So randomly my pc would power off and reboot once or twice a day. Power flickered on/off quickly like 3 times the other day and hasn't powered on since. Was a loose mobo connector from the psu.

Pc is at a shop being tested, psu was good, hoping to god it's only the mobo that is fried..

Pretty good, especially if you can take a pic of a blown capacitor/ burned spot on mobo to prove the failure of said product.

Yeah, if it's still under warranty...just RMA it.
I wouldn't tell them it was a loose mobo connector though.

No way to really tell with out testing those parts individually.

I mean once one major component like a motherboard/ power supply goes it can take other stuff down with it.

CPU's are pretty resilient because they are meant to deal with high heat/ voltage compared to other components. The GPU chip itself is probably fine for the same reason but something on the PCB may have gotten fugged.

It's just the mobo!

I'm going to overnight a new one while I wait for RMA process, then sell it after.

Any good deals on? I have a 6600k ddr4 2133mhz gtx 1060
