June 29, 20178 yr Author Nice! The recommended PSU tester is excellent! The written instructions were clear, completely useful and concise. My 4.3y/o Corsair HX850 is perfect according to the tester. I'm assuming this does't really evaluate load capabilities though, so this suggests to me it's useful to see if you have a 'dead' PSU, but one in the honeymoon phase of a slow death. The abrupt stopping of my PC suggests it's not the latter, and the tester proves it's not dead. I contacted ASUS to RMA for a bench test evaluation. So I will package it up and send it out and from the sound of it should hear from them within a 1-2d after they receive the motherboard. They will contact me w/ one of three outcomes: 1. it's fine! This may me my SB-E is out to lunch. 2. The X is out and we can replace it and assure it's returned about to at least boot the first time! It's 4.3y/o board so who knows what all is tired on it. But if it can get me a few months down the road past Threadcrusher and all issues w/ cooling SkylakeX and X299 boards then I get pick up whatever makes the most sense. If Intel uses non soldered TIM on SkylakeX it would be one demerit against them just out of principle---costly CPUs. And 3. The X is out but it can't be replaced. At that juncture I will be out of the game for a bit it would seem.

August 3, 20178 yr Author Sorry I see I started this post last week but never completed nor hit the Submit Reply button. ASUS sent me another refurbished model of my same mobo, I reassembled it all and voila all's well again. 4.42Ghz @1.32v is exactly what I was getting before so I am tickled pink! It all went back together w/o a hitch, it was newer BIOS than I had installed but the overclock was easy and heat management is as before, excellent. It's so nice I don't have to reinstall anything and I have no idea how long it will go for but if I can get another year out of it I'd love it. The cost was $140, and as I say it was not the mobo I sent in but was one of the same model w/ different serial number. Thanks!
