Hey Edgar. I retested those no boot set of ram sticks, and yeah they were finicky. Oddly posted on an Intel test bench, but then failed under stress test immediately, and no boot on my AMD test bench. Did post on my rig, but one of the sticks would post and show up in bios, but none of the ram was accessible. Im guessing good ole old school Static disharge damage. It is Ram afterall, and its a volatile component. Ended up having Corsair RMA'ing the kit. So the kit was defective, My bad. Happy to have replaced them and your project completed!! Looks Good!! And thanks for the Blessings!! :D

“Boot or bust” would be my name suggestion. I think it would be cool to do this in different price budgets, or constrain yourself to hit certain performance numbers. Maybe in the future use specific apps to make your deals to make it more challenging? I.e just offer up, just Mercari, just marketplace etc. could also do full setup challenges including peripherals. This inspired me to search for deals to refresh my PC. 7 years strong but definitely showing it’s age with new games.

As a pc builder of 18 years, I have only seen ram issues with intel kits on AMD builds. The double or triple reboot on the motherboard was definitely ram training/testing from AMD's bios settings. Some kits do work with AMD and vice-versa, depending on the cpu sku from either side. I did find your vod from my recommended, and was highly impressed with the content you're making. I love it!

As someone who flips PCs , I've dealt with a lot of RAM issues, especially with Ryzen chips. Particularly with the older generations the memory controllers aren't exactly great, and RAM compatibility is always an issue. I won't declare a set of RAM dead until I've at least tried it with an updated BIOS (which I do on all boards anyway), as that often hugely improves RAM compatability with Ryzen. I've also had a lot of issues with Corsair Vengeance LPX. It's cheap RAM. i've experienced exactly your issue - no POST with a Ryzen CPU and Corsair LPX, which then worked fine after a BIOS update. Live and learn.
A lot of rookie mistakes were made but you did well anyway (especially that case...). You can learn a TON doing this, BTW. Especially troubleshooting lol... Would make a good series.
Few tips: RAM and storage are so cheap right now that it's best to just go new with them. Saves you headaches, and time. If you're flipping, add some $20 cable extensions and a $20 CPU cooler with some RGB and not only will it sell much faster, but you'll get a better price (more than what the cxooler and extensions cost).
The markets will vary but you should be able to get $700-800 for that PC at least - IF you added those cosmetics and had a good listing. I do similar builds all the time, there's actually a pretty big market for those types of PCs. A lot of people can't afford more.

I think "Will it boot?" Is a neat series name, so thats my vote.
