Error Code 55 Hero Board help

[dla911]

Hi all,

I have had nothing but problems with this board this time around building a computer.

No matter what I do I keep getting Error Code 55 on the board. I have tried New ram, Even tried without a cooler on the cpu. Just will not get passed Code 55.

Bad board?

Any help would be grateful.

1. Reseat your modules.

2. Loosen the screws for your heatsink a little.

Report back your results.

Still showing me Error Code 55

Have you inspected the CPU socket for bent or broken pins?

[dla911]

Yes nothing is Bent or broken at all

Hello dla911

Have you tried your sticks in the other two slots?

I really hope ASUS or Intel take a look into this seriously some day ... i have seen this issue quite often on Skylake builds. I too suffer from it and i'm running my memory in single channel mode 😞

Hello

With default settings most Q-Code 55 issues are the result of memory timings being to aggressive for the memory being used with the particular CPU's IMC. Set Maximus Tweak to Mode 1.
