And not even throwing in some 3D at least.

So, I fiddle a bit with it and manage to reach POST and even boot to Windows, after taking out the RAM and putting it again, one by one and even rotating them to see if one might be busted. Nevertheless, seems that it doesn't like having all the RAM in place, and especially at XMP. It worked...

Just tried with an old PS/2 keyboard and the issue persists. Also, it was rebooting by itself almost everytime after the DEL screen. I'll ask Amazon for a replacement.

I just rebuild my system with a new ROG Rampage V Edition 10 MoBo, and I'm stuck at the press DEL or F2 to enter BIOS since none of my keyboards are seen by the MoBo. I checked all the USB ports with an old Asus mouse with internal LED and that mouse works, or at least lights itself (since...

After a LOOONG process of asking the retailer for a RMA number, then sending (at no expense) the MoBo to the regional ASUS "certified" collaborator, I find out the MoBo is beyond repair and the retailer didn't had it on stock so offered two options: choose another product or ask for money back...

Definitely

Too much hustle so I just RMA it after ending my vacation. Had it for almost 1yr and 1/2. I'll wait and see what they'll send in return.

Hey all, since the day I bought the mobo, around 16mo ago, I had issues with it. It used to boot loop quite often, but I always though it was because of the OC and since keeping the rig ON for weeks/months at a time I didn't care much. Now after a hard reset (because I disabled LAN for a moment...

I have an internal Card Reader and just got a bay adaptor for it.. and is time to plug it in on the motherboard. Is it safe to plug the 4pin USB header while the system in running? I usually don't restart it weeks at a time (hard working PC) so I would plug it asap.

I managed to get it to work at 4450 with XMP @ 2800 but not stress testing it yet. First I'll play some Battlefield 4 / Metro Last Light Redux on Ultra @1440p with a couple of dozens of WinXP VMs in the background generating fake web traffic and see if it's stable enough in order to do my...

Eventually, I found out the that SpeedStep need to be disabled in order to jump over the stock clock. With XMP enabled I can't OC the CPU and the CPU @4500Mhz will work only with 2133 RAM. Regardless the voltage increase. I tested the RAM with memtest for about 48h. All 13 tests completed for...

I've built an X99 system with these specs: Asus X99-E WS (updated to 0801 BIOS) i7-5960X 64GB DDR4-2800 ->G.Skill F4-2800C15Q2-64GRK Win 7 x64 Issues: - Is there a way to SUCCESSFULLY disable Turbo Mode and set a Core Ratio over 33 (since it shows in CPU-Z that multiplier is between 12-33)...

Starting up the machine (without OS or SSD yet) and reaching BIOS goes kinda slow, and most of the times the mobo hangs with BD , B6 or B7 QCode. For now, until my SSDs will arrive, I am just playing with the BIOS features trying to overclock but looks like it doesn't like any of the settings I...

I would like Tom to TAKE OFF those aluminum clip-on heat spreaders and see whether is Kingston or Samsung written underneath. My money is on Kingston.

So there won't be 16GB sticks any time soon? It would be enough to match only 4 of those together.
