QC could definitely be an issue. If you built yours last year, it was probably with a 2000-series Ryzen? Those were easier to work with given the gear at the time. The 3000-series and x470's are definitely a problem. Here's a clip of someone with a lot of time on his hands who says, "Oh yeah just let it boot loop for 7-10 minutes then it will finally work."[0] Honestly come on, that's not right. There's still something with what's in the inventory pipeline. If you read the negative reviews, you'll see reports of "I RMA'd twice and only the third board worked." Not one or two and more than a few. 0: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HstBneFf4g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HstBneFf4g
