hello Jacob
just one question have you tried cpu 4XXX series  on SRX
this cpu is C2 version normaly work in 4 cpu system , tested on 2 cpu  system ok before intel forum
nice job

Installed latest BIOS:
 

• Still post code AA when booting into Windows (BIOS 011 showed CPU temps but since then all I get is AA instead of CPU temps).
• Still unable to boot if memory installed in DIMM7 or DIMM8 (post code error b7 for DIMM7 and b0 for DIMM8).

 
Could someone let me know what these post codes actually mean for starters as the manual does not mention them. I'm doubting that this is a bad board seeing as atleast  other people are confirmed to have the same post code AA issue since 011 and unable to use DIMM7 and DIMM8 slots. (I have tried Corsair Dominator 4GB modules and Corsair XMS3 2Gb modules).
 
By the way, what about the supported memory list for C606 chipset? Don't see one of those on support pages.

Hello !
I flash new 15 beta and now all my hardware works great !
No BSOD or other bugs. (don't forget disable HT if use 2x8core cpu)
Now supported xmp profile #1 for my ram :)
 
My config:
2x2690 xeon e5
12x4gb Patriot 2000EL
2xGTX690 (slot 1 and 3)
psu EVGA sr2 1200W (all aux connectors plug on mb)
raid 3ware 9750 8i (slot 7)
 
Thank you.

Yes i think i can safely say that BIOS 15 has stopped the BSOD at start up and everything seems to be running stable at last.
 
My first boot today was greeted with two consecutive BSOD on startup using BIOS 14 but after flashing to BIOS 15 i’ve shut down completely and restarted over 10 times and not had one BSOD yet but will keep trying and report back..............nice one EVGA

Hello !

No BSOD or other bugs.
Thank you.

Same here! All is good with my system as well so far.  Thank you so so so much.  I knew I had faith in EVGA for a reason!

B0 and B1 stepping processors still do not work. On the next version can you make the BIOS recognize the microcode of B0 and B1 stepping processors?

Hope all goes well when i get my board back from RMA.
Cant wait to get the rig up and running again.
 

Why you said that we need to disable HT?

hi
dim's configuration , 12X on cpu0 et nothing by cpu1 ?
voltage dim's adjust not possible ?
cpu 's voltage adjust always at max 1,2V same cpu on classi 0,9V for idle mode , have you solution ?

One other thing, I select XMP profile 1 (or even try and set timings myself) but anything I set is ignored and I continue to run my memory at 1333mhz. Not to mention the inability to run memory in DIMM7 DIMM8

i did notice this problem also. i have the hyperx 2133 but its only running at 1333 even though i set it myself. not sure why it was doing it but found this odd also
 

I have BIOS v.011 and I want to update my BIOS on v.015
but after flashing bios it still on v.011
I tried to flashing on the firs v.013 after v.014 - nothing changed
I did everything by instruction

somebody can help me ?

Hello uhans_83.
 
Make bootable usb flash, boot from it and try flashing bios from ms-dos.

no_fate - thank You, it's working now !!!
 
Now I have probleme with code AA on matherboard - f..k !

Yep i and quite a few other have this problem ever since bios 013 but im RMAing my board this week as i keep getting b7 error codes and DIMM7 and 8 not working on cpu 0

I really also think that anyone who have that problem with socket 7 and 8 have an inherent problem (probably with some electrical connection that is flawed), and most likely should RMA it to EVGA - I was actually wondering when you were going to do it, and why you had not done it sooner.
 
Anyways, I hope it works out Sleinous.

Yep, much to my dismay i'm sending my board back. I assume I wont get one back for a while. Razor did you RMA in the EU or US?
 
I also hope it works out as this is going to be a big pain taking apart a system I spent many an hour putting together

I RMA to the US cost me alot to send tho back there from AUS. ohwell i got msg back by them so should have it back soon i could not wait so i went and got another 1 a week ago.
 
been working well with no problem so yeah ill just use the rma board as an extra system whats better than 1 sr-x system

Aww :/ ... can't you get a refund for the one you send back then - I mean, it is practically the same as cross-ship. that you have done your self - also, EVGA should be able to see, that you have 2 serials and so on and so forth --- would be the proper action to refund you the money for the first - but ah well - I dont know the exact procedure as per company-policy - but a company worker (any company) - should be able to see exactly what you have done, and maybe just maybe go a little beyond the regular rules - afterall, you had to suffer working with a bad board - with no wrong-doing on your part.
