Hi everyone ! Excuse me, please, if this question has already been asked but does anybody know how to turn off the onboard buttons (Start, reset...) backlight when the system is in soft-off mode ? :confused:
I don't think they can turn off...Quote:

I have a semi weird issue that I noticed. I have a a usb 2.0 card reader as well as the case usb ports and while using it with my corsair 8g thumb drive I get at most 9mb to 12mb transfer speed. On my dad's simple gateway laptop the transfer speeds are up to 30mb to 40mb highest I've seen. So what is up with this?

I am testing now your same memories and I confirm that it is very hard to keep 2000 MHz stable.Quote:

I wonder if you found some trick meanwhile to reach 2000 MHz and not using so high Vtt that Intel says is a little dangerous for 24/7 use.
:up:could you share specification and settings?Quote:

I'm currently on E8600 @ 4.35Ghz GB EX38DS4 and single 280GTX
... and my upgrade will be:
Core i7 975 Extreme Edition
Rampage 2 Extreme
Mushkin REDLINE 6 x 2GB 1600Mhz
two Asus 285 GTX TOP in SLI
Enermax Revolution+ 1250W
Creative x-fi Titanium fatality Pro
one 300gb velociraptor for OS + games and one 1TB WD for storage
This is my third rig and i hope that each component will run flawlessly on it... so far my both previous rigs had gigabyte board.... this is my first Asus:)
Anyways.... i have one issue. Ive read several forum topics that the first black audio slot will not fit Titanium card unless i bend down that passive or even rip it off....do you guys have Titanium card in that slot and how did you solve it? I don't want to rip it off cos warranty may void:(
Also ... will the newest bios recognize 975EE?
PS: sry for my bad English :))
i have an fxi extreme audio (pci-e variant) in that same slot and the card is pretty much the same size as yours..Quote:

If you don't want to mess with the heatsink you can stick the X-Fi Titanium in the last slot instead.

Maybe that's it, I started to use this board again and I was coming from 11series bios... I needed 1.28ish Vcore set then to get prime stability, anything lower would have freezed in minutes. Now with 1403 I can run sub 1.27ish volts. Really puzzled...
Thx for the input, much appreciated
hi guys, i just moved to Windows 7 RC1 x64..the Xi-Fi Drivers for windows vista x64 keep giving me an error saying that it cannot detect the necessary hardware when i click on the audio console...4
any idea what might be the problem? i have all the latest drivers installed. thanks in advance (:
IIRC, there's a Beta W7 Driver for Xi-Fi soundcard at Soundblaster.com.Quote:

Thanks BabyFace, Yeah i did notice that the splash screen takes longer to load and it became bad to worst after a few weeks the splash screen is taking longer and longer, i have gone back to 1206 and seems to be some improvement in terms of waiting time...Quote:

Where's my share? HHehee...glad it works great for ya. It'll last a long time, but Enermax doesn't provide lifetime warranty on their PSUs, which is one of the reasons why I went with Prudent Way instead. They provide lifetime warranty on their PSUs, which is the first.Quote:

A question for Rampage II Extreme users -
I have been trying to decide on what motherboard to use with my new i7 build and after seeing the hit or miss issues with the EVGA Classified, I’m back to considering the Rampage II Extreme.
My only issue is that I wanted to stick an X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty sound card in the first PCI-E slot but from looking at pictures of the board it seems that it will be blocked by the heat sink on the X58 chip.
Has anyone here replaced the heat sink with a smaller after market solution? Does anyone have any recommendations?
Are you planning to run tri-sli? I don't think there's a flat enough nb heatsink to not obstruct that pci-e slot.Quote:

My friend has it just like that and it works:) I'll do the same as soon as i get my RIIE and then i will sure post some pics but it's gonna be probably next week sometimes. I will not run trisli but i might get 3rd card for physx so i need to fit that sound card in the first black slot.
Thanks for the responses.
Instead of having to bend the fins on the heat sink I would have thought that at least one of these heat sinks would fit the Rampage II Extreme.

Papagaj,
Yes, its the revolution 80+
Without a doubt, You'll love it too.
Sorry if this is a silly question but will the Sound Card's PCI-E work on the R2E's Regular white Legacy PCI slot?Quote:

No...PCI-E cards do not work in legacy PCI slots. But the x1 card will work in the x4/x16 slots, though.Quote:
Originally Posted by bullydog

thx for answer
On auto settings in that configuration the slots should be x16 x16 x1. Alternatively, in the BIOS you can change it manually to X16 x8 x8.
yes. i replace the asus heatsinkQuote:

Only in Germany? Where's justice in this? HEhehe
Anyone water cool the north south bridge with sometihng like the koolance block. Is there a point apart from looking cool Or just change the TIM. I know some one was Changing the Tim on the passive coolers. But can't find the results.
i have the full koolance kit, the loop shares a 8800GTX running physics and the mofsets are also on it, average temps 40 degrees and never climbs above 45 for the nb/sb when the room temps 27 degrees and the systems gaming.
You dont have a cpu block in that loop right. Would u say its worth getting the block for NB SB only or dosent bring anything to overclocking. If i do get it it will be in a loop with a cpu block too.
I am seriously considering grabbing an EK block for my board.
I got a SB overtemp warning the other night, ive cured this by sticking an 80mm fan on the IOH and a 120mm near the SB, this however is not ideal.
My ambients were only around 22c, so if i do this ill just need some mosfet coolers to finish it off, some enzotechs look be ideal so i might try those.
What program did use to measure the temps?
I was using Everest and BIOS, both were mid 40s. Over 50c when benching 1,35v(ish) IOH.
You are not considering temperatures between 40 and 50 as overheating don't you? Cos I think thats pretty normal....What sent you that SB overheating warning? Speedfan or what?
Also this pic was taken from one review:
http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7590/48650711.jpg
no i have my gtx280 and the CPU running on a pa120.3, i wont add any more to the loop due to the koolance block being the 350 and requiring a fast flow to work at its best.Quote:
Originally Posted by coldilian

it keeps the temps low but you will need the mofset blocks as well.
also got the CPU PLL block in the loop to be on the safe side :)
Ok thanks for the help. I'am considering getting the Ek supreme LT block. The koolance looks good but it said it does best alone or as u said high flow. Any Chance u know how well a EK Block will work with Black ice GTX 360 Rad and Swiftech MCP655 Pump. Iam looking for now to just cool down my i7 only. 4GHZ on air with true 120 lapped with washer i get.
Max 80(Linx not prime temp)
Idle 39
Room temp is like 25-26 if i put ac on drop 5 degress or so.
Any ideas what i might get on water?
no idea
You might get 60-65 in Linx but 80 si still pretty safe. I would say it's the last "ok value". Don't forget that with stock intel cooler you can get all the way up to 75-80. That CPU is built tu handle such a temperature.... as far as you ar not putting more than 1.4V into it on air.
What V-core you have mate?
No that was a weird one, i was running LinX and when i restarted the PC to change a couple of settings when the BIOS gave the the SB overtemp warning.Quote:

If i have no fans anywhere near the NB/IOH sink it gets hot to the touch without even windows booted up.
Its not massive worry but i have the heat under control everywhere else so i will come up with sometihng for the board too.
Had a question about Vcore good u asked.
For my 4ghz oc i got.
1.34375(bios)
CPU-Z shows 1.336
HW monitor 1.34
Everest 1.35-1.4 happens when its in prime. The other 2 programs dont increase though. The LCD poster also shows identical to everest. I dont understand how it will increase if i set it in bios 1.34.
if you use a Digital voltmeter and check the readings you might see ya boards overvolts the Vcore once load goes up... CPU-Z doesn't respond at all and gives idle voltage on my OS... My board is also plagued by this phenomena
Well almost all boards are undervolting... in other words.... the reality is lower than is set in bios. So that's ok.Quote:

80 degrees, 1.35 Vcore and 4Ghz on air.... I think you are ok m8
Well hopefully ill get Water cooling so ill lower the temps. Just trying to understand the whole barbs and compression sizes first.
has anything materialised regarding the new revision of this board? the b3 or v2 etc
That would suck them releasing a v2/b3 board after i just purchased one though.......
Good Day
I ordered up an MCW-NBMAX, i see if that cools it any better.
I have been running LinX HT on 1.375v 21x216 and i can see the clock frequency fluctuate in CPUz (4.53gz->4.3Ghz), C1E is off and speedstep is not where the manual says it should be, would you guys know what causes this?
I also have that CPU clock fluctuation (even under heavy load) and haven't figured out yet why :shrug: SpeedStep is shown in the BIOS only when the AI overclock tuner is set to AUTOQuote:

Of course that would not look at good as yours, funny how a forced work around can end up as a nice feature.
Did you find it did the business for the NB and SB?
Thanks for the pic, it is appreciated.:)
I can go 4,6Ghz with 1,476v
So your Problem is your x2
Lots of x58 boards have a problem witg x2 cards
with NV and Ati same problem
You need on the ioh min 1,25v with 2 x X2 to become it stable
Sorry for my english ^^
i hope you have no fan on the Bord ?
It is a very big Problem for Oc
Thanks for that, i will check IOH when i get home.:)Quote:

Thanks Marvin,
I will take the two motherboard fans off tomorrow if my NB block arrives.
I have increased some voltages to try to stabilise the x2 CF.

I haven't seen any problems connecting fans to the board's power connectors, they're there to be used, not like they take away power from the cpu or anything, they're on a different rail.Quote:
