Hi all, I just recently got a custom built PC with this MOBO, I've just noticed I have a blinking red LED and error code 30, so I went ahead and restarted my Pc and the error code is gone and now it is blank but the LED is still flashing. Also, computer is running fine for the most part, all installed RAM is showing up correctly. Temps are all fine during prolonged gaming periods...please let me know as this i have just received this in the mail a day ago. Also of note is I get 1 beep on boot up that comes directly from the Motherboard. It seemingly boots just fine though.

Parts are:

I7 7700k with Asetek 550LC
Asus Dual fan GTX 1070
16GB 3000 MHz ADATA XPG z1
512 GB intel 600p
1TB WD HDD


Are you sure the red LED is blinking? Where is that LED on the board? Is that LED near the two digit LCD display?

Your board (I assume a Z270 Gaming K6) has two BIOS chips, each one has a small red LED indicator that shows which BIOS chip is being used, the main or backup. It does not indicate an error or problem.

Do you know that this board has the AURA RGB LED feature, and has LEDs all over the board? Maybe it is disabled in the BIOS if you don't have all kinds of lights showing up on your board. Or it could be just an AURA LED.

If you get one beep from the board, that means POST completed fine, and if the PC then boots Windows, you are fine. If the PC was running fine when you noticed the code on the display, it did not mean anything.

Hi, really appreciate the answer...I have noticed the error code 30 shows up after starting out of sleep mode accompanied by one beep, but again...all is running fine and dandy. But if I just start the computer from shutdown it passes all codes and beeps once and boots perfectly normal as well. But is it of concern that it beeps out of sleep as well and is accompanied by error code 30 even though things are running just fine? Again...thanks and hopefully you have good news for me as I'm worried as all get out over this.

Also the led that is flashing is the one behind the installed video card in the upper PCIE slot to answer your question.

Intel Motherboards : Can I flash my X99 Xtreme 3 to AC'97?

AC'97 is not supported by your board's audio chip, and your PC case would need to have an AC'97 connector on it if the board's audio chip supported AC'97.

AC'97 is an old audio connection protocol, not used on new boards for a while now. New PC cases don't even have an AC'97 connector on the front panel audio cable. Whomever told you, you need AC'97 had no idea what they were talking about.

Have you installed you board's audio software, and configured the microphone and headset inputs in it?

Also, the Windows Sound feature in Control Panel should at least be checked, and possibly configured.

If none of that works, as said above, your headset may simply be broken. Usually it is the micro-cable into the connectors.

Parsec and I both have the same board as you. I have not seen any LEDs in that region of the board, flashing or otherwise. Are you sure it isn't just the NIC port lights or maybe a light on your GPU?

That or your board is mounted in an inverted case?

The 2 LEDs boxed in yellow at the bottom right of the board are BIOS indicator LEDs that tell you which of the 2 BIOS chips is in use. One of these will be on all the time, this is normal. On the IO Armor I have indicated the location of the LAN indicator LEDs, these can be seen from inside the case in some situations (like mine) even though they are on the rear IO shield. 

Are any of these the LED you are referring to?


Code 30 is a memory related error, if the system is waking from sleep and functioning normally I wouldn't worry about it. It is most likely that the system did not complete a memory test before the system woke. The fact that it does not happen from cold boot means your RAM is working fine but something is happening at wake that is preventing proper memory testing prior to handing off to the OS. I would keep an eye on it on cold boots and make sure it doesn't start happening there, I doubt it will but it's good to be safe. If it does then there is likely an issue with your RAM, if not it is likely just a bug. 200 series boards are still very new and BIOS updates/fixes are still under way. Fortunately most of these fixes are to do with trivial bugs.

And no, I can confirm that the light that is flashing is not the BIOS light...I see that now right next to Dr Debug Code. The flashing is coming from behind that large plastic piece (the one that says FATALITY ASROCK) above the BIOS light and below the installed RAM modules.

[URL=][/URL]I do have a RGB LED strip installed but I have turned them off with the remote that it came with...the other light still persists in an almost pulsating type rhythm. Big Deal or nah?

Wardog - I added a small fan onto the VRM and then monitored the temperatures under load and they are exactly the same as before.
It has been on for nearly 8 hrs under load without any crashes so maybe I don't need to worry about the temperature as the most important thing is it isn't crashing anymore Image may be NSFW.

Good!

Seems re-arranging the fans with a understanding of the VRM needs in mind solved it for you.

Ah, now I know the one you are talking about, it is one of the board's RGB LEDs under the PCH (chipset) heatsink. One of them is a little less covered by the heatsink and can glare a little. 

Install the "ASRock RGB LED" app from your product download page:

http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20Z270%20Gaming%20K6/index.asp?cat=#osW1064     (copy paste link)

It is toward the bottom of the list.

This app will allow you to configure your board's RGB LEDs, some will remain on like the BIOS indicator and power and reset buttons on the top right edge but the rest you can fully configure, color, brightness, flashing patterns etc.

The pulsing is the factory default.

Oh my. Thanks for all the help, I will try that...and as for the error code 30...you don't think it's a concern in my particular case?

Lol, I did as you suggested and that worked...you have no idea how scared I was that something was wonky. (I have really awful luck with this kind of stuff, so I assumed the worst). As for the Error Code 30 after sleep mode, I am still a bit concerned about it, but somewhat relieved by what you said earlier...how concerned should I be though? Thank you very much for all your help tonight...I didn't think anyone would answer me.

Honestly with the amount of bugs we saw with the 100 series boards to do with sleep I wouldn't worry about it. I prefer setting my system to shut down rather than sleep, with the kind of boot times we see today I really don't see the point of sleep at all anymore. I generally disable it.

If you are using windows 8/8.1 or 10 you can type "Power Plan" in your search box and click "choose a power plan" then click "change plan settings" and set sleep to "never".

Also, when you do shut down the system it is best for the system if you do not turn off power from the outlet. It will extend your system's lifespan as it is far less stressful on the power supply and motherboard. The only time I ever switch off at the wall (and unplug) is when there is a lightning storm or I will be away for an extended period. 

The Z270 Gaming K6 is a brilliant board, I have been using mine for several months now and it has been fantastic.

I just tested the sleep situation you mentioned and my board also shows a 30 code on the debug display when it wakes.

It is a bug, I wouldn't worry about it. I have stressed this system to hell and back and used it for months without a single issue. I will bring up the bug with Tech Support but it isn't something that will damage your system or indicate a problem. It likely is just a glitch in the debug system of the board Image may be NSFW.

Ah man, thanks an absolute sh*t ton man. I was having a heart attack over here, thank you over and over again! You have a wonderful night and I truly do appreciate your help and advice...I knew the board was good as I have done an intense amount of studying before I ordered all the parts for this custom build and this seemed like the best fit for what I wanted now and for the foreseeable future...glad it appears to be a bug. My mind feels much better hahahaha...and boot times are insane man with this Intel 600P...literally seconds...feels so nice to the standard 7200RPM HDD's.

Does your MOBO also beep on startup from sleep and shutdown?

It does. I disconnect my PC speaker usually as I only ever use it when there is a problem I need to resolve. I just tested it now and can confirm the same behavior.

Intel Motherboards : Fatal1ty Z97 Killer what DDR3 LP

Hi,I have a question:

I already have a set of memory chips:

RipjawsX G.SKILL DDR3 2133MHz CL9 2x4GB [F3-17000CL9D-8GBXM]

and I want to buy two more unfortunately, the cooling of the bone is too high - it does not fit, in one slot at the CPU.
Seeking a memory with a low profile, I found this:

G.Skill DDR3 8GB (4GBx2) 2133MHz, CL9, Ares LowProfile Dual (F3-2133C9D-8GAB)

only in my motherboard specifications of this memory is not - does that mean that it will not move on this motherboard?In every store I hear "should match" but I want to be sure.

Thank you.


Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer
Processor: Intel Core i5 4690K

Intel Motherboards : Intel Clock Issue C2550D4I C2750D4I rma process ?

Author: sharky1337
Subject: Intel Clock Issue C2550D4I C2750D4I rma process ?
Posted: 08 Mar 2017 at 7:14pm

Hello supporters,

I'm using a asrock C2550D4I mainboard for my homeserver. In January Intel announced a filed notice which says that there is a clock flaw with the C2000 series.

Another source says C2550 C2750 are affected by that bug. 

What does asrock do ? Is there a rma process to get a new one ? Or Do I have to wait until it fails ? 

best regards, sebastian
