MSI Z790 GAMING PLUS WIFI Motherboard

Frustration and disappointment from a DOA MSI motherboard.... A new build PC with high end components was the main Christmas gift this year for my son. As the box lay under the tree wrapped in paper and bows his anticipation was building for the big day.....Gathered all the manuals, downloads and hand tools needed in advance. Cleared off the kitchen table and had everything ready to go. Meanwhile he was telling all his friends in the greatest detail all of the specs of his exciting new PC. The day came.... What a beautiful work of art in the smoked glass box, waiting for the whirling fans & LED's light display after performing final checks and hitting the power switch for the first time.... Then nothing, no lights, no fans, no life at all. Did I do something wrong? Is the power supply bad or maybe its power switch? .... Scramble, blogs, searches, YT videos ..... when I found a short video titled "MSI Z790 Tomahawk WiFi will not start unless doing BIOS reset showing CPU EZ Debug light on". Same exact issue, brick, with over 200 comments, most with similar experience. Contacted MSI support by email with symptoms...a few days later, the long awaited reply came, MSI said complete the service request for an RMA..... Crash & burn, I'm done with MSI.... Submitted as an Amazon return.... What should we get to replace the MSI MAG Z790 Tomahawk? He chose the ASUS version of the same board....Now received, installed, and runs fantastic. Better layout, better instructions....Performance Test gives it an overall score of 13,600 with an Intel 13900KF CPU. Wow, that's almost at 95% of all PC's tested! My next task is to submit to MSI a new user manual chapter titled "How to Test Your New Motherboard Before Wasting Countless Hours Only to Determine It's Dead".
