Jun 15, 2016 273 51 28 Hi there, I am considering buying this motherboard on eBay which is listed as "for parts or not working" (so no warranty nor returns). The seller says that he tried it with a Xeon 1650 and one non ECC 16GB module and it gave him B0 error code. With the same CPU and no RAM it gave him B2. So he couldn't even get into the BIOS. He also says he doesn't have any ECC RAM to check the motherboad (which is strange). Do you guys think that with proper memory it will work, or these error codes don't have anything to do with that? Thanks M

Mar 6, 2014 6,707 1,818 113 Its an interesting offer, cheap for a dual board. Not sure its legit, given that the seller bought from a well known Japanese CPU dealer and already sold some Xeons it sounds unlikely that he shouldn't have some ECC memory to check.

May 12, 2013 2,684 1,535 113 I am not familiar with EU price for dual CPU board. In US, we could picked up SuperMicro or ASUS dual v3/v4 dual CPU board for not much more than $200 USD.

Exactly, that's what I thought! It seems that he has sold many workstation/server components, so it's quite suspicious that ha can't get hands one one ECC memory module in order to check this quite expensive motherboard. T

In EU the basic dual CPU V3/V4 motherboards are sold for 300EUR more or less. But this is a premium board, it should cost much more than that. T

Mar 6, 2014 6,707 1,818 113 Yeah my fault, sorry. Got it for 110 which made it a too good deal to pass up - if it works. Will let you know if it does or not. Gathering boards with lots of x16 slots for EDR & GPUs atm thats why I took it. Last edited: Oct 28, 2018 T

Mar 6, 2014 6,707 1,818 113 So board arrived today, looks good physically. Initial attempts fail with B7, tried CMOS reset no go, will have to start digging

Mar 6, 2014 6,707 1,818 113 When testing with only 1 module I got at the previously mentioned B2 error code, so I don't think that the 'I don't have ECC Ram' story is true ... However I inspected the cpu pins and found this - very small issue, but looks like the entire pin is missing...

Mar 6, 2014 6,707 1,818 113 So still not sure this is the cause, but tried everything else. Contacted Asus support also, all attempts failed. It actually is in warranty, but no original invoice and what they call "Customer Induced Damage" means I'll have to pay for repair. So I am going to send it in and see whether they can fix it. Seller accepted a partial refund, so at least the total cost will still be manageable or the total loss is not as high as it could have been. We will see
