Okay, the following confused me a bit.

(I'm pretty much discarding bad hard drive as the cause of my issue as i actually got it to boot once or twice and everything worked fine, and i didn't experience any data loss/slowdowns/crashes. As of now i think it's a mobo issue)

 

 

Anyways, remove all of your RAM except for one stick.  Disconnect everything from the motherboard to include GPU if you have an iGPU available.  Take it all the way down to just the CPU, motherboard, PSU, 1 stick of RAM and your keyboard.  Try it and if it doesn't work, clear CMOS again with everything disconnected and try again.

Cause it's X79, the 3820 that used to be in it was sandy bridge-E and the 4930K I replaced it with is ivy bridge-E based. Not actually Haswell, though if it were; I'd be a happy guy, seeing as it's a 6 core, 12 thread beaut. 

Bit of a lame name maybe, naming it after its cpu's generation (mostly my fiancées' idea oddly) but I'm shit with naming anything. (for example my dead HD 6990 is merely called Antilles) 

Definitely didn't know about SB-E or IB-E. thanks for shedding some knowledge on me.

No problem :)

I mean, the 5000 series and 6000 series for the X99 platform aren’t Broadwell and Skylake as one may think; but actually Haswell-E and Broadwell-E ?

 

I don’t get why they’re numbered a gen newer than their actual generation architecture but ohwell :)
