On the 3:30 post sitting at code 99---it is the r5000hd dvrs that are causing the problem with being recognized by your bios. If I unplug the 2 dvrs then the machine boots in a normal time frame without hanging at a particualr code. This makes sense because typically after a post and boot into windows I get a 'usb device not recognized' erro message and then have to unplug the 2 dvrs and plug them back in to clear the problem. This is running through your bios because I had similar recognition problems with the m4e and m4eZ boards where once I put the dvrs in the system then my c19 keyboard wouldn't get recognized in boot. I'm seeing that happening intermittantly with this board because some of the boots I'll go to hit enter to go to an operating system instead of waiting for the 'time out' and the keyboard won't work. This has been a haunting problem with Asus noards and bios sense I came back to Asus 2 years ago--the problem doesn't exist with Gigabyte or MSI boards so it has something to do with your process for polling the USB connections and how you are handling it---how about working on a fix I don't want to return the board and go to another x79 board from a competitor?

Where are you located? The way to get a fix is to provide full part numbers for those devices to ASUS Support. If the devices are still available to buy then HQ might be able to get hold of them and see what is wrong.

hi do you have the exact model of your r5000hd dvrs ? which ports are they hooked up to? thanks

I moved the 2 dvrs to usb 30 ports 2 and 4 and the hold on boot is down to around 20-25 seconds now instead of 3:30 minutes. It still causes some hiccups in the system because i can be working on the desktop; processing files and checking the internet and suddenly the mouse pointer will freeze up-then i get the beep from a usb unplug/plug and then the pointer will free up and continue working. Last time I tried to talk to Asus support about these issues they said that 'they don't test other people equipment for compatibility with asus motherboards, and that they designed things properly according to specs so it would be the fault of someone else's equipment anyway' nice attitude a few years ago. The dvr attachment is from Nextcom a r5000hd and the dvr that doesn't behave well is a dish network 622 a dish network 211 in the system never seems to drop. As i said in the earlier post other usb plugs are Dell 3007,ipod,htc android phone,canon prin,g19 keyboard and g9 mouse, occasionally a blackberry or a portable usb harddrive; nothing of consequence to the problem, common hardware--thanks for your input and help, steve

@Raja,

In all your 3930k/3960X MB testing a few days ago, what power supply(s) where you using, please don't say some $400 mini-megawatt PS. I now know now why my Sabertooth x79+3930k won't test and my Rampage III did.

My 4 pin + 8 pin EPS are on one 36A rail, 12V2 is for all external IO devices (drives and things), 12v3 is for 24pin MB, and one Internal PCIe 8 pin, 1 external PCIe 6pin. 12v4 is another PCIE Internal 8 pin and modular external 6 pin.

so my powering off underload is due to OCP on the PS.

I can run at 4.8Ghz @ 1.45, and power my board/cpu and GT 470 in LightRoom 3.5 developing/processing photos, all cores are avg. 70+% utilized.

My 990x overclocked just fine on this power supply becase the board pulled more A from 12v1 rail and not from the 24 pin.

New UEFI for R4E 0803 with memory timing changes to the gaming OC profile.

If updating from an old BIOS, board will halt at code 70 when you reboot after the flash. This is normal, leave it for a few minutes while the onboard ROMs are updated.

Damn shipping and few shortage

All these UEFI update and new stuff while im waiting for my new gear :<(

Come on USPS and Purolator, gime my stuff !

Hi Raja,

I just got my deluxe, but it stop at post code 65/b5. Is it a faulty motherboard ? I have re-seat the CPU several times and system no post & the post code remain the same. I also clear the cmos as well but no luck :-(

b5 Intel Core i7 MRC Code - CPU - check above <---- the possiblitiy of faulty Intel 3960x is rare
65 Initialize PS/2 Mouse <----- I am using MS USB wireless mouse & keyboard

Edit: found the post code decoder but seems the new x79 deluxe have issue

[Raja@ASUS]

Unplug any other USB devices, also try to boot without keyboard or mouse and see if it still halts. Lastly, use only on DRAM module and see if it makes it further than those codes.

Might be worth listing all your parts also.

First run with R4E @ air, love this board already Not too bad of an IMC either i reckon.

Hi, I've already unplug everything reset the cmos for 6hrs. Boot with Asus ATI3450 pcie display. Use one dimm only, plug the kb/mouse with the USB 2.0 socket, the 2nd one. It still halts with the same post code b5/65. I also unplug the USB keyboard, also no help.

A new tool from the ROG Team. Allows you to set overclock thresholds and voltage within the OS for your CPUs. Handy if you're limited by cooling but want to take advantage of higher core speeds during lighter loading. Give it a try!!!!

Enjoy

[DualCpuUser]

Please start posting ALL your voltages. Seeing just VCORE means nothing from CPUZ, makes it extreamly difficult attempting to reproduce other same cpu results, if you can't see the rest.

[pinto]

Raja can you give me the secondary timings you set and the vtt and vccsa voltage you use please.

[Raja@ASUS]

Please start posting ALL your voltages. Seeing just VCORE means nothing from CPUZ, makes it extreamly difficult attempting to reproduce other same cpu results, if you can't see the rest.

No need for stress


VCCSA 1.05V. VDIMM 1.68V.


VCCSA you guys will have to tune yorselves as it is CPU dependant

Timing set will be added to UEFI in a Hynix profile so you guys don't have to do anything but hope you got a CPU that has a strong enough memory controller and good enough DIMMs. You will also need to ensure you can put some time into finding the required VCCSA. In addition I may even post a guide on ROG forums for people who are struggling.

Thank you Raja,

I wasn't really directing the request towards you, but to all that drop their 'success' stories.

But one thing to note for the AI Suite II developers, they need to wrap the application with a window. I went to take an "application" screen shot, and only got the header. How they are drawing it I don'tknow, but "alt-prnt-scrn" didn't capture the whole thing.

I know drivers/kernel not Win32 API's so I don't know what they need to do at the application window to allow it.

I do have a list of UEFI UI suggestions I need to type up though..
