new mainboard keeps rebooting

[Spassky]

Hello guys, 

I recently bought the asus rog strix b360-f and I took my old setup and put it onto it. Now everytime I launch it it gets stuck at the RAM LED and it wont load any further. After a couple of seconds it just shuts down and reboots. It goes on and on and on... 

Have you guys got any idea as to why that may be the case. 

 

Thank you for responding in advance

What are all your specs?

 

Is your RAM installed properly? Have you tried reseating your RAM?

I have an i5 6600k, 16gbs of hyperx fury 2133. 2 1tb seagate hdd, 250gb 850 evo, radeon rx 480 (arent connected though) I probably tried out every RAM setup you can imagine with one and two sticks.

That CPU won't work in a B360 board.

Why not? Isn't it just lga 1151?

No, the B360 board (and the other 300 series boards) use LGA 1151 V2. The 6600K uses LGA 1151 V1 so that is the 100 series boards and the 200 series boards, that is why you are having issues booting this PC.

Thank you, I didn't even know lga 1151 v2 existed...

The information is out there, you should have done more research before you bought that board.

Yea, obviously. You should forgive me though that I think everything is okay, because the website says that it's just 1151. That is in my opinion just very poorly managed...

But didn't you even bother to look at this?

Well, ofcourse not, otherwise, I wouldn't have messed up that bad. I just trusted in the page where I bought it. I am angry because I didn't do more research but you will have to agree with me that it should be more obvious for people to see that there are different 1151 sockets...

The B360 chipset was released when people knew that the 300 series chipsets were designed for 8th generation (Coffee Lake) chips ONLY and was NOT backwards compatible with Skylake (6th gen) or Kaby Lake (7th gen). I don't understand how you've messed up so badly since it is well documented in review videos and articles of 300 series motherboards, you now have to choose what you are going to do. 

 

1) Sell the B360 board and buy a Z170 board.

2) Sell the B360 board and buy a Z270 board. 

3) Sell the 6600K and get an i5 8400 (I personally think you should do this)

I still have a mainboard that fits my setup, this mainboard was just bought in order to improve the whole pc later. So it is not horrible for me but still very disappointing. I slightly drifted out of the scene over the last year so I wasn't aware of this problem. You are totally right, I should have done more research and it is absolutely my fault. Will have to wait till I can effort a new cpu
