I did have it running but the CPU/Mobo did not work. All the difficult stuff worked like a charm, but the normally easy operations failed for some reason. And it might just have been related to the early release versions of the components.
Never buy a new released line up directly when it becomes available. Better to wait for a few iterations later. More stable, better drivers and better overall support.
I do not have a testlab over here, like many Youtubers have. So i need to work with what i have. So far i never had these issues before. AMD has most certainly rushed the release.
The system would never boot up. I did order a new motherboard from MSI. But so far could not find the time or energy to start the build again.
Placing it on a bed is not an option, it has to be done over here in my office. I can try to carefully tilt it on its side. Will be tricky though.
If i had it operational, i would have posted pictures long time ago.
TBH i'm fed up with AMD. And Intel is milking it as usual. If they are not, the online shops will.
I can leave everything into place, radiators, pump, part of the tubing and part of the wiring.
And it will take me more like 5 days than hours to get it right. Time i simply do not have right now.
So for now, i'm considering my options. And Intel might be expensive, but never have let me down like AMD has.
Add to that, that they were aware of the initial issues with their new CPU generation. The sucessor was released after just one year. So was the new chipset. So, out dated a bit indeed. But my previous system did run for 10Y with some upgrades. And that was Intel's 2700K. And it can still run most games and programs today.
Maybe i should have never disassembled that one and left it operational for the time, while working on a completely new rig. But than again, my case, the PSU, some HDD and SSD can all be re-used within the new system. Replacing everything with similar quality would be a dent in my wallet right now. And with all the construction hassle around my house going on, it was all really bad timing.
Most has been done now and i can finally focus on other things. Like finishing my build.
