So another problem popped up and if I can't solve this I'm done with it.
I managed to replace a damaged cooler, get the gpu to be recognized by the system (windows fresh install solved it - kinda confusing for different reasons) and now everything is up and running...kinda.
When I boot/push the power button the Mainboard LED lights up Red (Manual shows it as CPU related) then in a matter of half a second it shuts down (only noticable by the psu/cpu fans stopping) goes on again after another second LED lights Red again but this time it'll boot into windows.
Everything seems to be running but looking at MSI afterburner nearly all cores show usage spikes.

The CPU is also running at constant 4,3 GHZ without being on high performance - heck even in power saving mode (I needed to put down the maximum cpu usage to 99% for it to come down to 3,59GHz - the minimum usage left untouched by 5% - I did not change ANY other setting so far)
It's annoying (I'm probably annoying too) but I'm reaching my limit - I will also try to contact Asus but I hope someone here can help me out again.
