   None of the stores within a five mile radius stock an "8".   
   One is coming from China, due 10 August!   
      
   Meanwhile a replacement Corsair 850watt has been delivered and tested.   
      
   On the assumption that the failures were due to short circuits, I   
   adhered fibre washers to a new Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX motherboard   
   (where do they dream up these names), mounted it with one of the Ryzen   
   7 CPUs installed and powered up.   
      
   The fans started up but a warning LED (the CPU one) illuminated.   
   I tried a second Ryzen 7, same result.   
      
   How can I find an engineer with the equipment to test both CPUs in NW   
   London, UK?
