I7 5930K should I keep or Upgrade?

[Sky01454]

Hello folks

I need some advice on what I should do as my motherboard is faulty (X99 Pro) and ASUS rejected my RMA (Typical ASUS behaviour) and swore to never touch their products again. They have lost a loyal customer who has bought their boards for the last 6 years. They rejected it because I broke the pcie tab (that thing to push to release graphics card) while taking my system apart to send it off for RMA. So I am left with an i7 5930K and some DDR4 RAM sticks. What should I do? Buy a second hand motherboard or sell the CPU and move to a newer platform. I am only frustrated at ASUS, Overclockers on the other hand has been very helpful and thanks for the haribo when you returned back my board.

Thanks for reading

PS: Dear lord ASUS support sucks they also lied about some scratch on the left corner of the PCB and I cannot find this so called scratch and seriously a scratch voids warranty now??!!!! Stay away from this company

What's actually wrong with the board, is it dead completely?

The board wont POST unless I hard reset once then it would POST.

Thanks guys I am looking around for a motherboard. Found a pretty cheap MSI godlike and titanium what should I get?

Fwiw, I had same issue and just dogmatically stuck it out with them. In the end they replaced. Might be worth contesting?

They already sent mine back and said something about a scratch on copper pcb or some jargon. I cannot find this scratch but I doubt they would budge. Did you send yours again?
