Maximus Iv extreme-z post error F2/2E

[Fax2u]

Yesterday I bought that awesome board with the i7-3770k ivy bridge and 16 gigs of corsair ram 1600mhz (4x4)
and I have 400 watt psu (buying a new 800 watt soon) and the Gtx 470 (corsair H100 cooling)

when I started the board for the first time it only have the psu gtx470 core and ram pluged in (normal right?)

and an error code appeared on the debugging led's. It was F2 I restarded a few times and then it showed 2E

I left it runing on 2E for half an hour (config so I thought it takes time)

The board was frozen so I restarted And then F2 appeard again...

Cleard Cmos,Reseted the board(took the battery out for 15 sec) and reseted overclock (even that I didn't do any)

and now every time I boot its stuck on F2 and I gave It like 6-7 hours to be on F2
"Recovery Progress Codes F2 - Recovery process started"

its a progress So I gave it time... alot of time.....

can someome help me please?

Fax2u, i'm glad to hear that your system is getting closer and closer to the point when you will be 100% satisfied with it! Actually, you may be already there... If your system is working now, I would suggest you to start monitoring the temperatures - and post some results here too...

The thermal paste you have now may not be so bad... so, if you're temps are fine - you don't need to change it now...

Let us know the temps, and maybe would be a good idea to repost your system's specs (or just put it in your signature) - then we will see what's the best move! :cool:

IF you want some hair I can give you... I have too much XD

Finally almost done with this hell computer...

Tsk tsk mocking the old and bald with your story of much hair. I too am shiny on top and what long hair I have (about 1 cm) is grey and found in my beard.

Thanks for the feed back Fax2u

And just something wired That I need to tell you... I can't overclock my ram Even by one click ...

If its 9-9-9-24-2

At 8-9-9-24-2 it wont boot
But at 9-9-9-24-1 it will

Tightening the latencies is not classed as overclocking,just running at tighter timings.changing the cas will not make that much difference,but you will probably need more voltage to run at tighter latencies.

[Fax2u]

like 1.6-7 volt ?

and also with the cpu to run more multipyer I need to increase voltage?

and what PCH voltage does?

This turnd into overclocking thread XD Thanks for the help Btw...
