Xeon 1680v2 Aliewnare Aurora R4 ALX

[handale30]

Hello and good day wonderful Aliens.

So I'm trying to upgrade the Aurora R4 to the best it can be (stock gen) and I purchased a 1680V2 Processor. it originally had the 4820k.

When I installed the 1680v2 the computer doesnt post, no Bios screen no leds, no beeps only the fans run quietly and nothing happens. 
Ive read that the mb from this alienware should support it, and other say it doesnt. Does anyone have some experience with this, id mega appreciate it! 

Thanks in advance!!

I think I had a similar issue. Make sure you are on the latest BIOS first
