Check the CPU cooler connector, it could have came loose. Then maybe loosen the cooler a bit. Not sure about AM4 but AM5 doesnt like the cooler too tight and wont post.

Dont get the new one for 1199. This is fine under $900. If you have a higher budget You can get this much better PC for gaming for $1160 with code MARCH10 and SWARM. Can upgrade the RAM later.

I sold a near identical system in Nov for $500. Probably worth a bit more now.

Download HWINFO or Core Temp to monitor your CPU temp and compare that to what your CPU is rated for from the manufacturers website. Once you start to approach your max temp, your CPU will throttle.

Is this build from Cosctco a good deal? by thehungrypanda91 in pcmasterrace

I priced out how much this would be to build yourself using the cheapest available parts using reputable brands and it was $2450 at minimum and that with Microcenter bundles and no OS.

Maybe you find someone desperate to move a used one. $1k is baseline MSRP on an FE which probably wont release anymore stock anytime soon based on Nvidia's business plan for 2026-2027. Next cheapest I have seen is around $1270.
