I don't think it's bricked because it's never been powered on. Rather this sounds like a cooler mounting issue like the EK problem. Try starting the board without the cooler mounted/tightened and just sitting on top of the CPU, it's fine for a few seconds just checking if your board will power on.

Thanks very much for the reply. I do have an EKWB setup, you are right. However, in my breadboarding I also tried NO heatsink/cooler at all to see if it would do *anything*, which it did not.

The important part is the backplate, not the cooler.
For EK Supremacy water blocks, remove the inner rubber part (which you don't use for socket 115x either) and only loosely tighten the thumbscrews until you feel slight resistance, don't tighten them up more.
