having an Issue with booting up first time on this board (Killer x99m 3.1) . Dr debug giving error Code b0 tried clearing CMOS and inserting sticks one at a time same error.  the ram I am using is Trident Z 16GB Dual channel 3000mhz memory (F4-3000C15D-32GTZ) and not on the supported memory list. Is there a Bios setting or Firmware update I can do to use this ram? 

Thanks!

	I noticed recently that G.SKILL has an X99 and Z170 version of the Trident Z memory. Whether or not that makes a big difference, I don't know. You should be using the two DIMM slots that are the farthest away from the CPU socket, which are the two black slots to the far left and far right side of the board. Clear the CMOS after inserting the memory. Let it start at the default speed at least once, before using the XMP profile. There is a new UEFI version, version 1.20, that was released yesterday for your board, that might help with memory compatibility.
