MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI Motherboard (Open Box)

I so wanted this to work. Bought a 3600 and a b450 motherboard to begin with. Enjoyed it so much went back and got a 3900X 32gb GSkill Trident RGB and this Mobo, couple 2TB nvme ssds and was gonna see who could stop me with a 5700 behind it all. Unfortunately, didn't go down like that. Got the Board, which btw its amazing looking and astetically its super pleasing to look at and I know if done correctly it can be a heck of a board, unfortunately the top PCI-e slot didn't work and took a good bit to diagnose. Along with that there was some bios "instabilities" that I'd prefer not to be there with this sort of money being paid irregardless of early adopter and growing pains with new releases. Both Nvme drives installed, with a Mech in a sata port = no post or Boot loop after posting. Single nvme with mech in port = boot but random freezing and crashes even after a bios update. At this point it's just being attributed to bad luck and a bad board. Can't always come up 7's. Replacing with the same board, or an Asus ROG or Crosshair. Whichever i can find at this point. really wanting to play around with my 12/24 but dont want to see half potential in my b450 board. gonna store it back and wait till the new board comes in. Looking forward to seeing all the new features, bells and whistles that comes along with x570 and 3rd gen ryzen. MSI makes good products as far as graphics cards go, this will be my first board MSI product ive bought in the board catagory and chalking this one up to what it is, a bad part from a good group and Mfg. Lets see what the next one brings, then we can investigate further.
