I don't have the dominators though. Mine are the XMS3 series that are rated for 9-9-9-24 @ 1600. I don't even think that are the same IC's?Quote:

As the Rampage II Extreme got the highest price-tag as well, there is no worries about having to pay money for whatever replacement board I want!
But it's very disappointing though, I loved Asus for a few years back, the past 1-2 years they've just gotten worse.. Lots of wacky BIOS releases, faulty boards, lots of RAM incompatibility, cold boot on ROG - boards, you name it?
Can't say I'm looking forward to install my new Asus Xonar HDAV1.3 Deluxe Audio card either, it's supposed to give you a bluescreen every time DirectX Audio kicks in? Doesn't sound promising for my gaming at all, no need for the new DS3D GX v2.0 and full support for Dolby Digital TrueHD and DTS(HD) Master Audio on my Creative Gigaworks S750 7.1 speaker system if I bluescreen all the time.
But it seems to have become the habit of Asus lately, release lots of boards.. Tossing barley tested BETA BIOSes everywhere making their premium customers BETA testing their products for them?!
I'm curious...
Do you guys having the boot issue have a lot of fans connected via the fan headers? Or rather connected to the fan headers nearby the CPU socket?
Also does manually setting the CPU Clock Skew and Differential Amplitude make any difference to cold boot issues?
I've experienced on an Asus P5Q where setting up the NB and CPU Clock Skews manually to the right values it made the system a whole lot easier to boot after power cycling the PSU.
Just to make sure I understand this correctly. Cold boot problem is where you get a hang on DET DRAM after switching the PSU off, unplugging it, and switching it back on again right? Then it may take a couple of tries to get it to post?
Yes, I have 4 case fans and the CPU fan.Quote:

It could be something as simple as the VRM overdrawing current on the 8pin ATX for a brief instant when you power cycle.
I am running Crucial Ballistix settings are 9, but using the ROG profile gets them down to 7. Great RAM.Quote:

My question is sense the memory controller is on the CPU now instead of the NB what is the NB doing to make it run so hot?
Or is it where all the heat pipes come together and thus you are getting heat from the other components??
NB is still PCH pcie controller hub, which runs all the 36 pci-e 2.0 lanes inclusive of the 4x pci-e DMI link to the SB, and 2 x QPI to CPU. Additionally it does transaction scheduling, queueing, etc for all PCIE and SB traffic to the IMC/CPU.Quote:

What is this cold boot issue exactly? I searched the thread but I don't quite understand.
Are you experiencing the same issues of cold boot like people with corsair ram?Quote:

Disconnected all 4 fans. Turned the PSU off just to be sure, booted into Vista, shutdown, tried to turn the computer back on and all I got was the same brief flash of light....... :) Thanks for trying to help.Quote:

I on;y had to bend it so that the watertubing wouldnt be in the way, If there was a little more slack in the tubing, it would be fine....The True black would fit no problem. You should be able to have it straight up and down. It doesn't go over 42C on the NB using Asus Probe. I don't know if this is an accurate program.... It shows way higher voltage on the cpu than the bios or Everest. If i set 1.55 in bios, it shows a range from 1.59-1.61??!! WTF?? :eek:Is there a better temp program than these for x58?Quote:
