Asrock X99 OC Formula Error Debug Code 19/b0

I recently acquired an oc formula (not the 3.1 one) and I get error code 19 which sometime (rarely) flashes to b0.
According to asrocks site both of these are ram errors and says to reseat the cpu and ram.

I am using an 5820k and 16GB (2x 8GB) of hyperx fury 2666 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16820104573 .
That ram model is pretty much the only one not on asrocks ram support list for this board.

Tried slot A1 only, same thing and the same for every other slot.
I tried clearing cmos both the rear button, the 2 pins, pulled battery, ect... and it still gives error 19.
I reseated the cpu, no pins bent or anything that looks weird in the socket, and still error 19.

Now here's were thing get interesting, with no ram installed, error 19 still pops up. Is that normal?

In any case I ordered this ram set which is on support list and was even shown in one of asrocks video (then one where they pour water/ice/ln2 on the mobo)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211954

Would this allow the board to boot?
Still concerned about that 19 error even with no ram which I believe is supposed to display error 53 instead.

According to Kingston the kit you have, HX426C15FBK2/16, is compatible with this board.

By chance is your MBs "Slow Mode Switch" and or "LN2 Mode Switch" mistakenly set to On?

No MB manufacturer has the wherewithal to test all memory, upon a MBs pre-release nor after initial production begins. The memory manufacturers themselves do. And to keep and maintain a User access able database via the web with which to check. Or that is if they want to sell their product, memory.


With a bright light and possibly a magnifying glass, age dependent :), look into each memory slot for pins that may be deformed and crossed electrically.

Failing  that, and you're 100% on the socket contacts, I'd RMA it back to the original PoP or ASRock.

Or, I know I know, that no add-on cards and or anything between the MB and case mountings are shorting.

An out of the case minimal build I guess is order at this point.
