just picked this board up, popped it in and everything works with 1x 4gb gskill ripjaws ddr3 1333, but when i pop in a second stick I get a debug error of 55, which is obviously memory not installed. System boots fine with a single stick in A1/A2 but any additional stick i get error 55. I've reseated CPU, checked for bent pins and don't see any, each individual stick works in both A slots, anyone have any ideas? My memory isn't on the "supported" list and wondering if that could be an issue.
Incompatible memory configuration. You need a stick in A1 and B1, rather than A1 and A2. For best performance you need identical sticks in A1/B1 and A2/B2. Basically don't use an odd number of memory chips and install the pairs into the correct sockets.
Starting at the CPU socket, the slots from left to right are A1, A2, B1, B2. So, using 2 identical memory chips, you would populate like so...
e.g. 4GB (A1), empty (A2), 4GB (B1), empty (B2)
WOL?
Wake-On-Lan, I believe.
1. Support UEFI PXE boot.
2. Modify VT-d Capability will be unsupported after flashing BIOS P2.50.
So an update, updated bios to 2.7, borrowed memory from a friend(gskill sniper 2x4gb 1600 ddr3 that ARE on memory compatibility list) I get same results, debug error 55 with 2 matching sticks in a1/b1 or a2/b2. Computer just restarts after sitting on error 55 and keeps going. Although I had success with 2 matching sticks in a1/a2 but obviously can't activate dual channel mode and that sucks. Anyone have any other ideas or should I submit an RMA? thanks for the help guys
I just built a system with the Extreme4 and an i5-3570k. I'm using the integrated video only. I get output from the VGA port, but not DVI. (I haven't tried HDMI.) This isn't just a Windows problem, the BIOS does the same thing. Any ideas about what's wrong?
UPDATE: I tried the HDMI port (via a HDMI-to-DVI cable) and no joy there either. I also noticed that there was a "IGPU support for multiple displays" option in the BIOS; I turned it on but it didn't change anything. The UEFI screen that shows a picture of the motherboard and lets you click on components does detect that there are cables plugged into the ports, however.
Does the cooler master evo 212 block the first ram slot for this board?
I'm bumping this to say that I RMA'd the board, and the replacement does exactly the same thing! Does ANYBODY have any idea what might be going on? My monitor works on DVI with other devices.
Possibly the CPU?
Hi all, new extreme4 owner here with a question regarding connections.

Which of the 4 sata3 ports is the best to connect an intel SSD to? Also, which is best to connect a BD-burner optical drive? Thanks.
you want your ssd plugged into the first sata3 port that is run off the intel chipset. the 2 grey ports next to the 4 black sata2 ports are the intel sata3 ports. plug it into the bottom port. you can plug regular hdd's and optical drives into the black sata2 ports.
the 2 grey ports on the end are run off a asmedia controller. i disabled them in the bios and my extreme4 posts + boots 5+ seconds faster. 3rd party controllers suck.
