For the 1 Millionth time. Elon Musk has said that the problem with AI isn't that it's going to kill us all because it becomes self aware and hates mankind. The problem with AI destroying us is that if a tiny group of people develops it first, it will enable them to advance in knowledge and...

A replacement gasket arrived from ekwb in a little less than a week. I haven't installed it yet, but I will soon. I'm thinking about doing a quick test with the multimeter with the probes at a set distance apart to see if I can see a difference in conductivity between the old and new gasket.

Pulled CPU block, CPU, reinstalled CPU, installed CPU block after trimming intel flaps from backplate, installed block gently. Bios flash from USB. Booted. Worked. This board and install retention are so finicky...

In reading posts online, it appears that others that removed the center of their rubber gasket in the defective ekwb backplate retention also experienced this, but it's just unusual that it occurred at a failed very small overclocking attempt. The pump definitely was working. Temps generally...

Ugh. The first day I played around with overclocking I'm getting a Q code of 8. Tried clearing cmos, tried reflashing. Neither appear to be breaking it free of the code 8 system initializatiom agent issue.

EPDM is supposed to have excellent electrical insulating properties. Maybe they got a bad shipment of parts or something.

I love you guys.;)

Couple of updates. 1. Attempting to reinstall water block with tips from EKWB were not successful. 2. Attempted fan cooler inside of case again, failure this time! 3. Attempted to remove the center of the rubber gasket, and then the air cooler worked multiple times. 4. Attempted to reinstall...

Thank you for the input! I definitely have the ekwb supremacy evo block, and the kit included a am4 bracket. I read the description from the link to over at the oc net and the description sounds similar. Thank you for posting that. Despite my searching the web for answers that didn't come up...

Put motherboard back into case with same configuration with the only exception being that I reinstalled the water block instead of the air cooler. I tried plugging the air cooler in instead of the pump, didn't boot. Pulled the ssd mount and fan controller off the back to check for clearance...

We have fans spinning Removing the motherboard and booting from cardboard box is a good sign. Now to find the ground short..

Flashed the bios. that process appeared to work normally. The system still will not boot though. Water pump and fans do not start.

Tried pulling each ram stick. Tried resetting cmos multiple times with power on and off Verified that psu would still power on with the psu bypass plug. Still need to try: bios flash Pulling board and looking for rogue standoffs Booting board on cardboard box outside of pc

i know someday when I look back at this as a conquered challenge I will laugh, but for now I just want to smash something. :dead:

I'm curious, When people have had to clear cmos, possibly even multiple times on a new board, are they seeing the same behavior with lights on the unit, but no response to the power button? in my past experiences if a board has an unstable bios configuration, powering up the system results in...

Possibly, but if that's the case.. the green led that says CPU ready from asus is poorly implemented.

When I unplug the CPU 8pin, the motherboard identified they were missing and displayed an led next to them. When I reseated the cable the light went off. I've done a fair bit of troubleshooting. The two identified next steps are basically to pull the motherboard and attempt to post on cardboard...

I pulled the psu from my trusty 2500k system. It's never been flakey. Very solid performer.

Disconnecting all switches and trying to use the start switch on mobo failed. Disconnecting all fans, USB, audio etc also didn't remedy the issue. pulling the board to rule out ground fault is going to be a pain in the rear because I have a custom water loop. This would be far less of a pain if...

Looking online, it appears that bios flashback is supported on this mobo. Since it refuses to even power up the power supply on hitting the power button, its anybodies guess on if trying to flash the bios is possible. I'll try that.

AMD 1700x Asus CrossHair IV Hero Corsair Dominator 16gb 3200mhz (on QVL) Corsair hx850 Ekwb p280 Gigabyte gtx 1080 My digital sad 480gb When psu is turned on, the lights on the motherboard illuminate. The CPU ready light is green. No q or error codes displayed. Trying to power on the system by...

Oh sure. My EKWB 280 Performance Water Cooling Kit just arrived yesterday and now the bracket is on the way. Meh...

In for 1 to replace a Strix GTX 970

I'm trying to determine if I can get clearance for the memory on a Crosshair VI Hero with Dominator Memory and a 140MM Sized AIO. Let me know if any of you has experience with this. :D

Thank you for the outstanding description Doyll

Jeez. Bringing back memories of K6 builds with voodoo add ons and Mechwarrior. Building pcs 20 years ago required a lot of patience. Not only that, but the user communities weren't mature like today. People purchased parts mail order People read reviews in magazines... Thank God for Kyle and...

Grimlaking, you switch to 7700k?

Asus Crosshair IV AM4 In Stock now at Newegg! https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132963&ignorebbr=1 I just cancelled my Pre-Order with Amazon. They told me it could be up to a month before my order is filled. I checked Newegg and it says in stock. Good Luck fellow Hard...

I returned my Trident 3000 and purchase Corsair Dominator 3200. This was almost done almost entirely because it's on the QVL list and I don't want to deal with compatibility issues any more than absolutely necessary :D

Still no ch6 or eta from amazon

Anyone actually get their brackets?

That's a shocker...

I purchased the Gskill Trident Kit before I found out about the more compatible ram. I could probably still return or exchange my 3000mhz stuff. Any suggestions? I'm not an extreme overclocker F4-3000C15D-16GTZB 1

Funny you should mention that. I was just thinking about how the 80 boards on the way might show up with a bunch of goodies that make me regret so much into the Crosshair. What's the best value board in the early release segment?

Damn it. What's a good alternative premium mobo to preorder? I don't want to wait two months.

CPU arrived from Amazon today. No update on the Crosshair...

I have a working 2500K. I've used it for 5 years. What's another month or two? :P I wonder if my wife would kill me if I bought a 1080 or 1080 Ti... hmmm

Still no word on my Crosshair from Amazon. I also read the email from Corsair that the adapter to make my H105 work on the 1700X is backordered. I'm going to have a processor, case, and memory but they will just collect dust. The only blessing in disguise is that by the time I build my system...

Still no shipping info from Amazon on my Crosshair ordered on the 22nd. :(
