel connectors, bridge the pins for ~10 seconds with the pc turned off (psu switched on) then see if she'll start

I'm installing a Corsair waterblock and on the back of the pcb I had the wrong size allen wrench, (5mm). It looks like I'll need a 4mm wrench, I also saw a video where the guy stated "it's ahh 6mm or 7mm ratchet" I have a 7mm ratchet but then I'll have to take apart the gpu again to find out if it's the right size or not.
Does anyone know the correct wrench size?
