I've honestly tried everything. I've been building PCs and water cooling them for 15-20 years now. Apart from one damaged socket due to my own stupidity I've never had an issue like this. What perplexes me is that it booted up the first time to give me the code, now it doesn't even power up. I can't remove it from the case as it's all watercooled. AMD should really come up with a better CPU/socket design if it's this bloody fussy. Getting a bit sick of it all now considering what I've spent.

I don't think it is that fussy, providing it is in the slider bracket properly and properly clicked down before torquing then it should be good. I moved mine between boards probably a dozen times to do with esxi compatibility and never once hit a problem.

So it locks up on the POST screen?
There's no VGA output so I can't see what's going on, but with 1 stick of RAM I can see it cycling through the CPU and RAM checks before stopping on 'Load VGA BIOS' or something. It then ends at Code: 02 POST ERROR.
To top it all off, after 18 hours of leak testing with no leak found, there's now one coming from the bottom radiator. I'm really not having a good day!

I've seen 02 post errors on Asus boards happen a few times - either HDD errors (poorly seated M.2 drives) or because of bad HDMI cables/poorly seated cards. Tried the gfx card in the middle slot? I'm using the middle as I didn't want to block the mem slots as I'll be changing the mem soon.
Hahahahahaha ignore the above, my monitor was set on HDMI input for my MacBook and not DP for my PC. ****. The error was CPU fan error which I have now set to ignore. It's now booted into Windows, albeit using only 1 stick of RAM.
In my defence I had a lady friend over last night and I'm functioning on 2 hours sleep today.

Oh dear.
I hate days like that, and I have had my fair share of them.
DId you reset the CMOS after doing the flash and booting it up?
EDIT: Just saw the above, dirty, dirty boy!
Boom only 5 reseats later.
I *think* the issue is how bloody fiddly it is to get the Phanteks block on, I really don't like the design of it. It should use bolts which come up through the holes on the block which you then screw into, rather than trying to screw into a hole beneath the block.

OK, standard stuff for ram then - make sure they are in the right slots (a1, b1, c1, d1) and don't enable DOCP/XMP yet (Ryzen probably can't do the 4000mhz your sticks are rated at) - set them to 2133mhz initially and if it posts, set them to 3200mhz and work your way up from there. Not worth going past 3600mhz on Threadripper due to high freqs breaking the 1:1 FSB/IF lock.

I was going to make a "bros before hos" comment until I realised I'd be massively torn between a lady and a shiny new Threadripper. Massively.
Take a step back and come at this with fresh eyes.
Haha, she's a new lady as well.
But I always like to leak test overnight and I didn't get the waterblock until yesterday, so I'm doing this at the earliest chance I've had really. I really need to get the new RAM now so I can transfer my lab accross and sell my old kit to pay off the credit card I've used for it all (not the lady I might add!).

Leak test the new lady overnight...are we still talking about the 3960X here?
@ChrisD. I ran out of patience waiting on a Gigabyte ETA, and called OcUK to switch the order to the Strix... It's now shipped! Only then did I see your posts. You've had my heart in my flamin' mouth all afternoon with your 'faulty board' woes. Insta-regret/worry turned into 'How can I punch this person in the face over TCP/IP? Glad you're getting it sorted.

I'm hoping to have it all sorted soon, going to fix the leak and then look at the RAM.
