If I put sticks in the two slots nearest the CPU it will not boot. I have tried swapping the ram with different types, exchanging the cpu, swapping the cooler. This is the same error that the board that I RMA'ed on Wednesday had. I can't believe that two boards have the exact sam problem. This one is brand new sealed from ASUS in Indiana. I hope that they have answers on Monday. I was wanting to get the Formula for the on board sound but may have to go to the Extreme if I can not get the problem figured out. Today we just did bench builds and got a lot of work done.
Corsair H100i is a beast of a cooler for CPUs. I have it on my Rampage IV Extreme as well as the MVF system. My home theater PC has a P8Z77-V Pro/Thunderbolt with i7 2700 and H80i with quiet fans. It is in a Sonata IV. So wish me luck come Monday when I talk to the techs at ASUS.
