Perhaps your CPU socket was damaged during all those CPU and board swaps. Or the CPU just needs to be reseated because one of the tiny spring maybe is not correctly making contact (I heard of this mostly regarding large server cpus with ~4000 pins but this might also happen on normal cpus)...

New ASUS W680 ACE BIOS Update v2802 is out, date according to website: 2023-10-06, date of CAP file in zip: 2023-09-27 Seems like 14th Gen Raptor Lake Refresh will also be supported on the W680 ("Update Microcode for next-gen Intel Processors"). Props to ASUS for that. PRO WS W680-ACE BIOS 2802...

Update: It was a dead 13700K cpu. I was lead astray by the board not booting with the Celeron G6900, but the replacement board did also not boot (= quickly turns off after powering on) with either the G69000 or the 13700K and a replacement 13700K booted in both the original board and the...

Well, I guess I have to take this back. The W680-ACE has completely died after less than 5 weeks in use. I had one Proxmox crash on April 26th while copying a large amount of data from an USB 3.0 harddisk that I had directly passed-through to a guest. pcieport 0000:00:1c.0: AER: Uncorrected...

Are you talking about the KSM48E40BD8KM-32HM modules? Are you using the first release BIOS 0203 or have you updated to 2305? What CPU are you using? I have upgraded today from 2x32GB Kingston to 4x32GB Kingston and was expecting memory speeds to drop to 4400MHz (the official 2DPC speed for...

Only because of virtualization. I'm pretty sure even the latest VMware ESXi version refuses to boot on ADL/RPL CPUs if different cores are present. I'm using ProxMox which is more tolerant as far as I know, but I'm really skeptical if it is capable of intelligently assigning the right cores to...

I've built an ASUS Pro WS W680-ACE system last night with 2x KSM48E40BD8KM-32HM 32GB ECC and a 13700K. I installed Windows to update the ME Firmware and checked ECC, Windows reported ECC status "5" which is good AFAIK. And of course I updated the BIOS to 2305. After the BIOS Update & settings...
