Have questions about the ASUS X99 Deluxe II? I'm here to assist.
Hello everyone, I'm setting up a PC and wanted to know if the X99 Deluxe II motherboard can run without installing a CPU. I'm curious since I haven't used this board before—it shows five processors next to the first PCIe slot. I'm also not getting any video signal, and I've tried connecting a mouse, RAM, and an RTX 3000 but nothing works. I also tested with another GPU, but it didn't help. Please advise if this setup is possible without a CPU and how I can proceed. Best wishes, Marcus
It needs a dedicated GPU, none of the X99 models include iGPUs. It correctly switches through the POST codes (or LEDs if you lack a readout)?
I misunderstood your message. You're asking about whether the number of processors listed on the PCIe side counts as a CPU, and you want clarification about your setup. No code was returned—perhaps the PC isn’t running properly or you haven’t installed anything yet. Let me know how you'd like to proceed!
Eleven Asus motherboards support the RTX A5000 series graphics cards. GPU availability and specs are listed below with detailed information on power consumption, architecture, and connectivity options.
Just server motherboards? Your concern is valid. Does the X99 Deluxe II support running a CPU without installing one? You're looking for a yes or no answer—specifically, whether the five processors on the motherboard function as CPUs.
Every motherboard needs a CPU. Your car runs without an engine, right? Haha!
I understand, but the picture shows a white box with "5 processors" while the actual board lists an Intel CPU. You were unsure if that count included a CPU and cooling, and you thought it might be a mistake since you already ordered one. It’s possible the display was misleading, but it seems the board does contain a CPU and possibly cooling components.
What is this 4 processor you are talking about? You mean the tpu? Thats something entirely different This board needs a cpu, ram and gpu to have basic functionality. Also any reason you are getting such an old platform? Even budget stuff easily beats the best that platform had to offer. That and those high end x99 cpus on the used market are still anything but cheap
