Tomorrow I will try to update the BIOS over the ACCE ETH.

Holy water from Lourdes is already prepared.

Did not work, the client board needs to have an agent already deployed to throw a BIOS over the ETH  :-DD  :horse:

More details...

Anyway now I am pretty convinced it is a old BIOS topic, I ordered a AMD Ryzen 3 3200G on Amazon that I will return 5 minutes later after the BIOS is upgraded.

BTW ASUS is not even trying, I would have put at least a big * on everywhere for the not supported newer CPUs

AMD AM4 socket: Ready for AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series*

*Ready it does not mean it will work, you will need to upgrade the BIOS. By the way with a newer processor installed on this board, the Pro WS X570-ACE will not boot and you will not able to upgrade the BIOS. You could use our USB BIOS FlashBack® technology but this board it not supporting it. This means you are stuck with a not booting brick.
Yes we at ASUS are certified monkeys and do not know how to sell motherboards, we of course don't care if our customers will be grounded in front of a black screen with a newer processor on our board. We simply don't want to have more customer in the future. ASUS wants to decrease its income because designing motherboards and selling them is a boring a frustrating process. It sucks.
ASUS just wants to file for bankruptcy as faster as possible, and to not provide a salary to anyone anymore. After that the ASUS employees will finally just stay in the jungle and eat bananas all day long.
Please support us and avoid buying ASUS products. We don't want your money, if you agree with our future company vision please send us bananas.
If there are still money left will will pay for them, if not please consider a donation, of bananas of course.

Will then the outside world get notified it such a correction on the bus interface happened?

I assume some sort of status word is updated internally and made available to the memory controller on demand, but I could not find it in the specifications.  Scrubbing would require the memory controller to write that word back.

The reason that the ECC is done in the bus interface and not when loading a DRAM row is that the later would require too much power.

It works, but I lost a year of life plus a kidney.

Removed everything, installed the 3200G. POST finally ok, BIOS 4201 on the effing MB.
Upgraded to 4402.

Swapped back the ebay used 5900X, installed a good known graphics card.
NOTHING LED VGA STUCK ON.

Just because it was on my desk, I swapped the 5900X with the brand new 5950X.
Guess what, now that bastard boots.

Why on earth the boot error VGA LED is on and if I swap the CPU it boots fine? Thanks ASUS to point me in the wrong direction.

I am so wasted I will now keep the 5950X and sell for parts the 5900X at loss.

Currently hammering the 64GB ECC with memtest86, next step Win10 check if everything is recognized okay and the prime95 as final test.

Wish me luck.... I feel like I am painting without eyes.

 :popcorn:

Zucca:
After
- 12 pass tests with memtest86
- 24h of prime95
- about 30min of 3d furmark
- some other GPU memory checks

I declare my new machine stable and ready to host arch linux.
