Hi,
I've built my pc but now i can't get it to post. I have an iextreme 6/3.1 mobo, 2 x GTX 1080, i7 6800K and 32GB RAM.
The RAM ive tried it GSkillz DDR4 3200Mhz (4 x 8GB) and also Corsair DDR4 2400Mhz.

The board debugger shows error code 53 if no RAM is inserted and 67 (or b7) if I insert any of the RAM.
Ive tried putting 4 sticks in the A1, B1, C1 and D1 slots and also, just having one in the A1 slot.

Ive run out of ideas and don't know what else to try, can anyone think of anything else.

My system is fully liquid cooled so I'm kind of restricted in changing too much without draining it and tearing it down.

The error messages point to a memory error but, idk what else to try.

thanks,
mango

Ouch, the liquid cooling is all in already.

This is why we breadboard before adding a custom loop Cry

If you are using flex tubing then you should be able to pull one of the GPUs and hold it away from the board while you test. Try with 1 gpu and a single RAM module. Move the RAM module from a1 to a2 to b1 etc and try all the slots. I have often seen particular RAM banks not work for one reason or another (usually improperly seated CPU).

I know this is probably a silly question but have you tried clearing CMOS? You would be surprised how often this fixes post issues.

I just noticed your CPU is the i7 6800k. The problem could be as simple as your board does not have the correct BIOS version to support it. 

You will need BIOS 3.0 or later to support the 6800k. Check the sticker on your BIOS chips for what version you have. If it is not 3.0 or higher you can either install a supported CPU (Haswell) and update the BIOS or, if you don't have access to a Haswell 2011 CPU you can purchase a new BIOS chip from ASRock preflashed with the BIOS version of your choice.

Visit the support page for more info.

Hi,
I'm not sure where to look for the bios version. On the actual chip, it says P1.00, is this the bios version do y0u think?

Ok, after reading more about it, im almost certain the the problem is the bios version.
Thank-you for pointing that out, I was losing the will to carry on lol :)

Ok, so now to sort it, I don't think I have access to another processor and the replacement chip seems only available in north America, I'm in the UK.

Do you have any other suggestions for me either getting the chip or updating bios?
there must be a chip I can get my hands on I'm sure.

thanks again though, you've perked me up a little now :)

Here is the supported CPU list for your board. The easiest way to sort it would be to borrow a chip that is supported on "all" BIOS versions. Alternatively you could take the system in to a Tech shop and ask them to flash the BIOS for you, it will likely be fairly costly though as they will probably bill you at least an hour's labor.

Yeah, im going to try my local store tomorrow, better than me changing the chip or buying a cpu.
Can't hurt to ask.

I can drain the loop, thats no prob, idk if theyll be able to flash without me re-filling or if they can do it, ill give them a call and ask.

Once again, thank-you for your help, im back on track again now :)

This may be a silly question but... is the chip on the board soldered or is it just push in?
Thanks.

With the exception of "CPU onboard" motherboards from ASRock all new motherboards use a socketed BIOS as a safety feature to allow users to recover from bad BIOS flashes.
