Hi All, Assuming the both board power connectors are attached, which they were, Markfw recommended adjusting the memory voltage to 1.35 v. in the bios. I did so, and it booted up just fine! The Linux OS saw the new proc, so there was no need to re-install the OS. Memory is G.Skill Ripjaws V...

Mark- Many thanks the advice! I will have to implement these steps in a couple of weeks - I'm going out of town Tuesday, so for the time being I just re-installed CentOS 7 and put this machine back in our computational cluster. JK

After putting the 1950x back in, I can run Win 10, command center, geekbench etc. So..with the 2970WX in, and if I had the "wrong" DRAM, what kind of power-on activity would I expect to see? beeps or code #'s on the motherboard? (I don't even get that now..) JK

Perhaps this is a memory compatibility problem. I currently have Gskill F4-3200C14Q-64GVK installed, which is on the 1950x HCL, but is NOT on the 2979wx HCL on the MSI website. MSI Command Center app in Win 10 reports the DRAM frequency at 2133 MHz and 1.2100 V. JK

no post, no beeps. no damaged pins because I put the 1950x back in and it boots perfectly. JK

msi gaming pro carbon ran fine with 1950x proc. I installed 2970wx, and the BIOS screen will not even start! Re-installed 2970wx just to make sure it was seated. Did not change ram/HD/power cables. I have installed the latest BIOS ("c").
