I did not go out and find another cmos battery. There was no troubleshooting offered by ARrock or resistance on the RMA, so I didn't bother pursuing the battery. Thanks for the help!
At least the second time around, the cooler installation should be much less nerve wracking....

I read 2.74 volts across those power on pins. Is this expected? Shorting the pins as in the picture gets nothing.

My psu still powers on when shorting those pins. A voltmeter showed the expected voltage. I'm inclined to say this is not the problem.
It seems the motherboard is dead. There is an indicator on the board (dr debug) that I'd expect to indicate if the CPU has issues. Anything else I need to check...

With guidance of the board and lots of research, I built a new system a month ago, and everything was great for the past month. I went away for Christmas for 1.5 weeks. Before leaving, I powered everything down , flipped off the psu and unplugged everything from the wall while I was gone. Came back ...

I just built the almost the same system with a Nvidia 970 GPU.
Some might suggest a slightly less CPU, or non-unlocked model and to go with the stock cooler?
ILike recommended a slightly cheaper motherboard than I was originally planning. I stole a wireless card from another computer. Maybe y...

Thanks for the input. I'll go with the Extreme4 unless there is some other deal at Microcenter that is too good to pass up.
I already had purchase the memory and power supply with a rebate, but I guess that isn't showing up properly. I'll put the MX100 ssd on my list to grab.
And... just when...
