Damn, that's a nice setup. (although kinda shit GPUs)

try plugging your display into the motherboard instead of the GPUs and see if it posts. also, follow these instructions:

 The mother board doesn't have onboard video and the you I have currently til I get a real one is some AMD which I know that works just using it to get the board to start up for the first time

Just be clear from what I just read from a No Post or start up guide it mention about bios update from the cpu.... Well this board is a 2014 model and this broadwell-e processor just came out few months ago, do u think that could be the issue if so how can I update the bios if it does boot up

The problem is basicly your cpu.

Your motherboard does not support the 6800K out of of the box without a bios update.

Since Msi doesnt seem to have a feuture which allow you to update the bios without a supported cpu installed.

I´m affraid you are pretty much stuck unfortunatly.

You gonne need to borrow a Haswell-E cpu to update the bios.

Or You you could go to a local computer shop and ask if they could flash the bios for you.

 

Or you could return the 6800K for a 5820K.

But unfortunatly that means performance loss.

 

That is just one of the very few reasons why i dont like Msi atall.

They focus too much on shit that doesnt matter.

Instead they should focus on adding feutures to their boards that do make sense.

The issue is your BIOS version which isn't compatible with the 6800K without a update.
