What colour slots are you using? try the other pair.
i was using the black slots. Moved them to the reds, and that fixed the problem. Thanks.

The red slots seem to work better
BIOS F8l seems to be ok so far.
I just started my build today. I installed Win10 from bootable USB and then started downloading the various drivers and get the exact same fatal error. Ive fkashed to bios F7 and tried the drivers on the CD and the ones from Gigabytes website withe the exact same fatal error.
I really dont wsnt to reinstall windows. Do I need these drivers. Ive no excamations in device manager and everything else seams fine
Do you have any advice
Cheers

You dont need ME, but you two must have done something odd for it not to install.
In other news I've bought these
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £38.99
(includes shipping: £0.00)
Will see if the board will post at XMP.
And at that price I doubt I will lose much money selling on.

Im not sure what went wrong. I looked on the internet and quite a few people have had the same problem.
I ended up reinstslling windows 10 but this time I made sure I loaded ME first before any other drivers including LAN drivers and it installed without error.
Just installing all the other stuff now. I havnt put the graphics card in yet i just hope the titan X fits in the Corsair 450D case . Im sure it will.
Then i need to look at overclocking.
On 4.2ghz with 115i cooling im getting 75 deg c over the cores. Does this sound about right?

75c in what use? cinebench/3dmark/realbench etc?
Ack typing on tablet and thinking faster than typing. The top option in Prime 95 for max heat and little ram.
The 75 deg was all stock settings using corsair 115i cooler and the grizzly thermal paste. I think the fan speed was set at balanced in the corsair link software
Im a bit out of things regarding the progs to use these days. What is the best stress tester these days to test stabilty and heat?
Thanks again

Have a look at the previous page for my post and try xtu. I get 75 degrees at 4.7ghz with 1.430v using the same cooler
Should give you a decent comparison

XMP working with the updated BIOS. Now I gotta remember my OC settings, shoulda recorded them!
Btw, check out these new cables just released. Match our board perfectly

I would expect that ram to work 100%.
Well my 3866MHz kit is here now.
Will it work or wont it?

I've had this board a couple of weeks now and I've a few issues hopefully someone can help with (I'm running an i7 6700k and 16gb Corsair vengeance ram, everything running at stock speed):
1) my pc will randomly reboot when idle, i've changed all the power management options so it shouldn't shut anything but the display down, but at random intervals the whole thing reboots. Event viewer shows a couple of messages when it recovers:
"The previous system shutdown at 16:42:02 on 22/06/2016 was unexpected."
"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
It's never done this when in use, only after being left idle for a while.
2) The hard drive is forever powering down and back up. I've always been able to hear the click when it powered up on my old cpu/board but now i hear it click on and off sometimes every few seconds. It's like it's desperate to go into sleep mode, as mentioned above the power option is set to never put the drive to sleep.
3) Possibly connected to the above, sometimes on boot the hard drive isn't visible (the boot SSD always is though, so far). This is happening with the drive in several different ports with different sata and power cables. Drive works fine in another machine.
I also had the Intel Management Engine install problem that a few people have had, but I've discovered this isn't actually an issue, Windows Update will install this for you, naturally without telling you, and if it does so before you get around to installing it yourself the manual install will fail, as it won't downgrade by default. If you get the install error check Device Manager/System Devices, you'll probably find a newer version of Intel Management Engine has been installed automatically.
