supermicro board no post

[mineblaster]

i recently purchased a pair of supermicro x10ssl-f with i3 4160"s for building a pfsense high availability cluster.

the board in question has never posted and 99% of the time stuck "system initializing 15" .

ive logged in with the ipmi  and done a bios update aswell wich angry beeped and got stuck on "system intilising 55" one before going back to the 15 code.

quick googling indicates kind of that its an memory issue but isnt definitive. ive tried 6 different ecc udimms and get 5 beeps from the system

i have never gotten this system to post and i cannot use the first system to test as the vrm was dead shorted and had burned out the two cpus and the ebay seller is sending a replacement motherboard.

i have 3 4150 i3 as the 4160s have both died as the do not give any output on the second board.

ive tried clearing cmos aswell but get the same result.

 

if anyone has any ideas or if i should get the second board replaced aswell or if im sol because i put those damaged cpus in to test if they still work.
