So I used to be a big Asus fan and then switched over to ASrock.
So with the launch of Ivy E I decided I am gonna grab Asus Rampage IV Gene boards and build 2 Monster M-Atx machines.
Unfortunately I got rid of my 3930K so I only had a 4820K and a 4960X to update the bios.
As you guys know you can't use Ivy E chips to update the bios. Anyway I followed Asus's new technique to update the bios without the cpu in and it didn't work. So decided to take it to my local Asus offices. The tech there then proceeded to update both boards, boards worked perfect with his 3820, so after updating the bios, he popped in the 4960X, board won't boot, no lights, no nothing. So took the chip out and popped the 3820 back in and the board was still dead, so he tried with the 2nd board and the exact same thing happened. He then took one from their own stock and the same thing happened. So 3 dead boards...
So pissed right now...Now we have to wait for a response from Asus HQ...
