However, G-Skill does not list the G-Skill f4-3600C17Q-16GVK memory as being compatible with the IX Extreme. Moreover, it works, but I get a random Q-Code 55 like you.

On my IX Extreme G-Skill f4-3600C17Q-16GVK is on the ASUS QVL and I have an I7-7700K installed with the latest Bios 1301. I am using G-Skill f4-3600C17Q-16GVK memory. I am using a different memory than yours though. Any other BIOS above 2202 randomly give Q-Code 55 out of nowhere after working so well. On my VIII Gene, VIII Formula, and VIII Extreme Assembly I found out the best BIOS was 2202 with an I7-6700K. With A2+B2 (with the exception of RAM speed) the system works perfectly, so I'm not sure what other issues are there.įorum turned my post into gibberish when I clicked save. It takes 10 seconds after that to boot into Windows. After that the LED is orange, the code gets to 99 and the Asus Logo appears. Side note: when I use A2+B2 the system takes a very long time to reach the Asus logo, the code are changing constantly (stays on code 72 for a long time) and the LED next to the CPU power cable is white. I cleared CMOS, removed the battery, nothing seems to be working. Removed ALL drives, all usb devices, replaced the cooler and CPU (twice), disabled all onboard devices, Asmedia USB 3.0, Intel LAN, Realtec Audio, nothing worked, same code 55 on A1, same constant reboots on B1. The system boots and shows 16 GB of RAM, but I don't have dual channel, so I'd like to fix the other two slots, or at least one of them. I used the first black slot (B1) instead and the system went on constant reboots. Used the second dimm on slot A1 and got the same problem.

I removed one of the dimms and got the same. 2 days ago the system refused to boot giving code 55. I've had this machine for 4 years with the exception of the EVO which I got 2 months ago. Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero Gaming Mainboard
