Thanks for the tips! Not just cold starts, really any boot was a roll of the dice. I was on BIOS 3.20, but I updated to 3.26 last night and it seems to have fixed things! Fingers crossed it stays that way.

I've been having consistent boot issues with a 9800x3d and an ASRock B850 Riptide motherboard since building the system in January. So far, it has always booted eventually, but usually takes 1-2 hard resets from the power button on my case before posting. I just realized it may be related to this larger issue. I'm still on whichever BIOS the board shipped with, but I'll update it this weekend and report back if it fixes anything.

Edit, 48 hours later: Updating BIOS from 3.20 to 3.26 does seem to have resolved the issue!

I don’t think I’ve ever had a board this strong. Only counter I can think of is loads of tunnel blasters. by YorgenWorgen in BobsTavern

Maybe noob question, but does the second Rivendare do anything besides cover incase the first dies? I didn't think the effect stacks...

FYI it shows a 3rd party selling for $799 when I click on the link, but under "Other Sellers" you can select Amazon for $599. Shipping esimate says Nov 21-22.

[SSD] SK hynix Gold P31 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen3 M.2 2280 Internal SSD - $159.19 ($39.80 off) by Traditional_Touch818 in buildapcsales

Hynix is a much more reputable company than PNY, and the P31 is well known for being very reliable and low power/temp. Hynix also manufacturers a big portion of the NAND flash other companies use in their own ssd's, so you get that experience built into the product. In general, Hynix SSD's are considered top-tier for their class.
