As OcUK aren't getting your business (you may want to edit names) - if you have 'speedy delivery' you can get a replacement by tomorrow (ignore max edition) and recoup your 10% if other etailer pulls a fast one (easy to do with CPU).

Brand new build roughly £1000

- Start date
Thanks for the tip on name discretion last thing id eant to do is upset oclockers 
The mugen arrived yesterday aswell that looks a beast compated to the stock ryzen
Was planning on keeping that 2nd psu i got and selling the first one...
But what ill do now is put the 650corsair back in the pc and return the 750evga as a exchange towards the 2600x balance the costs a bit that way!

Probably the best cooler on the market for the money.
I would return it if the new CPU works out the box - as it would be definitive proof that the CPU was at fault - regardless of etailers testing. Plus, you may have problems selling it...
Sorry noob edit i meant psu not cpu returning the 750 for exchange an keeping the original650
So close but so far...
I hope this ****ing works...
So close but so far...

YEY!!!
*Conversely, somewhere, a litter of kittens were dropped off a bridge, in a loosely wrapped hessian bag, to offset this good fortune... (that, or a herd of unicorns were decapitated by an RGB chainsaw).
This is how simple it should have been - clicky - for future reference.
im sure the kittens would have appreciated it was for a greater cause and took one for the team
, not had a good go yet but run prime 95 for 15mins on blend and its settled around 81 on stock coolers
cinebench20 cpu and single cpu core both completed scores look good?
that star swam stress test completed great
god that was done in about 3 pages job done away he went with a big smile on his face... but did he truly come to learn and appreciate how wonderfully stupid computers can be? least im prepared for any future headaches haha
You want to use and abuse now - game/browse/game/game best test there is now.
He probably has more hair than you after the experience.
so what if i got divorced, my 4 year old starved and i got sacked from work during this process at least we figured out it was the cpu!
just thinking when would be best to install this mugen cooler give it a night or just get it done?
Once you've moved off the Indian burial ground!
Congrats.
lol
As said, now you know your way around a PC and troubleshooting far better, baptism of fire and all.

You've been great yourself, and good that you didn't waste anyone's time, especially Plec's, who's been on this the whole time. Some people are bad at answering all the questions, or at trying everything suggested, or they just plain give up wasting everyone's time. So give yourself a pat on the back too.
No worries - always a relief to visit hell and only come back with singed eyebrows.
As, Danny mentioned, you knuckled down and got on with it and trusted/followed what members advised, which makes a big difference when troubleshooting a system virtually.
Plus, you did your own research, to help fill in any knowledge gaps - I wish more members would use a bit of initiative before posting. This sped up what was always going to be a slow arduous process, by default, as receiving a new faulty CPU is rare.
Enjoy your new baby/creation - as it seems like it's been a long, painful labour for you - and you did make it. I suspect there's part of your DNA on each component it the form of: blood, sweat and tears.
*You can now tell your wife you know 'exactly' how it feel to have a baby. Go on, i dare you!

You need to configure/enable your trust (enable it) for me to do that. But once you have done this you'll be able to send me an email by clicking on my trust button.
*Do you need to find new digs after telling your wife that you know how it feels to have a baby?
