Thanks for the reply! I build all my systems on a small wooden table with an ESD modmat before putting into the system. After not being able to boot I have tried the cpu on a different power supply with different RAM all to the same effect. Also reset the BIOS. Just to make sure I wasn’t crazy I used an i5 9600K from a different system and it booted fine. Also yes I used the 8 pin. I’m pretty sure I’ve narrowed down the culprit to the CPU and already filed an RMA with intel (who oddly enough only wanted a picture of my CPU and copy of my receipt for purchase to issue a refund as they are “out of stock”) I’m more interested in what could have caused the death of the CPU since as I said I ran a very reasonable and stable OC, never had any excess thermal issues and take all precautions during assembly.* also as I am keeping the original i9 I would love to get it working again. In my experience CPUs are extremely hard to damage without either being reckless or succumbing to age, ESD etc.*
