For the non shutting down issue disable fast boot. The MB is working fine in all areas for me. I did not see any of these issues in testing.
Just out of interest 8pack do you actually play games and do a bit of encoding when you are testing out the bundles? Or do you just run a few benchmarks and see if it meets your approval
All my problems seemed to be when I was gaming or on posting

Yeah I ran Crysis 3, Sleeping Dogs and Bioshock Infinite. I also do Cinebench and Terregen encoding. For sure I test many applications.
wish i had your job lol. i got my replacement motherboard today but still having the same problem
it must be the ram giving me problems ill have to get on to customer services again tomorrow im sure they are sick of listening to me lol

You've gone from one 'O.K' board to a worse one, but the bundles good value.
There isn't enough time in the world to validate these kits for every CPU unconditionally - so user input might be needed. If the POST issues are memory training related you're better off posting in the overclocking section and hopefully others might help you.

I've had trouble since day one, never really got around to "playing" much, just took the instability etc as Windows 10, so sat down and tried to get to the bottom of it, have run Memtest overnight etc that's all good, PC won't boot at stock settings, and fails instantly with the Guaranteed 4.1 settings, Heres a shot @1.3 Vcore @ 4.1 which fails IBT instantly, @ 1.20 Vcore PC rebooted, Its due for an RMA but if you have any suggestions etc please let me know, as I dont want to ship this off and get it back proclaiming its the motherboard then etc ?
Aida64 will crash with a Hardware Stability test also. funnily enough RealBench 2.4 made a complete pass ok, scored 105648, IBT then passed a quick 10 passes, then immediately after that failed again, with a BSOD lol.
Also Project Cars will crash out all the time, I was under the impression it was just that game etc, seems all the niggles, BSOD's that I tried to attribute to Nvidia Drivers, or a particular hopefully have just been the CPU all along, as its not stable at any voltage from stock to 1.3v, I wont go any further voltage wise, unless its requested, its under water, 480, a 360 with 2x 980ti's, temps have been fantastic, 980's in the 50-56 range under full load, and the CPU gaming hovers around 43-50 etc

Stock settings being what?
Do you have XMP enabled?

Again, what is stock settings? This is why I hate bundles. Use something like HCI Memtest Pro for Windows to establish memory stability. Or Google Stress App from Linux Mint which can help narrow down POST problems.

Post problems are constant looping at the stock CPU voltage, thats with and without xmp enabled, although as soon as you enable xmp it shifts to 4.1 regardless, with the voltage on Auto it fails to boot, it also fails to boot at the bundles specified "guaranteed" settings, to get it to boot it needs 1.25v, even then it ends up failing any test in windows, or will just throw a random BSOD at you.
as stated prior, even with e Vcore @ 1.3 Aida64, IBT etc all fail, in a matter of seconds and minutes.

HCI failed in about 10 seconds lol, I hate this machine at present 
After more fiddling around ( great having some spare time ), I'm no longer getting errors in HCI if I run the ram @ 1.4v, ( that was with 12 instances open all doing 768 ) I'm just not sure if i'm warranted to do so, IBT passes, I'll leave it going for a few hours now should give an idea of stability as previously things went titsup in seconds/minutes.
I never felt the CPU was faulty, was never 100% sure on it, but the Tech support I spoke to didnt really care and just wanted to process the RMA.
Spoke to soon, PC rebooted itself, Im still no wiser if its memory or CPU related, I don't fancy sending back a CPU for it to be OK on OCUK's testbed, and then having to do the same with the RAM, 8pack have any input ?

So spent the day testing etc etc
This is with XMP enabled and the settings as per 8pack for 4.12ghz
Conclusion :
1: Memory in Single Channel, all sticks pass, no errors, 500% HCI and
40 passes of IBT, quick and dirty all 4 sticks tested.
2: Memory in Dual Channel, same as above, all 4 sticks tested.
3: Memory in Quad Channel, Gets to windows then an instant failure on the first program launched, followed by a BSOD
P.S. I then went back and re-tested Dual, no problems, and an instane crash again @ Quad.
Even in Quad channel and using the extra settings for VL4-VL6 etc and tinkering with voltages I can't get any stability from any program that stresses the CPU, if I up the Vcore and Ring Voltage, it lasts longer, but ultimately ends up crashing, Project cars used to crash almost instantly, but Diablo 3 on the other hand I can play without issue as it taxes nothing.
SO, what would you say is the culprit, the IMC on chip, or the motherboard, as its not possible to check the 3rd and 4th slots unless its quad.
P.S. no one remotely local with a 5820k or another set of DDR4 that I could borrow either to test.

For 8pack I was on the phone to your customer service team and they said I should leave a message on here to ask for you to give me a phone call to try and sort out my problems my invoice number is 4790108 you should be able to get my phone number from that according to customer service
I realise you are very busy and i don't want to annoy you lol but this is what the customer service guy asked for me to do my preferred method would be to ship it back to overclockers and let them find the fault as I'm now thinking it is a faulty cpu

Hope you get yours sorted garymcq23, They was not 100% what was causing mine on the phone after explaining all the stuff I've done etc, so they are having Mobo/CPU and RAM back, hopefully they can see what's causing it .
I also have problems getting 4.12 stable.
4ghz is perfect but once I go up one more on the multiplier it's just not stable.
Been very happy with performance at 4ghz so I've not gone to much trouble to find the cause.
I might have a try at 100bclk and ram at 2133 and work from there.
Just out of interest what psu are you guys using.
Mine is a corsair tx650watt which should be fine with a single 970gtx
Stability is great at 4ghz and non existent at 4.12 regardless of temperature
Windows boots ffo me but crashes rapidly.

Using a HX1200i ( overkill I know, have 2 980ti's also )
But Your 650 watt is fine, and shouldnt be the trouble out of interest, try using 2 sticks as per the diagram in the manual and leaving memory on xmp and use 8packs settings etc, and see what its like in dual channel.
thanks mate hopefully i can get to the bottom of it. i have already had the motherboard replaced but still having the same problem the last time i phoned customers service they did not seem to want to take the bundle back to test it out the guy on the phone was more a less saying its 8packs problem let him sort it out which i found very strange.

I was told something similar, I had "has 8pack replied on the forums and told you what to do etc.", pass the buck
they told me that he would ring me if i left a message on here. ill leave it till tomorrow and give them a ring back. i really dont see what he can do without looking at it in person a it wont boot with stock settings.
i know that my psu is good so it has to be the cpu, motherboard or ram. memtest saying the ram is all good, ive had the motherboard replaced so it must be the cpu.
ether way i think they should just take the whole lot back and test it out for themselves and let me know what is faulty
