So who made Full cover waterblocks for this board so far ? Ive seen EK and koolance
Is there difference in performance between the two ?

Don't think there's much to gain once your waterloop starts to heat up... also what's the difference between eg 32 and 35°C on the chipset here. Fun thing is that my CPU temps are almost not affected by adding the full EK block into my loop...
:rofl: Welcome to overclocking! :welcome:Quote:

About temps, I don't consider 90+ dangerous, but it's not recommended for 24/7.
PCI-E is OK @ 100 for BCLK @ 200.
I wouldn't recommend running 24/7 with such high VTT (QPI/DRAM) 1.5+. General opinion is that it should be kept under 1.45.
Lowering CPU PLL could help you, but not necessarily. It usually doesn't help with Bloomfield. If I interpret correctly Intel's specs, lower limit for Bloomfields is 1.65 and for Guftowns there is practically none.
In your case I recommend running CPU @ 4.3GHz 205x21 (as you already do), but drop the memory to 1640, UnCore to 3690 and tighten the latencies, so you can lower VTT.

don...lowered PPL to 1.55. If 1.25 is low and 1.8 is default...1.5 is a good inbetween number;-)
Guys, why i have red PLL voltage:

With this new rig, I finally get to join the 4Ghz club :toast:
24hr prime stable:

My max temp would have been 84C instead of 87C but my ambient temp briefly went up. I'm sure my temps will be lower during gaming anyway. ;)

Quick update..
4.5Ghz (215x21) now stable on my 930! It took many, MANY hours nutting out voltages but I've finally got it. Here is a quick rundown:
CPU 4.523Ghz
DDR 1725Mhz 6-8-6-20
CPUv 1.437
PLL 1.88
QPI 1.45
DRAM 1.64
Hope this helps out anyone else looking to hit 4.5 on air. As you'd expect, temps are high maxing out in the low 90s in IntelBurn. Superpi is 9.0, compared to 9.7s at 4.2Ghz/2000Mhz. Thanks again donmarkoni and others for your help! :)

Been trying for awhile now to get a stable OC with QPI LLC on, LinX usualy stopped very early or around 10 runs before getting error.
Also got some fail OC messages from cold boot on startup:shakes:
Yesterday i moved the QPI LLC jumper to off and i get 20 stable on 2nd try...with tad less voltages compared to my most stable with QPI LLC jumper on:confused:
Been trying to figure why but no luck yet, guess maybe my setup just dont like QPI LLC thou CPU LLC is usualy on Full Calibration with no problems.
Think ill stick with QPI LLC off until i get my watercooling sorted and maybe try again then unless anyone got an idea:p:

@MariaH79
You can check and note your VTT (when it drops) while stressing with LinX, then set QPI LLC Enabled and set voltage in BIOS according to what you noted before.
If you guys noticed, the app for the iPhone was posted to the app store the other day. Unfortunately we found out that it needed an accompanying driver on the host PC to make it work, and ASUS hadn't released it yet...
Well HERE IT IS!
http://rapidshare.com/files/41896374...k_v1.00.16.zip
It seems to work great over Wifi, I haven't tried USB or Bluetooth yet. Bluetooth apparently requires you have tethering enabled on your iPhone.
The installer is bad and doesn't add start menu items, so you have to navigate to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\ASUS Mobilink\
and launch the ASUS Mobilink.exe file manually.
I added it to my startup folder to avoid having to start it every time.
Also figured I'd share my BIOS template in case someone has a similar config, and is looking for help:

How is this motherboard holding up with you guys and gals
I used to have asus board but they only last 2 years under full load ... I'm now using gigabyte and evga mostly
What OS you have?
Win7 x64 does not work at all.
Program does not do anything when launched, iphone cannot connect when configured to connect directly to computer assigned (static) IP via tcp/ip.

Also, my bios and cpu-z say 4ghz but right-clicking on "my computer" says 3.83 ghz. Since 3.83ghz = 182*21, is it just thinking I'm using a 21x multi?
Running benches such as cinebench and super pi definitely indicate 4ghz clocks and I tend to believe my bios and cpu-z over windows reporting...
So I just finished my build and everything booted up OK on first attempt... Updated motherboard BIOS to latest version (1005)... Things are going very well, except for one issue... please let me know if anyone has any ideas on this - thx.
Haven't installed any OS yet, although will be installing Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Have the RIIIE running w/4 hard drives attached to the ICH ports... 2 of those drives I would like to configure in RAID0 mode... also have 1 SATA 6Gb/s drive plugged into one of the Marvell SATA6Gb ports (just an FYI - not part of this issue)... then I have 2 more hard drives connected to a Promise FastTrak TX-2300 PCI RAID Controller card in a RAID1 config. I have the "Onboard SATA6G Controller" set to AHCI mode (just an FYI), as well as under the main "Storage Configuration" I have "Configure SATA as" RAID (rather than IDE or AHCI)... here's the issue... when configured in RAID mode, I can see the ICH RAID config during bootup, BUT I don't see the Promise TX2300 RAID BIOS at all... even in the Boot Menu in the BIOS, the "RAID: FT TX2300 Array" doesn't appear there... However, if I switch the SATA config to AHCI I can then see the FastTrak BIOS config menu during startup, as well as it appearing in the Boot Device list... of course then I can't access the Intel ICH controller RAID BIOS config (although I do see the drives attached to it)!!
The question is - how can I get BOTH the Promise PCI RAID Controller AND Intel ICH RAID Controller to be enabled and available in the BIOS at the same time?? I would like to create RAID arrays on each and currently this is not possible... Or can I just configure the Intel RAID0 array using Matrix Storage Manager once Windows is installed (is this possible and/or recommended)?
One other question - does the BIOS RAID & AHCI modes use the same driver in Windows 7? That is, can I move forward w/my Windows installation (which is not going on either RAID array, but on a single SSD) and not worry about driver/BSOD issues if I switch between AHCI and RAID modes in the BIOS later on? I realize there a registry hack to get around having the reinstall Windows, but just wanted to know if the driver was the same or not... thanks for any help!!
Here is the hardware config:
Case: Corsair Obsidian 800D
Motherboard: Asus Rampage III Extreme
Processor: Intel Core i7 930

You don't think your QPI/Dram voltage is too high? I always though 1.45 was the max. Is this a 24/7 OC?Quote:
