Unlike my other adventures, I plan on sticking this one out to either I'm defeated or this build is.
A very kind soul has passed me his EVGA SR-2, two x5680s, and 12 gigaboops. It was loved, water-cooled, and now being a real pain in my rear.
I don't have proper coolers so I'm using a couple heatsinks and fans to use as troubleshooting since as soon as this sucker gets turned on it's an instant FF code. (Fully functioning my @$$ EVGA)
I tried removing CPU 2, ram, turned off all PCI slots, tried one stick, two stick, blue sticks, swapped CPU power cables (psu works, was just using it) and currently letting it sit with the cmos battery out.
If anyone can chime in on this thing that would be great. If it turns up to be SOL it's gonna be wall mounted and proudly shown to any poor soul who walks into my home.
UPDATE: The CPU jumpers were missing. Now we're power cycling before we can get into the bios with the codes

The reset button keeps going off during this, hmm..
PROGRESS!
Final update for tonight: It works!
My mistake was losing the manual and not checking the ram slots. Turned out red before black and now it's posting with a Windows install going. The entire time it didn't want to do anything was a couple missing jumpers. Now to get coolers!
