OK, so put the 1950x in. Go into bios and reset it to default. make sure the memory is set to 2133 and 1.35 v. save, reboot to be sure the bios is correct. Then put the 2970wx in.After putting the 1950x back in, I can run Win 10, command center, geekbench etc. So..with the 2970WX in, and if I had the "wrong" DRAM, what kind of power-on activity would I expect to see? beeps or code #'s on the motherboard? (I don't even get that now..)

If I were you, I would leave the 1950x, get another motherboard/psu/memory, and then you can have 40 cores and 80 threads total !Mark- Many thanks the advice! I will have to implement these steps in a couple of weeks - I'm going out of town Tuesday, so for the time being I just re-installed CentOS 7 and put this machine back in our computational cluster.

At that point, I would probably assume that the 2970wx was DOA, and return/exchange it asap. Doesn't happen too often with CPUs, but it's not impossible.
No post? No beeps or anything? Could be a rare DOA chip. Any bent or damaged pins?
Also: did you clear/reset the CMOS on the board?
The socket has pins, and they can get bent.LGA cpu's don't have pins.
I am glad I was able to help. This is why I try to buy every CPU that comes out (if its worth buying). The experience comes in handy ! These 29(x)0wx cpus are a different animal than the 2950x and other threadrippers. This was a prime example.Hi All,
Assuming the both board power connectors are attached, which they were, Markfw recommended adjusting the memory voltage to 1.35 v. in the bios. I did so, and it booted up just fine! The Linux OS saw the new proc, so there was no need to re-install the OS. Memory is G.Skill Ripjaws V series DDR4 3200 F5-3200C14Q-64GVK. "Cl 14-14-14-34 1.35 V" on the label. The voltage had been set at 1.23 V. before I adjusted it.
Thanks all,
JK
