[catkicker]

Putting together a gaming rig for my son

i5-11600K LGA1200
Asus RTX2070S
Trident Z neo F4-4000C18D-
32GTZN
EVGA 1000 watt

On power up I get 5 beeps
DID A Clear CMOS
1)Tried swapping various memory sticks and slots.
2) swapped GPU’s
3) changed HDMI cable
4) reconnected all cables
Everything powers on, keyboard, fans board lights up.

Still 5 beeps no post

Any suggestions

Look in the manual.

I think five beeps is "video output not found".

Issue resolved..
Well I don’t mind telling on myself when I’m screwing up.
I was plugging display cable in to motherboard HDMI not in to the GPU.
🤷‍♂️😜

There aren't any beep codes in the manual. In fact, the manual doesn't have any troubleshooting information at all. I see that Gigabyte is still living up to their reputation for quality documentation...

Probably a stupid question, but have you tried to hook the monitor up to the integrated graphics port? The 590i Aorus Ultra does have one, according to the Gigabyte support site.

On some prior Gigabyte boards, the system would ignore a graphics card and default to the onboard graphics port. If a display wasn't plugged in to it and wasn't powered on, it would beep 5 times. That kind of sounds like what is happening here.

If it is in fact booting using the integrated graphics, then you just need to go into the BIOS and look for some settings to default the system to boot from the graphics card. Then, save the settings, restart, and you should be good to go.
