Alright, got a tough one. Gigabyte Z790 Elite Ax ver 1.1 shows solid amber CPU debug led, will not post.

Paired with 14700k and be quiet! BN513 Pure Power 12 M PSU.

Troubleshooting steps thus far

- attempted multiple Q Flash + bios flashes using different USBs (to include a very old 2.0 or older 16gb stick) flashing non-beta bios for ver 1.x.

- cleared CMOS via battery removal

- bare post attempts (2x 8 pin CPU and 24p mobo connections and cpu fan power only--connections are flush and smooth on both ends of cable)

- Down to using 1 stick of RAM for troubleshooting (G.Skill Ripjaws S5 F5-6000J3040G32GX2-RS5K, which is verified by GIGABYTE for the board) in slot a2, then b1.

How about your whole journey? Mine is below with limited commentary:

27 read, all fantasy (Sunlit Man being more Sci-fi imo)

--------5/5 rating received on Goodreads (7 of 27)-------

The Will of the Many

The Bone Ships/Call of the Bone Ships/The Bone Ships Wake

Engines of Empire/Engines of Chaos (The first novel was a generous 5 star from me, I felt it was probably closer to a 4 but opted to bump up)

Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City

*So, if you're sleeping on The Bone Ships, wake up. Best nautically-themed series I've read. It's extremely rare for me to see no deviation on rating i

I'm curious about folks disliking books well loved by aggregation (I'll be using Goodreads to capture mine)

​

I'm fairly critical of entertainment. I, for instance, would rather often not watch a Marvel movie than watch one.

​

Sorting my read books by Average Rating I'll create two lists, the first will contain my 3 stars or lower, the second will only contain my 2 stars or lower. Both lists will sort in descending order by average rating. My average book rating is higher than most of my other hobbies at a 3.71 out of 5.0 (Board games, for example, I'm at around a 6.6 average rating on a 1-10 scale)

2 or 3 star list:

1. The Trouble with Peace by Joe Abercrombie

Simple post. Look at what reddit did with GME.

I beseech you: Don't buy the 4000 series.

I can afford one, I would like one, I won't buy one. Why? Principle. Come with me Brothers and Sisters.
