yeah well... show some love and ship me a 240 lol

This is correct.
 
I would say learn to build a few systems first before you attempt to tackle a full system build. You also need to do loop maintenance on custom loops every once in a while.

Okay so I recently had an issue with this code... and I'm sure most the people that have/had this code find it nearly impossible to find anything on the web that actually works. This thread is to hopefully help you out. (This is my first time doing something like that so correct me if I am wrong!)

What is the code and what does it mean?
There is some form of issue with the memory that will cause the computer not to post or go into bios. (In my case it was the bios)

Trouble shooting steps:
Check each individual ram on the slots of the mobo.
Pull the cmos battery for 10+ minutes and try replacing. (This will clear your bios settings so you may have luck here)
Bios flashback via a usb... please google this step if you do it..
Check your power connections
PULL YOUR BIOS CHIP OUT AND RESEAT IT (this may not work in some cases)

Common issues that I've read:
Bios will be in an infinite loop
Computer will not post
Everything works but no display

Possibilities that may be at hand:
Bios is corrupted
RAM is dying/not supported with the board
Memory controller died in your cpu
Mother board is bricked.

If you are not able to fix the following with the cmos trick or the bios chip PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just RMA the board before you spend tons of money throwing parts at it unless you have the ability to use a test bench with working components!!!!

Now here's what actually worked for me:
Luckily I had a second motherboard (same model... I bent some pins.. shame on me) and I swapped the bios chips out. Powered it and luckily mine went into bios and then booted.


Please if you do find something that works, please feel free to post it here. I can not tell you how many countless hours I spent trying to correct this issue.

Thank you for the time.

Nice troubleshooting guide and thanks for sharing.
 
Nice build.  I'm a little jealous. 

lmao, wanna see who can kill their 5960x first?

Man, I've done some unbelievable shit to my 5960x and it just keeps on ticking.  There's no killing it.  haha

Just cause

I would tell you to shoot me before I did any underglow

I'll bust out the chemistry kit then! lol

When you have man titties

MSI is decent quality stuff, however motherboards asus>msi all day long.
 
And if you're going to water cool, invest in a bigger case. 
 
Strix is a better buy than the 8G w/e it is now

I've seen plenty of 6700K's rocking 4.8 at a decent voltage on the Hero boards.
 
LN2 is if you wanna break 5.5 GHZ+ and running extreme amounts of voltage.
 
and lets face it... the ROG board will make his rig pop 10 times more.

Granted most of it is silicon lottery.. the hero is the way to go over the z170 deluxe if you want as much performance/dollar.
 
Anyways, hoped the pics enlightened you with the define r5 and water cooling.

Fittings 200-250 - DEPENDING on what you need/want. can be cheaper
Waterblocks 65ish cpu 150ish for GPU and back plate
Rads 200ish
Pump/res - 100-200
Fans 100 or so
Tubing 10 dollars maybe
Coolant - premix stuff 25-30ish

Not really anything different minus drivers. They tend to overclock 1000x times better

I got custom cables done by them and they were shipped in 5-6 days iirc. Came from Asia relatively fast. Very nice sleeving so I would say yes.

I don't even know why I'm mad honestly. Feel like just yelling at someone and hurting them.
 
What the fuck is wrong with me.

I've disciplined, just have the urge to do it doesn't mean I will act on it. I'm fine now. Thanks everyone

10/10 fucking wish i could have that
