Asked again about Sleep and Power Nap - https://tonymacx86.com/posts/1769574

Now the sleep does not work. The monitor will turn off/stand by when click the sleep menu, but the cpu fans will not stop. It looks the system is still running. Anyway to solve this?

Did sleep worked before?

@SULFI Does Sleep and Power Nap works on your system?

Thanks.

@SULFI and @pinerix Why did you choose E5-2690 v2 CPU? You could choose better CPU option.

E5 2690v2 is affordable for me. And with a dual cpu setups i can do a lot of rendering pretty faster.

Totally understand. Often just need a second set of eyes. Glad it is working!

Hi my e5 2690v2 shows Maximum clock speed as 3.29 ghz in turbo. it supposed to be 3 ghz in normal and 3.6 ghz in turbo
Any advice?

You are mistaken. The turbo frequency is based on the number of cores in use. 3.6ghz is only available if a single core is in use. The max frequency when four or more cores is used is 3.3ghz, which is what you are seeing.

I would search or start a thread dedicated to that. This thread is for completing a successful build with the EP2C602 motherboard. Accessories and other add-on issues are best adddessed in other places.

Thanks a lot @teamawesome for sharing this guide.
I have very similar setup:

• EP2C602 motherboard
• 2x E5-2667 V2
• DDR3 1600 64GB ECC
• Nvidia GeForce GTX 760

I have followed all the steps, including flashing BIOS. I see following error(s):

---->8 snip 8<----
"thread invoke: preemption_level 2, possible cause: blocking while holding a spinlock, or within interrupt context"@BuildRoot/Library/..." "Should have -1622885568 Threads, but only found -1623286096 for Die -1609386496"...

"thread already waiting on 0xffffff..." ... "Should have 32 threads, but only found 32 for Die 31502464"...

Lots of text just flies by at boot so it's difficult to read.
If it helps I have also posted the video here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!Astf8cG5q9cJgcMUI4qg1ePofW56Xw

Any help is appreciated.
