would say ill have to send the mobo back or to asus or scan to get it flashed to recognise the processor will email them tonight but prob wont get a reply till Monday.
basically there is power going to the board but i cant get it to post getting and error code 0CAF when i connect another computer to its diagnostic port and power it on. have tried different ram clearing cmos etc but no luck so am thinking its down to the bios the board was shipped with not recognising the new processor
