Got the motherboard running, the motherboard was IGNORING the "UEFI only" BIOS setting, it was attempting to boot my system in BIOS mode, I found that I had to efibootmgr and tell the stupid BIOS what is what... why the BIOS doesn't scan the first two directories under /EFI for *.efi and list them, then allow the user to select the default is byond me... I mean it would be much much too easy to do it that way. =\
The magic smoke had left my previous motherboard, literally a component was burned off the board, so couldn't put it back in service even if it could have been booted. The temporary build actually looks pretty nice. It has an absolutely absurd amount of RGB on it... hmm, I wonder how many of you good ppl have a similarly burned component that you haven't detected for some reason... If your build is more than ~2 years old, I suggest a close visual inspection of all components... The RGB on the ram does cause a serious heat issue when I have 4 sticks stacked up on the threadripper, but on this temporary build I'm only using two sticks and it looks very nice. -- The vaccine is a LIE. #TheHonklerIsReal Powers are not rights.
