so, been 6 years since i built my last rog gaming computer... maximus iv with 2600k is still alive and kicking.
now
got a crosshair hero vi for the new ryzen 7 cpu. would not post out of the box
previously checked the qvl prior to purchase and checked it twice, for corsair dominator cmd dimms. unfortunately at start up i got an 8 post code and an amber led under, indicating memory problems? wrong version of corsair cmd cas 16 3200 ( v4.24 instead of qvl's v4.3)?
reordered gskill flare x and while waiting, got a new masterliquid 240 (non pro) aio from coolermaster and began disassembling my rig.
had previously tinted my cpu and air cooler with arctic silver prior to placement. when i removed the air cooler my 1700x cpu came out with the air cooler.
doh, bent pins! and even after using a mech pencil to do my best at straightening pins, my mobo shows red led for cpu readiness.
my main concern is... did i fubar my mobo when the cpu came out with the air cooler? retention bracket was in closed position btw.
replacement cpu from amazon should be here in 2 days.
do i wait and see if the gskill ddr4 will work or just rma the mobo? has anybody heard of ryzen cpu coming out with the cooler block on the crosshair vi?
ordered gskill ram off neweg and will take 3 or 4 days to arrive.
any advice will be greatly appreciated. tia
components:

I have had that happen with CPU's in the past with an AMD 8350. I used my bank card to ensure the pins were all straight enough. Literally went up and down each row to ensure each pin was straight in both directions and lining up fine. I has to fidget with it slightly to get it back in the socket but it worked fine. That is why I always lift straight up on the cooler instead of pulling it off to one side. Pulling the CPU out with the retention bracket closed shouldn't damage the motherboard. You may need something slightly thinner than a bank card though because these CPU's have more pins that are slightly closer together. Try reseating the CPU once again after checking to make sure all of the pins are straight and that none are broken.

Hi,
Just got my Crosshair VI motherboard after Amazon delaying the delivery of the board for near 1 week. Everything was good but so far no boot. Error code 8 has shown up every time. Read online about solutions but it's hard to get a clear answer. So far, I've cleared cmos, flashed the BIOS to all available on ASUS. Anyone think they could help me? On the brink of buying a different board all together as I'm trying to get it sorted for the weekend and there's no more left for prime in UK.
My build:
Ryzen 7 1700 brand new
2 x Corsair LPX Vengeance 3000MHz 8GB DDR4
AMD Wraith cooler
Corsair RM850x psu
Any help would be great.

I had a similar problem to you, I would get random code 8 post even at default settings with no overclock, even with a fresh windows installation, then someone suggested to me ,on the overclok.net post for this motherboard, to disable performance bias, and I haven't had a code 8 in over a week now, I also disabled fas boot for good measure.
