Hi Ghostleader,

What part number are your dominators and what speed/timings can you achieve with 0403 ?.

I'm persevering with 0801 but finding that my previous settings do not work so it will take some time.

For those that do not like the pulsating ROG and start buttons these can be switched off in 0801 - Hurrah !!

I run the same as you do, the TWIN3X2048-1800C7DFIN G.

I started with 400 10 4000 1600 666 18 1N tRD5 and it was pretty good but I need 1,70+ for the NB with tRD5 and tRD6 is no good.



Next up was 450 9,5 4275 1800 777 21 1N tRD7 and I think it´s quite awesome as a 24/7 gamer setup.





Tried 475 9 4275 1900 777 21 1T tRD7, awesome bandwidth and latency but I need 2,15v on those ram to be stable, a little to much for my liking, maybe with a little more tweaking I can get below 2,05v.

How do your setup look like with your ram at 1900 777 18?



With 500 8,5 4250 2000 888 24 1N tRD8 I can get 32M stable but not stable when I loop Crysis with Crysis Benchmark Tool or when I play Crysis, maybe with more tweaking it may can be stable but I don´t know where to start, skew or subtiming, any suggestion.

With my 790i Ultra I could reach 2050 888 24 1T tRC 34 at 2,05v stable with Crysis.

I can run 500 8,5 4250 1600 666 18 1T tRD7

To beat 450 9,5 4275 1800 777 21 1T tRD6 I need something like 2050 - 2060MHz at 888 with ratio 1:2 and I talk about more fps, but if I can get 475 1900 to run below 2,05v I think I go with that setup.

So this is where I stand right now.

Does anyone else's Rampage Extreme heatpipe assembly sit high at some points? I just looked at my own after re-installing it with thermal compound, the small rubber washers don't even touch the board in some cases, yet in other areas they do! The screws are fully tightened though, it's odd.

Not touching the board:

This one IS touching the board:


I'm wondering if I should take the assembly back off and work on it?

Also, is it a given that if too much compound was used on the Northbridge (NB) then when the heatsink is screwed in place, the compound would run down the side of the chip? I checked and I don't have any compound squirting down the side of the chip, but still wonder if I used too much:
