Yeah I agree, I'm going to get in contact with them and hopefully can get a replacement without too much hassle. I've been in contact with MSI and have tried everything they suggested, as well as RMA'd the original motherboard that I purchased.

Nope, no bent pins or anything visible that would be causing an issue

I just reset CMOS with JBAT1 and flashing BIOS again and noticed that the CPU light was still lit up on the motherboard. The only things that were plugged into the motherboard were the CPU_PWR1 and ATR_PWR1, so it makes sense that the CPU wouldn't be detected. What doesn't make sense to me is...

I took a look and don't think that it was an OEM tray part, but I'm not 100% sure. https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-7-3700x/p/N82E16819113567?Item=N82E16819113567 It's unfortunately been past the 30 return window so I'm not going to be able to get help from Newegg. On the product page, it does...
