Mixture of Q-code and troubleshooting. I tried virtually every permutation of hardware config (different GPUs, no GPU, different RAM, mobos, etc.), BIOS updates/CMOS resets, peripherals. The q-code always hung pointing to VGA issues even when the iGPU was the only VGA in the system and the system would POST/boot just fine if I dropped in a different CPU. Obviously I can't say at a hardware level that's what's happening, but I've had a 7950X3D die the same way (though it wasn't DOA) so that's what I'm rolling with
Tempting, anyone have experience with returns to them? I've tried one 9950X3D through B&H so far and the iGPU was dead on arrival, system wouldn't POST.

How did you figure out the iGPU was bad? Just wondering.

Asus motherboards shit out VGA lights for any meaningless issue. My computer has the VGA light on basically all the time and everything works.

wellllll, just in case you didn't already know this: many of the X3D CPUs require a BIOS update before it will post. I have an ASUS ProArt board... had to use the Bios Flashback feature to update the bios before it would POST. Amazing that you can update a BIOS without a CPU these days.
Never heard of this site and MSRP is $699, not $800 as claimed. Seems risky to save just $20.
It is legit I have bought about 8 NAS hard drives and 2 power supplies from them. One hard drive had shipping damage and they did a replacement on it so customer service is good too.
