Hey guys,

So I just started my new build today and after the first attempt of booting up it seems that Im getting an error code. The error code I am getting on my Motherboard is 55 which from the manual says its a memory initialization error. The PC will boot, and then it will display the error code on the MOBO and then it will restart and repeat the process. 

 

Also, from the Kraken x61 guide, it says to plug in the 3pin power for the pump into the 4pin CPU_Power connector on the board. I'm not sure if Im missing something but where is that? I see CPU_OPT and CPU_FAN.

 

Let me know if anybody needs anymore info.

My build is below

Try with one stick of RAM at a time if it's a memory problem

Ok so I took out the RAM and used just one stick, didn't change anything. From what I read about other people having this issue they said that it was CPU related. Should I try and reseat the CPU again? Im 100% sure that there is no bent pins.

So supposedly since the Skylake Processor can only reach 2133mhz for the ram, thats why Im having the issue and I need to go into the BIOS to change it. Although I can't get into my BIOS to change it since the system just restarts itself and goes into an endless loop. Any suggestions other than just getting new RAM sticks that are 2133mhz? Or is that my only option.
