I have an ASUS Prime X399-A motherboard for a while now. I bought it about five months ago when it was just released, and I upgraded to a 3090 recently. I’ve noticed I keep getting 5 beeps when starting up the PC, but it’s not clear what they mean. I’m used to hearing just one beep, so this is confusing. I don’t see any documentation about this issue, and the system still runs properly. What could be causing this? Would you mind helping me figure it out?

It appears you're asking about a specific error code pattern and seeking guidance from Asus support. The message indicates a potential CPU fan issue, referencing a link to their FAQ.

Are there sounds similar to a rapidly spinning CPU fan? It's wise to inspect for loose connections, so they don't risk being caught in the fan blades.

I'm damaging a 360 AIO and didn't even take it apart. I'll check the cables maybe, but on that side everything looks okay. Speeds are still fast and CPU temperatures are good even with high load like 1920x.

Everything seems fine. The only noise I notice is that little fan in the VRM, which gets louder at startup and then stops for a moment.
