well I got my ninja today and thankfully it fit in my centurion. I installed it without removing the mobo from the case because I was quite lazy. Anyhow I had regular post before but it seems now I get 2 quick beeps. did i anger the memory when I installed the sink? The fan (nexus, wow do they know what they are doing!)) is just about touching the memory but I dont see how that could really hurt it. What can i do to figure out whats wrong? Heres a pic of the beast:

damn that thing is big! i hope its not bending your mobo. beeps mean something is unhappy. either ram isn't seated right or possibly video card. you may have banged it installing that giant. reseat both and see if it helps.

Lay the case on its side (so the cooler is upright) and see if that fixes the problem. If it is, then the weight of the cooler is bending the board so something isn't connecting right.

hmmm, ok well I tried lying it on its side and when that didnt work I swapped the ram positions and reseated the video card....still have 2 beeps on startup....hope I didnt hurt the mobo or something

no problems in windows so far though...

Two Beeps is a POST/CMOS Error which means that some component is not being recognized or is damaged.

You are getting two beeps, then post and you then move into Windows?

well first I get the asus p4p800 splash screen, then it does that ide scan thing which i dunno how to disable then when its done that it does the 2 beeps and loads windows...nothing has changed from before aside from the beeps

I would reset the BIOS and allow the BIOS to re-enumerate all the components. Do you have a DVD/CD on your IDE controller?

Go into your boot settings and disable "Boot Logo". When the system boots up you can then press the "Pause" key when you hear the beeps. What do you see on the display at that time?

yea I have a dvd on the ide...is that why it goes through its scan thing?

will try reseting and doing the pause thing...

Yes, you can however go into:

Onboard Device Configuration > IDE Function Setup > and disable the controller that is not being used. Primary or Secondary.

If you are not using RAID you can also:

Onboard Device Configuration > NVRAID Configuration > RAID Enable and disable it

ok well loading defaults fixed the beeps, but that built in babe post reporter is telling me my cpu fan failed...liar!!! off she goes...

will try the ide things thanks a bunch ropey!!!

The 2 beeps is from nothing being plug into the CPU fan Socket.

Double check to see where you plug the fan into.

 

[Repo-mtl]

well the nexus is plugged into the cpu fan plug and its spinning and asus probe and speedfan both detect it . Strange though if that is the case since the double beep stopped but the speech reported still says cpu fan failed...

 

[pbasil1]

maybe plug the fan on the ninja into a different plug, then plug a different case fan into the cpu fan plug on the mobo...

 

[Ropey]

You can disable the fan detect in the BIOS as well. Good to hear that you are rid of the annoying beeps.

yea, its no biggie I'll just disable it. Now all I need to do is get some better memory for OCing that celey and a better gpu with a quiet fan since the 4600 is on its 3rd fan and its the noisiest one!

thanks for all the help guys!
