So time for a little rant. Not that it matters all that much since nobody from asus actually reads these forums it seems. But it might help others.
Bought a new motherboard. An MSI x570 carbon. Installed a new CPU but the same model (5900x). New because overclockers customer service is terrible but that's a side rant.
Installed exactly the same RAM, GPU and PSU.
Booted first time, no issues. As you'd expect from a high cost motherboard. Even though MSI's was cheaper.
So I'd like to thank asus for wasting my time and money. I'll be sure to avoid asus products from now on. Cancelled my 3080 strix order on foot of this.
tldr: think twice before purchasing asus. And that's coming from someone who's been buying and recommending asus stuff for a long time.
PS. Might want to actually provide support on your support forum and not rely solely and lazily on support provided by the community (good as they are).

I ain't singing MSI praises either. Their build quality is questionable.... An m2 screw socket just came away from the pcb when I unscrewed it's captive screw.
But at least MSI actually posted. Not once did asus post.
There's another thread here somewhere with a guy that had the same problem as me with the same specs. He narrowed it down to some incompatibility problem with the AX1200i. But again it works with MSI so.... 'worse' board is a matter of perspective.
Frankly, I'm not satisfied with either manufacturer right now.

Did any of you read what he "actually" said? the PC won't POST! so no access to the bios.... man, how hard is that to understand? no wonder he's given up.....
I had similar issues, but the latest bios allowed me to boot, of which I set ram setting etc... if he can't get into the bios he has no chance...
That said, I won't be buying an asus motherboard again (I've only ever brought asus, 3 boards, 3 GC's), even after sorting out the bios/ram settings, I had to flash it back to the first bios that supported my 5800x, the only bios which is stable at stock, checked my cpu and ram in a friends pc, msi board, works fine!
Asus has gone downhill yet still charge the premium.
I understand and appreciate this point BUT my point is that shouldn't the board fallback to safe settings (lower frequency) if it initially is unable to post? This has been the way with every modern motherboard I've used in the last 10-15 years. This board does not appear to do that.

OP didn't even bother to look in the bios under the memory timings to see the default behavior of the failsafe is two post failures and then it will reset to default settings. OP didn't wait long enough and went straight to complaining.

*Sigh*
Do you really actually think I booted the board ONCE and immediately gave up and started complaining? Seriously?
That's utter nonsense. I spent an entire day hunched over that board. I can assure you, I reset it more than once.
This ain't my first rodeo.
Not once did it POST. Ever.
