If I put any ram in slots 5-8 it boot cycles however slots 1-4 it works fine. It does this with verified good ram sticks in any of the slots 5-8 I am stumped this is my second x99 classified.... please help. Also I have a 5820k and yes I have the second CPU power plugged in and bios updated.

    How many sticks are you running?
     
    If you install 4 DIMMS in slots 1,3,5 and 7 you get a boot loop?

    Yes the only way it doesn't boot loop is if I have them installed in 1-4

    It sounds to me as if the CPU cooler might be too tight pushing down onto the motherboard. I hope there are no pins damaged. You might want to very carefully remove your CPU cooler, check the pins and make sure none are bent.
     
    The X99 manual says that odd slots must be populated first as the EVGA tech mentioned. What model and make of ram are you using?
     
    You could also try turning off XMP in the BIOs first and then set the voltage and timings manually.
