X399 Taichi short circuit

well its a shame you had the initial issue

but WE thank you for coming back to update the thread

glad your enjoying the returns on your investment ,may it serve you well friend

Same here, glad to here all is well.

Just an update. 2 days ago I finally received a replacement motherboard (only the board was changed). As BIOS 1.50 was preinstalled, I guess, it was manufactured last autumn.
I built again my configuration, updated the BIOS and this time I could install and activate my Windows 10 successfully. As I have no apps installed, the computer was still in low performance mode. (Hope it will not explode when in the future the CPU will have to render some heavy 3D renderings...)

I'm happy now and think this time, everything will work as designed.

But I lost one month for nothing...

That sounds really bad!
I'm still waiting for the replacement (motherboard) from my retailer. (hopefully next week)

At least I'm warned what could happen next, but of course I really hope, my cpu is not damaged.

I lament to tell you that your proc might be demaged, the same issue happened to me, the mobo caugh on fire same area as well but middle regulartors fried, went back to retailer for new mobo exchange and this time i got an Asus mobo, well put the system back together and this time the the proc burned my 4 pin connector form my PSU, literally melted the plastic off, killing the new mobo that i now have to go back to retailer and see what they can do, the proc is def fried, this mobo killed my proc, my PSU AND the new mobo i got as a replacement! Posted the pics of the insident on tweeter and tagged assrock and never got a response, tried facebook never gor a response, so i am at lost here super frustrated and out of obtions, i HATE this manufacturer, custumer support is the WORST! If u wanna see the pics they are on tweeter, rvaldez22 on there as well.
