Any luck or update on this bud?

Doing mem diagnostic at the moment, Going to try a few modules of ecc from my workstation, I'm getting to the windows logo and the bsod with irql not less or equal which either points to memory or mobo. If memory checks out I will try the cpu in the workstation if that works then I will have to hunt for a new board / another cpu mobo combo. Quick question will 2.4ghz really impact a game that requires 3.6ghz?

So the issue was faulty dimms like you guys suggested, I can't believe that all 3 x 4gb dimms was faulty, well they were purchased of Bob... Anyways long story short I threw in 2 x 4gb Ddr3 1333mhz ecc from my server and boom started up but for some reason this Mobo doesn't like ssd's so I'm booting from hdd. Currently at 3.6ghz on the i5 650(2C/4T) idling at ~25 to 30 degrees Celsius. Any idea how to fix overscaling on the rx 570?

I5 650 @ 3.6ghz easy and well within temp specs. X3430 results coming soon.

So I threw the xeon in and nothing. No post errors no output, everything starts up and fans spin. I'm thinking it's a bios lock out, any idea what version on bios Wil allow this cpu?

So according to Asus, this board doesn't support xeons. There only 2 asus boards from that gen that those unfortunately.

I've seen many people oc'ing these xeons on this board. So I'm rolling back bios to see fo that helps.

The latest bios seems to have been the issue, after rolling back to 2103. It started on the first go no issues. Failed at oc at 3.8ghz(200x19) currently attempting 3.6ghz(200x18) I'm in windows atm waiting on everything to load then I will fire up cpuz for a stress test maybe later I will get aida64 and cinnebench

So I am happy with what I have I know that 82 degrees is a bit hot but that was cpuz stress test on a R149 aluminum cooler. So I am hoping a tower cooler will bring the temps now.

Thanks for all the help gents, I really do appreciate it and it was a great learning experience.

So guys, could a bad bios version cause ram to be incompatible? All 12gb are reading fine now, no errors, just booted up like there wasn't an issue. Closing thread after cinnebench score, thanks for all the help guys, really learnt alot from you guys.
