So I just got this MSI X99 Gaming 9 ACK and it won't boot, only the power button comes on. Spent 480$ on it brand new, but i'm going to micro center right now to buy another new board. Anyone know any good boards that don't come brand new DOA? Don't wanna spend antoher 500 dollars to waste on a paper weight. I'm to the point where I'm gonna put the old board in the oven as I'm so upset over this.

Any help on a good working non-faulty brand new board for a M.2 sata on a 980 Ti? And if the board didn't work the first time, is my CPU brand new now broken too?

780T case
M.2 256GB samsung
H105 cooling unit 240mm
MSI X99 Gaming 9 ACK
980 Ti 6GB gigabyte
4x4 corsair LPX 3000MHz ram.
1000 EVGA PSU gold

My Microcenter rep (been going there for 20+ years) said several weeks ago that 2011-v3's were being bled out making roof for new stock to go with the Broadwell-E launch. It isn't a surprise that stock is thin everywhere.

You may want to just grab an open box to tide you over (maybe get the 2 year guarantee on it just to cover yourself). I picked up a cheap Gigabyte that day for $85 after rebate for a workstation and it's doing great:

As it was open and tested at their bench, it already had the latest BIOS when I installed it and had no issues with a 5820k (with a k2200).

Yes the board cost 399 on new egg, so Iwent to microcenter instead. They charged more but I only pay cash so I had to use them instead.

They don't even have the board anymore.

They don't even have them anymore as of my purchase. Maybe those boards was a problem from the start?
