The board is back in its box and goes RMA as soon as I get the shipping label. I asked them to foot the shipping both ways but they'll probably decline, that means that by the time it leaves here it will already have cost me retail price + $150 or so + many months of my life and I STILL haven't seen the NEW and faultless product that I had *PAID* for.

My experience here wasn't flawless either.

My Zen3 build "started in blackness and watching little LEDs",
so I've been through the rough parts of this exercise. And making
mistakes, on "what that LED actually means".

Then, months after the build is finished, I was getting
the weird OS shutdowns (not seen on Linux), which cost me
a small fortune to fault-isolate. The knee jerk reaction,
would have been to send my 5000 series processor for an RMA,
but experience tells me it's not the processor as
they're very reliable as parts go.

So I ended up getting an extra motherboard, testing, finding
the CPU was fine. And then I started fuzzing the config
(shut off RealTek NIC, shut off iGPU, install Nvidia card,
install Intel NIC, finally it settled down). That does not mean
it is "fixed", either. it means I'm allowed to use it.

I think the experience is intended to "build character",
if you know what I mean.
