ASUS Maximus VI Hero Error 53

Decided to start my own thread,

here are my specs

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/deadst4r/saved/3gMp

The error is '53' on the mobo, when I take the RAM out all together, it switches to '55'

I have tried seating the RAM in every slot and I push it in hard until it clicks.

I tried to flashback the BIOS using a FAT32 memory pen and renamed the file to M6H.CAP but when I hold in the BIOS button, it flashes for about 10 seconds then goes to a solid blue.

I have read around this error a lot tonight, I think the first step is checking the CPU.

Any advice would be great. I'll update accordingly.

Thanks.

I am using the 4 pin molex cable from the case and it is connected to a cable that came with my evga PSU (a Molex 4 pin)

OK I got it sorted, sorry I am being really stupid. There was just a cable blocking the fan.

Another question - sorry guys

When I push the power button on the case while I am in the BIOS, the computer shuts down IMMEDIATELY, really quick.

Is that normal?

Going to start installing OS after I zip tie a few more cables.

Thanks

Hey guys, this is my build when I'm doing very little, is that OK? I have no idea what temps to expect. Also should I turn the fans down to a slower speed when I'm not playing games etc.?

Thank you all so much for the replies, I'll post photos of my build tomorrow!

Thanks

Someone informed me my RAM isn't at 1600 so I enabled XMP.

Yay!

Do you keep your fans up full all the time?

Thanks!

I like to run mines at low settings and set a threshold for them to ramp up when it hits a certain temperature.
