Nay, mobo and CPU represent a rather significant investment so no other X99 board or 2011-3 CPU here.

I sure as hell hope it isn't CPU, but according to the mobo manual if there's a problem with CPU init then the CPU POST LED should be lit and I should be getting an error code of something from '06' onwards - '00' is apparently not used.
