I fed up with this board. I owned several ASUS products in the past time but this is the most annoying one. My setup is as follows:
MB: Asus R3E with 0402, 0702, 0802 BIOS
CPU: Intel Core i7 930 Batch 3945
RAM: Corsair Dominator GT 2000C7 6 GB Kit
VGA: Zotac 285 GTX 1 GB
HDD: Seagate 200, 320, 500 and 1500 GB
PSU: Enermax Revolution+ 1250W
Everything is in the case which is LL V2110. When I put rams in red slots I can get a screen which says "Press DEL to run Setup, Press TAB to display BIOS POST message". When press either of DEL or TAB, I get this screen and nothing happens. With CTRL + ALT + DEL, I can restart it. But can not get in the BIOS. The screen I got:
http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/8868/mg2307.jpg
If I put one DIMM in red slot, same thing happens. Also RC Poster reports "Initial USB".
Then if I go with black DIMM slots, it got even worse. No screen, no sound. QLed in MB, hangs on DIMM and RC Poster reports "Memory Detect". I know my RAMs are in working condition.
Any ideas?
Much appreciated.
Hi all......
tested all bios and my xeon3520 wall still at qpi over 4000.....
ASUS.......:mad::mad::down::down:
My xeon on msix58m,ud5 and rampage gene II boot at 224/228 bclk and qpi 4032/4104 smoothly.And push in win at 235......:shrug:
I paid this card 370 Euro.....:shakes:
Ever read the manual where to put dimms in a specific configuration ? Plz don't tell me you did...Quote:

Ever looked in the mirror ? It's not always the motherboard to blame, though that's the easiest ofcourse... just put it on a stick an flash from there... worked everytime here with FAT32Quote:

If boot, do this:
- Put in your case.
- Put all the screws except the one i have market with yellow circle in the next picture.

I don't know the reason... is not for shortening because i already tried putting a washer in all the holes... in the back and in the front with same result, no pass USB Check.
Maybe when you screw all, the mobo get bowed... who knows...:shrug:
But it work to me that way.
Nope mate not slow mode, I don't do fancy high Bclock screenshots. Either it does it at high QPI speed or the board get's a bad rating in the review. I was walling around 230 on watercooling , LN2 got me 3D06 stable at 238Bclock... My 950 walls at 228 on the REX III and UD9 even under LN2. The Xpower needs a trick to get there as that one is completely stuck at 220Quote:

Wow, I tried outside of the case, it kind a work. I placed it on Asus cardbox, in first try, it still hanged on Initial USB but if I lift the motherboard 1 cm high from its left, every time I started it, I could get into BIOS. I think there is something wrong underneath the board. Thanks for the tips Leeghoofd nad kpablo.Quote:

any time i increase mem speed to about 1900+, RC poster gets past mem check but hangs on CPU even though i'd either kept it at or slightly below 4.5ghz. at the same time, any time i increase over 4.5ghz, windows refuses to load at all regardless of what speed the memory is at.
my hardware:
CPU - 980x
Memory - G.Skill F3-12800CL7D-4GBECO (6 sticks total)
BIOS - BIOS1 = 0704, BIOS2 = 0802
what i've tried:
- i've tried increasing cpu voltage to counter higher clockings upto 1.55v, no luck...
- i've tried increasing DRAM voltages upto 1.675v, no luck...
- i've tried manually setting uncore, no luck, windows refuses to boot on any setting on any setting other than auto.
- i've tried manually setting QPI data link, no luck, same thing, windows refuses to boot on any setting other than auto.
- i've tried increasing QPI voltage upto 1.5v, no luck...
- i've tried VERY low blck and high multipliers due to seeing reviews about the memory not liking high blck values, no luck...
- i've tried loosening timings on memory as high as 10-10-10-24-88 2N over stock timings of 7-8-7-24-72 2N, no luck...
my goal:
i'd like to hit 4.5ghz cpu w/ 2000 memory. if i can get higher on CPU too that would be awesome aswell since my 100% load temp on the CPU at 4.5ghz is hardly touching 59-60*c.
here are some shots of my current stable bios setup: **note, my DRAM voltage can actually be down to 1.6v with what i'm running now, i just hadn't set it back down when i took these images.**

oh snap! i'll checkout 0860 and see if it helps.
no luck, same thing, mem boots through bios at 2000mhz now but windows refuses to boot. i tried 1900 and same thing, boots through bios but not windows... i don't even get the loading screen logo for windows, it just restarts as soon as it trys initializing it.
you gonna need more qpi volts for 2000mhz 1.4-1.5vQuote:

:rofl: Of course I've looked in a mirror, but what does that have to do with EZ-Flash not working from an NTFS HD?
Will be trying it via USB sticks (FAT32 and NTFS) to see if I can pin point the problem. This board has a tonne of way's to flash the BIOS, so that's not the issue.
Has anyone had success using EZ-Flash with the ROM file located on their NTFS boot drive?
i tried QPI voltage 1.5v and had no luck... think i might need to go even higher? isn't the 1.7v range the "a little too high" zone?Quote:

holy moly what a threaz
is there anyone that's gotten 12gb with 6 sticks to 2000 yet then? i'm more than certain i've seen a post SOMEWHERE with someone running that speed without a problem with 4.5+ghz clocking on the cpu.Quote:

Try Extreme OC mode 1 (supposed to help ram and uncore)
Can try lower cpu pll to 1.6's
Try bumping up ich voltage to 1.25 or so
I wouldnt run 1.6vtt, I dont dare go that high on ln2 :eek:

alright, i'm convinced that my issue is one of the following...
1 - the memory just wont go higher than 1800
2 - my 980x is just crap and runs HOT
3 - either HWmonitor or PC Probe II is lieing about CPU temp, PC Probe II is seeing roughly 10-12*c higher than HWmonitor...
4 - my water block for the CPU is prooving to be restrictive and not efficiently cooling the 980x properly. water block is a Koolance CPU-360.
5 - again, back to the memory, being it's not designed to be in a hex channel setup it's too much of a load to the memory controller on the 980x for anything over 1800mhz (doubtful but testing at low CPU clocking with high mem clocking at 1900, CPU becomes unstable even at stock clocking. i'll take out 3 sticks tomorrow and see if tbey'll push further, if they do then this and issue 1 are the sources.)
nope they will die quick :rofl:Quote:

what are your temps
my 980x ran supercool
1.74v is fine you will not kill anything, i have to disagree with zsams nothing personal but 1.74v is not high.Quote:

HI what is setfsb pll for this Asus rampage III extreme ? Thanks a lot guys :D
IMO, your IOH voltage is too low for breaking 222 BCLK without Slow Mode. I used over 1.3VQuote:

and this isn't even at my previously stated clocking... this is at 4.1ghz and 1800mhz memory seeing as this seems to be the ONLY stable clocking the 980x will do for me through Prime95
at the same time i'm also thinking i have a bad batch. i have a batch A (3013A489). i've seen some people say this batch is voltage hungry...
Did you try , Core Temp, Realtemp or everest?
nope... then again which one should i use that's ACTUALLY acurate?
why look at 6-7 different temp meters if none of them are actually acurate... how about one that actually reads BIOS temp? and how about ROG connect being able to show more than 57.5*c cause it wont show me any higher, the zoom out on the chart wont move.
for benckin nothin is too high but for 24/7 lolQuote:

alright i'll give it a shot.
and ya i've reseated the heatsink 4 times already thinking the thermal paste shifted or there was too much or too little. nothing's really changed.
I dont normally run ram above 1.65v even for benching. I have 2 kits of hypers, for daily use what would a safe maximum voltage be to try and get them to run at the rated speed {2000mhz) without killing the ram? I am less concerned about damage to the chip, it is not golden and they are cheap at microcenter.
Reseat the CPU? Is that gonna help with monitoring??Quote:

you dont need to troll everywhere you go:down:
If people run CPU's at 1.35-1.45V (8-16% increase from default), IMC's at same 1.35-1.45V (12.5-20.8% increase), why not memory at 1.75-1.8V (only 6-9% increase)?Quote:

I ran my Mushkin Redlines on DFI UT X58 at 1.71V 24/7 until I bought R3E and now memory works like a charm at 1.65V (rated, overclocked, whatever...)
He wants to know how come 2 monitoring programs reads differents value. Will reseating the heatsink help stabilize the temperature in both programs?Quote:

i got some d9jnm and i wouldnt be worried with em @ 2.0
every set of memory i had that didnt run nice went to ram heaven;)
psc needs to be burned in to run nice;) i ran mine @ 1,74v on rex + memtested em for 8 hours n now they run way better
I need confirmation from you guys:
Does Disabling Hardware Prefetcher under CPU Configuration impairs your memory bandwidth?
It takes only one restart to check. :) Tanks!
confirmed ;] also seems to afects CPU L3 cache latency.
Thanks! That's 3x confirmed. Couple more of confirms and we'll make it to the OP! :DQuote:

i did prime95 for 17 hours straight @ 4.1ghz / 1800 memory and it was rock solid... then i restart, come back and i start playing World of Warcraft... 15 minutes into it windows crashes...
lowered memory back down to 1600 stock and no issues. haven't tested cpu stability any higher yet though. as it is, with RealTEMP, the cores are only seeing a max of 60-61*c on 4.1 so i'll see if it'll push higher.
Try bumping up VTT (QPI/DRAM) a little bit. I had in-game instabilities when first started playing with X58. Everything seemed fine, but when I start playing Crysis - BSOD. :( Raised VTT and everything was fine! :)Quote:

what does that tell you about prime95 ;)
it's not my VTT, regardless if i raise it up to 1.55v even, it still will not stabilize and it's because of the memory
G.Skill F3-12800CL7D-4GBECO sticks are designed to run in pairs, not in groups of 6. i'm already pushing the voltage on them when they're stock voltage is 1.35v and i'm setting it to 1.61v for my current stable clocks.
so what i'm going to do is wait for GEIL to source out their GET312GB2000C8HC and GET312GB2000C9HC 6 stick kits that are designed to be stable at 2000mhz @ 1.65v at CL8 and CL9 stock settings using all 6 sticks for a 12gb setup and i've already confirmed with them that this kit is 100% stable on the RE3 + 980x build.
until then...
my stable clocking is:
4.54ghz @ 1.48v 34x133 ratio
1600mhz @ 7-8-7-24-72 (stock rated speed and timings on memory)
vTT - 1.5v, vDIM - 1.61v
what would be the best OCing BIOS?
just got the board yesterday and have BIOS 0402 which I see is the first bios...
Also, what is about the max BCLK everyone seems to be getting? I didnt look at all 67 pages ... but from what i got with my board seems to lock up at 221?
if you're lucky that is with a good cpu and data link set to slow mode i think is how they're doing it.
but it depends on the cpu you're using.
as for bios i'd put 0704 on BIOS1 and put 0860 on BIOS2 and see what differences you can come up with. in a general look, the 4-4.5ghz range is pretty normal if you look at everything in an average, excluding LN2 clockers...;)
Seriously just get yourself some Corsair Ram. Ive got a kit of Dominator 2000Mhz C8 and I run it at 2000Mhz 8,8,8,24 CR2 1.65v 24/7 with RIII Extreme and 980X at 4.3Ghz 143x30 Vcore: 1.3750v, QPI: 1.23750. Ive pushed the memory further to around 2100mhz with a few more increments voltage without any trouble. Not sure how 12GB would go but it should be fine with a bit more voltage.Quote:

This is most auto overclockable board I've seen. I try everything on auto except multiplier 21 and bclk 207 and it pass 5 loops LinX (in very hot room):D. This is not sign of stability of course, but it was impossible for other X58 boards I've had.

I received my RIIIE today - doing the build now.
Just a quick question regarding the 2 8pin 12v plugs ... I'm using a Corsair HW1000 .... should I plug in one of the 8 pin PCI-E 12v plugs also? Or can I just run with one 12v?
I dont think the 8pin pcie-e would fit, you shouldnt do that anyways. Single 8pin cpu is fine
they are there for when you run like tri/quad SLI/xfire to help with power issues ... normal use you only need to plug in 1Quote:

Just be sure to put the yellow and black wires at their proper position . Both of my CPU 8 Pins plugs are used and dont notice any difference from a single one. I guess its for heavy overclocking. Is it bad if I have both plugged..Quote:

Splave, How is the cpu intel sent. I hav'nt noticed much of a hit using single channel and xp 32bit.. I did notice that there's a big difference in win 7 though..
I'm just waiting for my other sticks. Corsair has a minimum order once you check out depending on availability.. I should have more on tuesday.. We'll see what happens, but as far as xp goes. single channel rocks! :)
Oh, Also, I was going to post some gtx 480 results on LN2 as well but I cant seem to get past 1150 on any of them.. I may need to do a hard mod even though I already have Hipros cold slow bios fix..
my chip is great on water terrible on ln2 -135cb 6.2ghz was a chore at 1.825v :( time to sell take the hit and try again

Bummer man.. -135 cb is the most frustrating thing.. I remember when I had one that was -120 cb..
Ah huh! Yes, I just checked the cables, it does indeed :)Quote:

Thanks mate for the BIOS template. I'll be finishing the build when I get back from work, I'll let you know how it worked out.
You could go with an ABS Majesty 1000watt. Its got two 8pins that work with the RE3. Though the second cable is two 4 pin that combine and the lower 4pin's clip requires to be cut or trimed for it to fit cause the clip piece interferes with the capacitor just next to the plug. BUT it does fit fine LOL.
I'm out at PDXLAN in Portland Oregon...and Danger Den has two RE3 systems...one is running the Xpander board with Quad-SLI! Also, it looks like they will have a motherboard block...they were running the two systems with with the prototype block.
They just put some photos up on their gallery site...Gallery

Picked up a new chip from MicroCenter today to try on the r3e. On the older giga boards there was a problem when switching the chip from giga x58 to another brand of board, it wouldnt run right (not sure of the specific problems). Maybe a long shot but in hopes that was the problem I picked up a 930 to try, all my other chips were first run on the UD7, but it still wont go above 218bclk without using slowmode. The good news is so far its running stable at 4ghz 1.18vcore, amazing for a newer bloomfield. I hope it scales well, it is a hot running chip though.
EK REX III block in the house. Will mount it as soon as I've completed testing the CPU blocks...

More tests!! :D

can the expander board be purchased anywhere yet? will it ever be available?
nostromo
Think mid of august mate, though it's only for benchers... no need to buy it for gaming purposes
4-way sli and the xpander sounds fun!! cant wait!! bring it on
I'm up and running @ 4Ghz with my i930 and RIIIE. I've had it up to 4.2 - 4.3, but it just isn't stable yet. I'm working my way around the BIOS, and now I have it rock solid and stable.
I've found the IOH to get really damn hot, so I installed the ASUS heatsink and fan attachment, seems to have improved things.
I'm running quad SLI GTX295's, with 3 x Dell u2711's, for a combined resolution of 7680 x 1440 (Nvidia Surround 2 dimensions).
Everything is watercooled, and I've been doing plenty of game testing. I can play BFBC2 smoothly, but only in DX9. For some reason, there is horrible frame jitter in DX10. Nvidia have said that the current beta surround driver is buggy with quad sli, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to play in DX10 surround soon.
I tried your settings, Karlitos, but they didn't work for me. Perhaps your CPU is a better pick of the batch. I could boot in, but the system was horribly unstable when I started to game or run benches.
If you want to check out the desktop res I'm running, have a look here:

For some reason the image has been resized on imgur .... oh well .... you get the idea.
Anyway, back to overclocking and gaming!
If you want to drop IOH temps , replace the ASUS goo with eg Arctic ceramique, dropped temps here with about 10°C., nice gaming system there.
Also drop the even multie on the CPU, harder to stabilise then an odd one...
I tried 21 x 200; no go. Maybe 19 multi and up the BCLK? It's only my first day with an i7 - I'm a noob to this tech.Quote:

After this, it refuses to boot, with 3 RAM in it hangs at initializing USB, with 1 stick in it resets constantly just after it has posted (it shows the CMOS error F1/F2 screen for about a second and then resets). i've done all the usual, reset CMOS, taken out the battery, held down INS, etc etc. tried the backup bios, reflashed to several different versions, no dice. so i tried this tilting the board from one edge - interestingly this doesn't fix the problem, but it does stop it posting at all, it just locks up immediately on startup with the red DRAM light showing. tilting the board at the same angle (by tilting the solid plate it's resting on) doesn't cause it to lock up. so it seems like there's a physical problem with the board.Quote:

BCLK test with Bloomfield 920 .
Cooling at Mini Cascade -80C . :D

Think theya re all over the place Fester, just search here (Kinc shared them too on Hwbot)Quote:

High BCLK is the point of his run, not the CPU speed.Quote:

I was greedy and after 268 BCLK i tried at 270 . I got the cpuz verification but it was corrupted . I guess at 269 it would be OK .. but that's overclocking . Being lucky helps a bit . :p:
did you have to mess with the PCIE freq? if so... what did you set it at?Quote:

For 260+ BCLK , i had 126Mhz PCIE .
Those are some sweet blocks!! :up:Quote:
