having an Issue with booting up first time on this board (Killer x99m 3.1) . Dr debug giving error Code b0 tried clearing CMOS and inserting sticks one at a time same error. the ram I am using is Trident Z 16GB Dual channel 3000mhz memory (F4-3000C15D-32GTZ) and not on the supported memory list. Is there a Bios setting or Firmware update I can do to use this ram?


Thanks!

Until updated the the X99 mobos are limited to 64GB (in8x8GB), as are the CPUs, there's been talk of a microcode update to allow use of 16GB sticks but haven't seen anything on a release. At present the 16GB DDR4 are pretty much limited to 1151 socket rigs

So apparently I need to Buy a 4 gig stick and use that to update the BIOS to 2.10 then should allow ram to register. but because it is 3000 mhz ill need to overclock the Cpu a bit to get it to work. I ordered the 4gb stick off amazon today should get it Friday ill post results!
