Will the machine POST at all, is it just not booting past the Motherboard Vendor logo, or is it completely nothing?

If you can get into the BIOS, can you set everything to default settings?

Did you have Load-Line Calibration and other voltage changing options disabled?

Try a different processor.

OP your check the error code via the beeps. Every motherboard has that which is what helps you understand what's actually wrong. Also try clearing the CMOS if you haven't and try booting up with a single stick of RAM.

Agree with both of these, The RAM could be FUBAR, try with any 1 stick, then if that doesn't work, try with the others, 1 at a time.

Clearing the CMOS by unplugging the computer, push and hold the power button, then remove the CMOS battery, and let it sit for 5 minutes, put the battery back in, plug it in, and pray lol

As an ASUS board, does it have the OC direct USB which lets you overclock from another machine? This special port can also let you view POST error codes if there are no beeps.

return it if you can, get another one

it's not like you can actually repair any damage on those things

Just FYI, I've killed 2 Asus X99-A boards before switching to my current MSI Tomahawk which has been enormously more stable for me. The second Asus board took a 5820k with it when part of the VRM area popped. Miraculously Asus took one of the boards as an RMA and sent me a new one which I'll be hanging on to until 2011-v3 Xeons start hitting the used market cheap. Just thought I would mention I've seen nothing but trouble with that model of motherboard personally and they have a documented history of overvolting CPU's at startup sometimes causing damage. The chip could have died for another reason but it is possible the board took a sacrifice.

If the system does work with a different i7 or Xeon in the socket I would look at either returning or RMA'ing your 6800k. If for some reason neither option works out keep in mind the 5820k is a bit cheaper (especially used) and is nearly precisely the same thing you already have. Haswell tends to clock a little higher than Broadwell but with slightly lower IPC so it's a wash on performance, but if the price is lower it might be something to consider.

RMA it and say nothing about overclocking lol
