Hey guys I have a little problem.
My cpu running stabile at 5.1Ghz at 1.45 volt!
then I try 5.2Ghz it do.
First time it boot fine up, can almost run a 3dmark 11, then BSOD, and if I try to reboot it freeeze after it come into windows, then I can wait 20 mins and I can do the same again.
I got a big felling that my chipsæt being to hot!!
What would you say?
Temps on cpu is fine.
Thank you for the new bios. Will test it out tonight:up:
5.1Ghz even 5.0Ghz is sweet spot if stable ?
I can do 5.0Ghz stable at 1.45v , but this is high Vcore for 24/7 use (even with decent Temp.), so i down-clock to 4.4Ghz at 1.31 only, and i save much heat and power, and its more than enough for my games and every day use .
Ye is only for bench.Quote:

But do you think my Vram/Chipsæt is to hot at 5.2?
what is the best bios? 1101 or 1305?
with the 1305 bios, you can put the 1101, some have an error message
thanks :)

1305 Sucks.....Quote:

Also added an RX360 to go with my SR1-360. Got rid of those #@*$#@! BP fittings and got some Enzo angled rotaries. Didn't come out too bad. :yepp:

1.440 under load, I used to have an ASrock Fatality X79 which only required 1.425 under load to pass this same test. Any ideas why that might be?
*edit* I think I found out why. TRAS was set to 24 instead of the recommended 28 for the ram. Not sure why the increased CPU voltage compensated for this however.
I watercoole R4E and on the chipset there is a sheet metal, must be removed?
thanks :)
I removed it for maximum heat transfer. easy to remove. Don't worry about it.Quote:

Tried other PSU no help.
did you try booting from your second BIOS?Quote:

Initially it run fine in the windows for a few hours but later things went wrong when my system suddenly shutdown & then cant post anymore. Debug post shows nothing. No usb
so i'm guessing doing a ROG connect port BIOS flash is out...Quote:

Setting VCCSA manually to 1.25 volts was no good for me. The system would hang upon wakeup after being asleep for more than a few hours. Incidentally, I am running my 16gb of ripsaw @ 2400/1.65v. Running memory at 1600 was another solution I found, but I didn't like that one!
LOL, I haven't done any major upgrading in a few years and just noticed my sig. That's hilarious! I thought I was smokin back then too! I just upgraded that rig to this RIVE a couple of months ago, running a 3930 and SSD's and other goodies. The PP&C psu blew up a couple of years ago and was replaced twice, eventually to the HX1000 I'm running now, along with 2x 580GTX's.
I'm inclined to update my sig but I loke looking at that old stuff!
help please :)Quote:

And I have questions for OC :p:
For the LLC cpu and vccsa, it is better to put it? "Medium", "High"? for stable voltages
And for these settings
CPU VTT Over-Current Protection, you set to Enabled?
DDR VTT Voltage, you put what?
CPU Clock Gen Filter, it's better to put on 20UF or AUTO
thanks :)
Hey guys, just bought a Rampage 4 Formula MB last week. I built the system a couple of days ago, but keep getting this error message on bootup the last couple of mornings after the system has been powered off overnight. "System unstable. Your CPU Ratio May Be down at 12x due to unsuitable conditions."
BIOS = 1202, CPU = 3930K (C2 stepping), RAM = G.Skill Ares 16GB (1600Mhz 9-9-9-24). I haven't even started overclocking the system yet, all I've done is load optimized defaults and change the RAM timings and voltage manually.
Does anyone know why that message keeps popping up on bootup?
Try changing turbo ratio option to 'By all cores'Quote:

other info, if I switch from 4.5 to 4.4GhZ after the bios, boot the PC directly, when I go to 4.3GhZ after the bios, the PC shuts down and then boot
thanks :)
it is intentional
for better stability
ok this is normal then? check that something this dual boot?Quote:

I ask because many over 4.4GhZ not this cold boot
and in the bios, the "strap" is in AUTO, how to know the settings? with an app?
thanks :)
For CPU and VCCSA Current Capabiity, what is best settings?
thanks :)
quoted directly from Raja:Quote:

"VCCSA Current Capability: Increases the power threshold before over-current protection limits power. Increase to 140% if running 64GB of memory or if running memory speeds in excess of DDR3-2133."
And now for my two cents.
CPU current capability should be fine at 150% unless looking for that extreme oc or clocking at sub-ambient temps.
It is to my understanding that setting a higher current capability does not actually provide more current until it is needed. Setting a value higher than what you may need shouldn't negatively impact anything except VRM temps.
Hope this helps! :up:
thank you ;)
% Over the high, the more it pushes the protection of VRM
Is That right?
For CPU, 140% better protect VRM that 180% (same for VCCSA)?
I understood?
Thanks ;)
edited previous post ^^
I leave my VCCSA current capability at 140% all the time, but that's because I'm constantly playing with the RAM, lol.
From what I understand, it pushes protection "internal" VRM (cuts or other)
To 140%, the VRMs are more "protected" at 180% for example,
Finally, if I understand :D
I put 140% for the CPU, and 120% for VCCSA
Auto, it is 180% for the CPU, and 100% for VCCSA
100% is normal operation. Setting higher than 100% means the VRMs can provide more current(if needed) before throttling or shutting down(due to power draw) at the cost of temperature.Quote:
Originally Posted by tistou77

Setting a higher value simply allows more current to be supplied to the CPU/VCCSA under power-hungry situations such as high overclocks.
I've tried to explain it the best I can, if you're still having trouble understanding current capability, you should ask Raja or LardArse, lol:yawn:
Ok I understand, this is what I thought (but I misspoke, I'm not good in English ^^)
At 180% (for example) the VRMs "throttling or shutting down (due to power draw) at the cost of temperature" later if it is 140%, at 180% VRMs let pass more current (180%, the amount is less restricted than 120, 130, etc...)
If it is stable with 120 or 140%, no need to set more?
thank you very much for you explanation Random Murderer :up:
Hey, no worries!:)Quote:

I'd prefer to ask for VRMs, some people saw the "smoke" with their R4E, and some have burned :eek:
And black plate behind the VRMs is very hot for some
the only "burned" R4Es I've seen have been the 8-pin CPU power connector(EPS +12v). It's caused because those people are pulling too much current through those connections. That's why Asus included an additional 4-pin CPU +12v connector, so the current would be split among the additional wires as well and something like that wouldn't happen. They(Asus) also included the additional 6-pin PCIe power connector and 4-pin floppy connector next to the OC Key connector, so you can provide additional power to the expansion slots and RAM, respectively, without pulling that power from the 24-pin connector and possibly burning that up.Quote:

Ok Thanks ;)
When is that it's recommended to put the 4pin CPU (in addition to 8pin)?
I have an OC 4.5GhZ, and I just put the 8pin, it's good or not?
And I saw on the French forum (among others) 6 or 8 R4E "burned"
On the 8pin of CPU, on the pci-e n°1
On the ROG forums, Raja said you don't need to connect both until you hit 5GHz and/or are using sub-zero cooling.Quote:

Burnt 8-pin would be faulty PSU, faulty board, or pulling too much power to be using the 8-pin alone(without the 4-pin).Quote:

I'll just leave the 8pin
Hey All!
Looking for some suggestions(new Bios), got the rive with a 3930K was running fine under water at 5020 with a strap of 125.00 then bumped up the BLK four times to like a 125.500 mem set at 2008 everything was running fine temps are good. Just did a Heaven run this am, after wards during reboot it said updating Irog something it went through but after that all my over clock settings are gone? BIos was updated to the 1305 at the time, I tried switching the bios switch still seems flakey. I can reset my clock settings but it has only booted in windows 7 at stock settings except the raid O it wont lose. Even the CPU voltage defaults to stock, in between though it will stick at a code 44 now and then. Other settings are Stock (during over clock)except the Vccsa is 1.1v VVT CPU is 1.125v, CPU at 1.475 till in windows then bump it to 1.49 for running 3Dmark11, again temps always good, other setting all cores on, all other cpu settings off.
Need more let me know............ I was having a blast reading this whole thread and using it then boom.
Not sure what went down but this AM everything seems to be fine? Only issue is with all my over clock settings missing in the bios, I may have shut off one to many things in the task manager before a run, but that shouldn't cause bios issue's, here's a score. 1305 bios 100 strapping
Thanks for all the help!! :ROTF:

Hi guys!! i need some help please ....
i'm trying to do some benchmarks on w7 x64 and xp 32 bit, but i have a weird problem , this is what
atm i've got an hard drive dedicated to only benchmarks so is good to be messed up and what ever ,
if i try to boot @ 5.2ghz ht on there are no problem, but if i disable ht .... sometimes windows xp & 7 would not even boot, the times it boot the cpu is stuck @ 3.2
http://i46.tinypic.com/34q91c3.jpg
and the bios settings are

if i try to boot on the gaming drive it works, what's going on then? what's am i doing wrong?
thanks for the help :)

I must say, once I got this board in and have got everything going, what an absolute pleasure it has been and this thread has been very helpful as well.
thanks Don M. i'll try it out and let you know what happens, and i'll make more bios screenshots settings for a better troubleshooting. :)Quote:

i think that 200gflops depends from the ram, because before when i was having gskill 2133 @ 4,7ghz i was having 193gflops, changed ram and bumped to 2.4ghz they i had 200gflops :)
and no it's not snowing, i've just opened my room windows ehhe :D , i tried to run this morning 4.9 ht off, reached the 13 loop i got an error, and temp where pretty high so i decided to let it go, i'll try when room temp is lower, don't really want to rma my board again! :mad:
btw here is a 4.9ghz ht on :)
http://i50.tinypic.com/1zbgkr5.jpg
And finally I've got my replacement board, but I'm faced with the exact same debug 01 issue. What are the odds for me receiving my second faulty Rampage IV Extreme motherboard?
Once again I tried with different pairs of RAM, running one-by-one, trying with two different graphics cards. Basically I tried with different kinds of every piece of hardware besides the CPU as I don't have a second LGA2011 CPU around.
Now the big question is, might I actually have a defective CPU, which are very seldom or did I just receive my second faulty Rampage IV Extreme?
Wow that's terrible. I'm inclined to think cpu at this point.Quote:

Those are safe voltages.Quote:

well from what I've read even Sham suggested upto 1.15 VCCSA for 24/7 use on the rog forums, granted I'm sure one can push higher with water and other cooling solutions but with air I simply do not see why it would go so high on auto?Quote:

So you're right!:)Quote:
If overclocking past DDR3-2000, then finding the optimal delta between CPU vcore and VCCSA becomes critical with some memory modules. Hence, we recommend making small changes and monitoring for impact upon stability. It is probably wise not to exceed a voltage delta larger than 0.6V between VDIMM and VCCSA, so if VDIMM is set to 1.65V, then set VCCSA at around 1.05V minimum as a starting point AND also try to keep VCCSA within 0.3V of Vcore if possible.
ok thanks
my settings (bios) ram @ 2400
Vcore 1.28v
VTT: 1.15v
VCCSA: 1.05v
VDIMM: 1.65v
it's all good :D
Auto really is Auto. There is no universal bullet when it comes to memory controller voltages, we have to pick a range that works with almost all setups. Too low and users complain some kits won't POST and then expect some kind of workaround. In the end it is down to the user to tweak the system down to lowest voltages - and this will vary from CPU to CPU and according to the memory modules used.Quote:

Sorry if this question has been already answered, but how can I downgrade the UEFI ???
Anybody know if this board will fit into my Silverstone Raven RV02.
Thanks.:up:
it should.Quote:

EDIT: here's a pic of it up and running in the Kublai 04. keep in mind it's far from done;) needs a water loop and much better cable management, among other things.
but the point of showing you this is to show it fits, and still has almost a full inch of room until the board would cover the cable management pass-throughs.

Great many thanks :)
What about on the Rampage 4 Formula? They don't have any of those connectors, so does that mean that I shouldn't push the board? I haven't started overclocking yet, but reading this doesn't sound very good. What OC should I be looking at for 24/7 use? 4.5Ghz? Going to try to set it up with offset at 4.5Ghz like my Asus Z68 MB. Anyone got a link to an offset OC guide for X79 or is it similar to Z68?Quote:

The spec for 8-pin EPS is 4 * 12V + 4 * ground 18 AWG line. Conservatively it can safely handle 28A or 336W and probably 1.5 times that without bursting into flames. I don't think you have to worry, unless your 24/7 clock for 6 cores is 1.6V @ 5Ghz :)Quote:

I've read it overclocks just as well, but I don't see how it can without the extra power connectors that the Rampage Extreme has. That's OK though because I didn't really buy the board for that. I bought it more for the 4 x PCIe x16 slots, in other words for gaming, and I'd say that is what this board is catered towards. Maybe I am wrong though and it can hold it's own Vs the Rampage Extreme.Quote:

EDIT: I have to back what Deachus said. Just push your system. You'll start experiencing odd problems when(more like IF) power related issues pop up. And hey, if the board fries, the ROG RMA department is great about replacing your board regardless of reason of failure. These boards are designed for overclocking and Asus fully expects us to do so.
Anybody have an idea what good settings for BCLK and PCIE skew are for a 3820? In the RIVE OC Guide Raja posted, it mentions the ideal settings for the 6c procs are -2 BCLK and -20 PCIE, but haven't seen anyone say anything about the 3820. I've tried -1 BCLK with -10 PCIE and -2 BCLK with -20 PCIE, but neither helped much. -1/-10 was able to run longer before BSOD, but still very unstable.
If needed, I can post a quick rundown of settings and voltages.
EDIT:nvm, found a post by Sham on another forum(think it was the ROG forum...) saying to try BCLK skews from -2 to +2 and PCIE skews of -20, -10, +10, +20, +30. I'll fiddle with them later and report back.
nice cpu .Quote:

(I started out using medium CPU LLC with a 3960X, but stability was unpredictable over 4.6 GHz. I could perform a 20+ Linx run, then a minute later the system would randomly BSOD or error out 3-4 minutes into another Linx test. Also, try the latest Prime95 with AVX. With these CPUs it seems to cause a BSOD or show errors more consistently and faster when something isn't quite right. Stabilizing the CPU voltage with High LLC solved that problem for me.)
The system is stable at 4.7, 120.6 x 39, 1.35Vcc. Trying to go higher and potentially stabilize 5.0, as temps and voltages are still well within the safe range, but it's being difficult. It could also be that I haven't really had time to sit down and tinker for a few hours continuously.Quote:

:D
You were right. Got home from work on Thursday to see it was 9 hours AVX Linpack stable at 1.35Vcc. Loaded up Prime95 27.7 and it errored out in 38 mins. Had to up the Vcc to 1.37 for 24 hour stability in Prime95.Quote:

Pretty much any kit that uses 1.65VDIMM or less will run fine.Quote:

My Samsung 1600 has hit 2500 on this RIVE, so I see no reason a 2400 kit matched with a decent IMC couldn't hit 2600+.
If you're worried the RAM itself won't clock that high, just wait a month or two. Corsair, G.Skill, and Team Group all showed off 2800+ kits at Computex and they should be hitting shelves soon.
Thanks Random, Im tempted to try the 30nm Samsungs too. I only have two sticks of Team 2400c9 but its worth a try. Are the Team 2600c10 also good clockers? I found a quad channel set of those but no 2400c9's.
:)
You should pick some up. For the price, you really can't go wrong. there was a long thread over on TPU about them and only two or three people couldn't get them to 2133(my guess would be mobo limitations, as two were trying on P55 boards), and a lot of us hit 2400.Quote:

I'm running AI Suite II and have noticed that on some screenshots posted on the web that the AI Suite II sensor panel will show a VTT CPU temperature and VCCSA temperature. The only temperatures my AI Suite II sensor panel shows is CPU, Motherboard and PCH temperature. Is this normal? Thanks.
Make sure you're using the latest AI Suite software. I started by installing the Suite that came on the CD, then used the Asus site to download their latest AI Suite. Turns out some of the software was more recent on their site, some was the same version that came on the CD, and two programs installed from the CD were actually newer than the ones on Asus' site.
I'm running 1.02.29 which is the latest release of AI Suite II.Quote:

This might be somewhat unusual question, but how is it with Asus Rampage IV Extreme (Intel X79), Intel Core i7-3960X and power management / saving features? I remember back with my Intel Core i7-920 and Rampage II Extreme many of the power saving / management features like speed stepping and various other things was disabled upon playing with the multiplier for instance.
How is things this time around? I want the best of both worlds, trying to reach 5.0GHz overclock on 3960X but at the same time keep the power management and saving features so my system draws the least possible amount of power while idling and doing non-demanding 2D stuff, but get the overclocked speeds and performance kicking in while rendering, playing games etc..
Is this possible to achieve, or would I be stuck with stock multiplier and frequencies in order for the power settings to work efficient and as intended?
DDR3-2251 11-11-11-28 1t, 143 tRFC, 8 tWCL @ 1.44Vdimm measured. I can post a MemTweakIt ss later if desired.Quote:

I'm also still trying to OC the 3820 further, so the RAM isn't really where it could be if I sat down and played with timings for a while.
All power settings(except maybe a few C states) are available to use, the Ai Suite even includes a program to help tweak the power savings.Quote:

This is possible since I have my system overclocked to 4.6 with all the power management stuff on such as speedstep and c-states. Going over 4.6 is possible but my board is not stable after resume from sleep above 4.6ghz. Still if you want to go over 4.8ghz you should disable all power management features to ensure greater stability.Quote:

A greeting.
For VCORE do you all prefer a fixed value or using the offset mode? I've always used a fixed value with LLC but it seems offset may be the new way to go?
With a 3960X up to about 4.5GHz I had good results using off-set VCore. After that, it became increasingly difficult to get my system stable. I needed more voltage for a given frequency compared to fixed VCore. Also, my system would randomly crash during light transient loads, even though it was perfectly stable under full load.
Hello,
I'm using Rampage 4 Formula for the past 2 months and it was running on stock perfectly fine. Last night I powered down the PC and this morning when I pushed the power button nothing happened. The motherboard LED's are lighting but I can not start the PC. Fans are not spinning, debug codes doesn't show anything. I disassembled the PC and tried RAM and PSU on another PC and they are working fine. I tried to run the board with 1 and 2 stick of RAM, i tried to use the other BIOS, also tried the USB BIOS flash back, but the problem remains. The BIOS flashback is working only for the second BIOS - i see the ROG Connect button flashing 15 seconds and then stops, but for the main BIOS it doesn't even starts the procedure. I tried with different cooler and didn't tighten all the way also checked the boards for bent pins, but there is none and the socket is fine. The board is LED are working, but when I puch the power button on my case or the button on the motherboard its like there is no power and nothing happens.
EDIT: I saw that the heat sink of the motherboard is heating when the power supply is plugged into the motherboard and the PSU is switched ON. Is this normal?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

I can Comfirm modded working fine currently on my rampage IV extreme
Modded Bios 1404 running great on RIVE...
id like to add myself to the rive club. Currently running 3930k 4.8ghz 100x48 daily stable at 1.4v with patriot Division 4 viper extreme 2133 running xmp profile and 2 GTX 480 sli.
Hello all, quick question.....does one need the modded BIOS if they are not running RAID?
RSTe is Intel's Rapid Storage Technology. It not only handles RAID, but also AHCI and Hot Swap.Quote:

On an unrelated note, would your RAM be the same as mine? The low-profile, low-voltage DDR3-1600? If so, I'd like to compare notes.
In general, PSCs are good for the OC or some are not?
With a Kit Dominator GT 2000 3x2Gb 8-9-8 (ver 7.1A), it is possible to 2400 C9 (stable LinX)
But with 2x2GB 2000 8-9-8-24 (ver 7.1) is not stable with HyperPI 32M
Thanks ;)
Outstanding! Thanks for the reply! I was hoping that it would help AHCI a tad. I ran AS SSD Benchmark last night and the score was extremely low compared to what I scored on my Crosshair V Formula, not cool IMO....AMD scored in the high 700's but on this rig it scored a mere 500!? ouch!Quote:

For h24 is better to be "High" or "Ultra High" for the LLC?
And 1.34v for the vcore in h24 is reasonable (WC)?
Thanks
