Does the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium fit in the top PCI sli slot while still using the stock northbridge heatsink? :shrug:
No, its doesn't You either have to cut some of the fins off the original heatsink. It is easily replaceable many old heatsinks that were compatible with nforce 2 motherboards or the Thermalright hr-05 sli which I modded to fit.....
I'm getting the same sound card but with two 4870x2 watercooled, do you think you can recommend me a NB cooler please?Quote:

No SCP (crackling /popping) in games ?
I modded my NB to fit the x-fi titanium in the top slot of my Rampage II and It sounds perfect. I had non stop crackling and snapping on my old 790i board. No such problems on any of the X58 boards as far as I have heard!! Now, my question! I accidently pulled out all of the wire of my lcd poster from the little socket that plugs into the motherboard. Can anyone show me a picture of the wires of what order thay are in??:shrug:Quote:

Mine works like a charm, i'm impressed. Even if it doesn't reach the heights of a real X-Fi like the one i had, it's real good and after 3 or 4 days i don't even remember i had it :rolleyes:Quote:

My top card gets too damned hot. IMO they could have just lost the last pcie slot/and or the pci slot in between and spaced the two that MATTER further apart.
As a pro, this is the most stable board I have ever worked with. I have never been able to go right in, jack the bclock up to 200 and run at 4ghz without something crying on me. I know the board has a lot that most won't use, but i find everything about it being worth the proce I paid even a month after first getting it. Love it, and I recommend it to anyone who is hardcore...but I have to recommend watercooling with crossfire or SLI for the reasons I mentioned.
I agree to that one seems the rampage boards have always been stable from the get go unless you get DOA.Quote:

Is anything still broken with it? Is LLC fixed and working properly?
Absolutely. Im running dead stable since march when the bios matured. Extremely stable en fast board. Running 4.2 ghz with a i7 920 C0 stepping on all 4 cores. But Lynnfield has been launched today. So an Core i7 870 and a P55 board is also a good choice...............Quote:

I guess am glad I going watercooling and saw that before trying it
Hi, could you re-post picture from your northbridge mod with HR-05 SLI. Your last link expired. Thanks!Quote:

Seems i found the solution how to fix in on Russian forums, but i need the original EEPROM file (not damaged) from both ports to reflash my board w key for device ID and my mac address. Can anyone help me w it, and send it?
There is main steps to save EEPROM:
Download marvell program:
http://depositfiles.com/files/8w1i4wpxz
Or from official marvell site (seems its the same programm):
http://www.marvell.com/support/downloads/search.do
DOS Diagnostic Utility for Yukon Devices
2. Disable in Bios 2nd Lan
WARNING! DO NOT RUN eep.bat FROM DOS it could lead to problems w LAN
3. Boot to DOS (from bootable DOS drive) and do: yukonvpd -R save.raw
4. Send me save.raw file
5. Do this for 2nd port (im not sure that its needed cause maybe they are powered w same chip so i just need to flash two different macs, but plz do it, so i don't have to bother u once more)
Russian ASUS support not sending me the EEPROM files and service center too (warranty already ended), so i will be very greatfull for your help.
Already got the files, no need anymore.
My Rampage 2 extreme board shorted out and died. Does anybody have one for sale on here that i could buy until Haswell-E comes out?
It works flawlessly for 7 years :up:
