@boostedevo/Ross... nice bclk :up:
~ vtt voltage range you were using for running up to the 243 bclk wall? I look forward to more results with x19 and x21 multis.
Hello guys,
today I have received my new asus RE3, but I have a little problem...
I have an ATI Radeon 5870 installed on it and each time I need to restart Win7, the mobo restart but gave no signal to video card.....
The system boot, enter in Windows (I can hear windows sound) but no video signal.
I must switch off the system, wait some seconds and then restart it, so the video card restart to run.....
What you think can be the problem? I tried to install the video card in all the 4 PCI-E slot but same problem. I have connected all the molex on motherboard but nothingh....
Thanx for replies:)
Double check the power connections to the vid card itself. I had that same thing happen to me when only 1 of the 2 power connectors was not seated properly.
Oh boy, thats a little scary, lol. I tried to purchase this mobo today but stock ran dry before I got out of bed. Now I have to wait for new stock, but I also have a Asus 5870 so hope its not an incompatibility.Quote:

Hey Roger, 1.575Vtt, which is actually less than it needs for 235BCLK on the UD4P with high Uncore/tight mem. With lower Uncore and looser mem on the R3E, 240+ is OK with 1.4x Vtt. I haven't tried benching anything that high on the R3E though, was just looking for max BCLK. I got a 980X with the board, so I am going to drop that in tonight. I'll get some insulation made up this weekend and will put the 920 back on with the SS and post results when I do...Quote:

How can I reflash release bios version to Bios1 chip??
Thanx

i'm good @ 227 on rexII
227 under water so far. But mobo and bios are brand new, so there is more room I think and I need more time to find out the right settings.
Can someone who owns this board look closely to see what exact Intel LAN chip is used please? I spent hours scouring the Internet and not one review mentioned the exact Intel chip used, oh well it is a mobo made specifically for the overclocker in mind so who cares right?... But still I would like to know what LAN chip Asus soldered onto this board. Thanks in advance
Sure wish this thing would come back into stock... lol
LAN-Adapter: Intel 82567V-2
Hope this is what you searched for. Cheers
Wow what a quick reply, thank you very much. I had actually gone to bed thinking it might be a while before someone answers this question. But the moment I layed my tired head down onto my pillow my Blackberry informed me of new email, haha. Might as well reply right away to say thank you.Quote:

Thank you!
I picked mine up two days ago. For the life of me I can't get this thing to power down even if I hold the power button down for no matter how long. Windows shuts down, fans on, mobo lights stay lit.... I've read one solution is to do a HARDRESET of the cmos, but i'm not sure the right procedure to do a hard reset on this board. Seems the bios clear jumper is only for enabling/disabling the switch on the back. I've used the Clear Cmos button on the back but I'm not sure how to go about the normal steps of switching a jumper and removing the battery. Anyone aware of how to go about doing a hardreset without the normal bios jumpers. Perhaps I have a board that needs to be RMA'd if this doesnt fix the problem. The dx58so I upgraded from has no problems with shutdown.
Care package from Asus. They sent me an i7 975 to hold me over until they get me a 980X. They also sent an awesome Antec True Power 1200 watt PSU that I will use for my similar Star Wars build.

My Rampage III build may not be the fastest, but it will be the sexiest.
thats going to be an awesome build DB
Just thinking... ive ordered mine and still w8ting =/
Is there any way to take off only HS from NB leaving rest in place?
Can someone please give me the exact dimensions of this board? From what I can see it's a bit bigger than the normal ATX standard?
It appears to be the same as the Rampage II Extreme which 10.625 inches in width.Quote:

We are currently testing the R3E, initial results seems very promising.
ASUS are pushing it, the initial results with the board, backed up with briliant BIOS support, you got the bomb :up:
ROG Connect is very usefull, debug / diagnostic / overview , along with voltage and clock controls, which changes very fast.

For water cooling, you need a water block that fits on top of the smooth base.
Asus screwed up on the heat sink design. I guess mine is the worst case yet -- the IOH temperature was settling around 79 degrees C at idle. I discovered that the heat sink was making virtually no contact. The southbridge heatsink was only marginally better. I ended up filing down enough metal from the three support posts on the bootom of the IOH heat sink to ensure positive contact. Needless to say, I removed the sticky mess and replaced it with AS. Now I am running below 50 degrees at idle.

Royal Fail has messed up with my R3E delivery for today, apparently it headed off to Heathrow Airport to be shipped aboard... :shakes:
Should be coming tomorrow though... Getting a refund for the failed guarantee next day, can't really complain for 2 day free shipping I suppose. :shrug:
Sounds like we need to see some after market water blocks and or heatsinks for this board soon.
Have 50C IOH and ICH under load.
What program can I use to check the NB / SB temps?Quote:

You can download Everst from here: http://forums.tweaktown.com/f69/late...y-tools-30530/
It's a realy good Monitoring Tool!
So has anyone tried adjusting different PWM mode and switching frequency to see how they affect CPU stability? Heard that upping the frequency to 1000Khz actually reduces stability compared to 250Khz... would be interested to find out if it was true. :)
I have messed around with PWM and found that 250khz works best for me. Haven't experimented much with switching frequency yet.Quote:

Have 2 980X's to test, this is first one, purchased in Belgium, 320B. FINALLY might have a decent chip...w00t!!!
Haven't played with many of the settings....everything pretty much at auto, board feels pretty stable.:up: no CBB @ -107- to -110. Hope it holds out for a little more under LN2. Pretty happy with the volts..promised myself 1.7 absolute max until Ln2. At these temps more is possible but for first time firing the board up....very happy with board and chip.
edit; did the washer mod like on the original RE. used ceramique..temps never hit 40C, high 30's......
More to come...waiting for big daddy pots from Vince & your friendly neighbourhood LN2 delivery guy.
Not too shabby this board:

Template out yet anyone know?
Mine arrived today and I have to say it is pretty impressive.
Gonna mess around with air then off to LC. :D
Hope my heatpipe assy isnt crap, but I guess it doesnt matter as the EK FB block is going on it as soon as it hits.
I have been only using T-Balanced setting and left PWM voltage on Auto with LLC on 100%. Tried 250khz, 500khz and 1000khz switching frequency and for my 920@4.5Ghz ~1.44v most stable was 250khz, yet the difference was slight. This all is still on bios 0402, will flash today 0534 and check if this changes anything.Quote:

He has not been able to get the mobo to boot to his OS since it automatically updated the firmware. Below is the link to the review in question.
Review Title: Loved this board for 1 day only : (
Review is dated: 5/10/2010 8:06:06 PM
URL: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131642
My question is, does this board really have an automatic update feature? and if so can it be turned off? I do not like hearing that a enthusiast class mobo can automatically update itself. This should be left to the user to do if they so wish. lol
Ordered mine yesterday with 2 day shipping, hopefully it will be here friday for some weekend fun...
Automatic Update? No!
If you update to bios 0531 the rog firmware will be automatically updated on next boot (this process takes a view seconds). If you do stop this process I think you can brake your mobo. But with bios flash back you should have the option to reinstall the bios.
I haven't managed to get the NB heatsink off yet. Seems the head on my phillips screwdrivers that are thin enough to clear the holes aren't able to get enough grip to actually turn the screw.
I saw a couple reviews that the Rampage III had a max bclk of around 221 with PCIE @100 . Can anyone tell me what there max bclk is on this board ?
You update the bios on this board using a memory stick, and it somehow does it in bios.
I've managed to get up to 4.0 Ghz on air, but cant get 4.2 Ghz stable, which I had on my UD5, but I think this is because my CPU cooler isnt properly seated and the first core is going far too high over 85 degrees (Previously it maxed out a 87 / 85 / 83 / 81, right now its going up to 91 / 86 / 83 / 81 and BSODing).
I'll try reseating the cooler some other time and using two lines of thermal paste 1/3 the way from both the top and bottom to give better coverage.
Could you try putting the second picture underneath the first because its widening the page too much.Quote:

Sound good to my ears , would like to hear from others to . As you push the bclk further Lee if you hit a wall try bumping the pcie 100 up a bit to further your bclk . Thanks for the your findings so far , appreciate it . Have a good buddy selling his older stuff and is buying my R2E and i7 920 off of me so I may be most likely buying a R3E .Quote:

So under load the real VTT value is actually around 0.1V less then what you set in BIOS. With the VTT/QUI LLC enabled, the VDrop is +.004V, and VDroop is -.005V compared to what is set in BIOS.Quote:

mmm what's so great about it then in your screenshot ? Seems pretty average to me :D
It allowed me to OC another 3 x 21 MHz.
Remains more stable
Ah great.
It's not as bad, I measured my droop on QPI with multimeter and 1.300 bios ends up with 1.260v after droop and while linxing, while 1.3500 ends up with 1.300v. I guess I won't be swapping that jumped anytime soon just for average water cooled OC.Quote:

Didn't do much testing as I got it yesterday, but crashed my car today, so not in the mood. :(
First impression is that it's much more stable and cooler than my DFI UT X58.
Is there a BIOS template, or should I make one?
BTW, would anyone share that new beta bios?
does anyone know if the swiftech MCW-NBMAX will fit? it looks like the nb heatsink is similar to rampage 2 so it should fit.
I plan on using it, it lines up over the holes so I assume it will work fine.Quote:
