Newegg said it was new

Ram is as spec'd:  G.skill Ares F-1866C10D-16BAB. 4 modules all
slots full summing to 32G.........

I think the mobo is BORKED....

This one is rev 1.1

I've got the parts to build 3 systems, so I'll move on to the
second one. Get it to work and verify the compoents, one system
at a time. If all else fails, it's the mobo or the CPU. Which of
the 2 will be hard to pinpoint without a hassle.


Looks like Newegg passed me a turd or 2......
