anyone have a socket 2011 CPU they'd be willing to lend me to try and test my new computer build? Either the mobo or the cpu I got is defective and its hard to know for sure without at least one known good item.

I do not. What's the failure mode?

no POST, everything just powers up and all you get is a black screen. I've tested the video card in my old machine and it works. I'm assuming the memory works because there hasn't been any type of indication that they are bad. The mobo required a bios flash for the processor to be compatible. I believe I have updated the bios but there is no real feed back mechanism to confirm it actually worked without a working processor. After flashing the bios I now get a dummy cpu light on the mobo lighting up. the led is supposed to indicate there is an issue with the cpu. I've reseated the cpu and still get the same result. So, I think the CPU is bad but, it still could be the mobo. The CPU has been RMA'd and is on its way back to newegg. Just trying to track down a known good cpu so that I could verify if its the mobo or not.

Well, there it is. Chicken/egg thing. Sounds like you are on the right track. So no post so no beeps. Did you check power supply voltage? Sometimes that flash of the BIOS fails in a spectacular way, bricking the board. Happened to me once, long ago.

Hope the new CPU fixes it.

thinking I might have to make the jump to 4k sooner than anticipated. Other than it being a TN panel I've heard nothing but good things on this monitor and its reasonably priced.

Since I do image editing I chose a Dell Ultrasharp 24 with precision color a couple of years ago. I believe it is the U2410. Great monitor with broad color gamut. Been replaced with the U2413.

I love my Ultrasharps.

4K or bust at this point. Not investing in technology that will soon be replaced. If I was looking a year or two ago yes I agree.

Don't think I ever posted a pic of my completed man cave setup. Got a 60" Vizio M602i-B2 TV, Denon AVR-X1000 A/V receiver, and Monoprice 10565 5.1 speakers. It looks and sounds amazing, especially coming from just a 32" TV.
