Can we get the boards exact model number?

Not exactly sure what you but heres the link to the board https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-ZENITH-EXTREME/

The A2 post code means it cannot locate your storage to boot your OS. Try going into your bios and locate your drives.

I can't keep track of how many ROG boards there are that's why I asked. Didn't know Zenith in itself was the model number.

 

I'm glad knoyue found it because skimming though the motherboard manual I can't find the POST code section anywhere.

You can try unplugging your boot device and plugging it back in or you can try resetting CMOS.

I have tried that too and still nothing happens. I tried clearing cmos with and without the boot device but I still  have the same error and I also updated the bios but nothing changed

If we've isolated it down to your boot drive did you try plugging it into a different slot? I'm assuming it's an M.2?

Actually no I haven't tried that I could try putting it on the other side of the dimm.2 if that would work

So it's connected to a daughter-board. You can try mounting it to the other side and just in general reseat the daughter-board. Perhaps you bumped it while installing the watercooling.

Okay that worked! But now I get into the bios for a few seconds and I get a code error A9 BIOS Setup menu

I wish your manual listed your Q codes (maybe it does but I sure as heck can't find them) but some research says A9 may have something to do with the GPU. Can you pull it? Have a spare air cooled GPU? If the tubes are long enough it doesn't have to be out of the chassis just out of the slot.
