R6E + 9980XE code 00

[ayman_abm]

Dears,

I have R6E since October 2018 and never unboxed it or used it, I bought it and waited for the i9 9th Gen CPUz. Several Days ago I bought the 9980XE from Amazon, Installed it, and got CPU Code:00, so I thought its a BIOS issue, Since I have the board long Time ago and never used it before.

what Steps I did:

• Downloaded The BIOS from ASUS website 1704 and renamed the file to R6E.CAP
  
• Installed That BIOS using Flash Back
  

These Steps didn't help and still getting CODE 00. I found also in ASUS Site that BIOS 1603 Supports 9980XE, so I found that BIOS Online, and Flashed it to the 2nd BIOS, also didn't HELP.

I went to a computer shop where I bought This Board, and we used an OLD CPU Gen (7900x) and the board Booted Success, we Flashed again Both BIOSs using Flash Back from BIOS Settings (F2) and tried the 9980XE but same error code 00 appears.

We changed the VGA Card twice and also PSU , that didn't help.

Last thing we did, we tried this CPU on other Boards (Strix-E and Tuff) and these boards also couldn't start with this CPU.

Note: In My R6E pressing the Switch BIOS button on MB do nothing, I only could Switch between BIOSs using BIOS Settings Screen (F2), why this button not working ?

Is This Board Supporting This CPU 9980XE ? what shall I do Next ? BTW the CPU was Sealed in BOX and Brand NEW, can it be defected from Manufacturer and Sealed in BOX?

Please Help!!!!!

You have a Rampage VI Extreme, right?! The Asus product list says your board supports and I quote: "Intel Socket 2066 for
Core™ i9 X-Series Processors 79xx, 78xx Series." The Rampage VI Extreme Omega is the board that supports the whole family of 2066 processors.

Problem solved.

The R6E does support the 9980XE with the latest BIOS.

My mistake. The company ought to update their info then. I have the same CPU but have a newer Omega board, and have had no issues. I also got my CPU at Amazon.com.

I see I am wrong though regardless. My apologies. 😄

It's no problem but you should really only check the CPU support list rather than reading the product page on anything as it's hardly ever updated after the oringal.

Did you buy the cpu from AliExpress?

*i was able to get my 9980xe to post on the r6e *and then the r6e omega. The only issue i had with posting on the r6e was due to me inserting the m.2 poorly, on the omega it booted up on the first go no issues.
