Hello everybody, i need help with my new build before my 30 day return period is up, only 2 weeks left :( Have it paired with a intel i7 5820k and Gskill F4-3200C16D2-16TZB ram. I know the ram isn't listed on the support page but the boot cycle is all wrong and should give me a memory trouble code or something. After pressing the power button (on motherboard) the cpu fan starts to spin, for about 5 seconds then hear a click and the motherboard / power supply reset over and over (sounds like the circuit overload protection). The trouble shooting code on the motherboard flashes "C" a few times during the startup cycle. I have tried a different (also new) power supply with the same results, also tried to loosen the cpu fan mount. Feel like the motherboard was DOA, thank you for any help!

    Memory issues can cause this. If I understand you correctly, you get power on but you have a 'clicking' that repeats about every second, right? Have you tried with a single stick of RAM?
