ASUS X99 Motherboard Series - Official Support Thread

[FlanK3r]

I had H100, but I sold it. Today died my H220 Swiftech, so after RMA will be finish, maybe this Swiftech. Now I have not much money for next hardware (2x 5960x, car in last months...)

Good morning, all. I am running into a very strange issue with my new build based on a 5960x and an Asus R5E: 3 times out of 4 I hang at POST code 62 which as I understand from reading the forums represents potential issues with the PCIe controller on the CPU. This issue manifests regardless of whether or not I have anything OC'd or running at stock speeds. I have replaced the board, memory, and PSU, all coming from different brands with the same results. I have tried using only a single video card and have alternated the one I've installed. All power connections are made, including the EZ-Plug. Am I to assume it's time for a CPU replacement, as well, or is there some sort of voltage tweak needed for a 4-way SLI setup like the one detailed below (I'm thinking not because using only one card yields the same result)? Any guidance would be appreciated, as I've built a similar rig with every previous iteration of Intel processor and Nvidia architecture with no similar issues. Thanks!

5960x cooled by Thermaltake Water 3.0 Extreme 360mm
Rampage V Extreme BIOS 0802
EVGA SuperNova 1600 P2
Corsair Air 540

4x 4GB HyperX 3000
2x Intel 520-series 240GB in R0

Replaced CPU, same results. I've never had such a difficult time troubleshooting a build...

GodFodder, I have re-read your post twice.

Possible grounding issue
Install mobo in case with all screws
Install 1 VGA with screw
Do not use mobo aux power, no need with testing
Make sure care is seated 100%

You have tried a lesser video card?
You can go into windows? and then it crashes?
When crashes does it reboot and stop at post code 62?
More detail on when you get post code 62 please.

Quick tests

Hynix



Samsung



Micron C12 max regardless of volts

even with any memory this great board on X99 class..... Asus RVE and Gskill 2400 32G @3000

Thanks for the reply, Fugger. Actually the system is rock solid stable once in Windows (it actually holds the 21st slot on the Fire Strike Ultra HoF), it will only POST 1 in several power on / warm reset attempts, always freezing on POST code 62. I've recently replaced the board, memory, and CPU, in that order and at separate times, all with the same results so I think the grounding concern has been ruled out. I do not have a lesser vid card but I have tried all 4 cards individually and made sure they were seated.

[Charles Wirth]

Ok try this. Use the "retry button" to power up your system, does that work every time?

If so, it is a training issue.

[GodFodder]

Well hot damn - it's actually code B2... Looks like the MemOK button does the trick. Will manual voltages fix it, Fugger? Not used to having training issues with memory (first time I'm experiencing it, actually).

[Charles Wirth]

You can disable training in bios

Guys

I need some help, I use to leave my system all day on till nite and let PSU ON, on a case it's normal. Now that i have the benchtable i turn off PSU...I don't know if this is correct or not...

but the problem is that when I turn back PSU ON the other day OC PANEL don't start i have to unplug and plug again, this happens since i started to turn off PSU, I mean of course it stays ON if i don't do it.

Any Clues ? i updated firmware ?

What you guys do you left PSU ON ? at nite ?

Cheers to all !
