So I recently bought this motherboard since my old had some broken pins in it. I got every hooked up, booted it up, and it was posting code "4F". What does mean?

3F~4F Reserved.

What CPU and memory are you running? If you are running any thing higher then 2133 it could be the problem.

I'm running a i7 6700k and G.Skill Ripjaw V DDR4-2133 16GB (4x4GB)

I've already tried booting with one stick and without the video card.

Sorry not getting back to you, but have you tried it out of the case?

I know you said you are using memory 2133, but what I'm reading it has to do with ram. Have you look at the CPU socket to see if you have a bent pin.

The reason I said try outside the case it could be shorting out on something. I always first test every board on the box it comes in before I put it in the case.
