Yes, control for it is there, but it doesn't have a voltage readout for what the actual voltage is next to it like IOH PCIe voltage and the other voltages in the image.
THAT is what we're talking about... We know the ability to control it is there, we just can't see what the actual voltage is.
I'm going to have to chime in here so Sanousie doesn't feel he's the only one who experienced this..
When I first got my R3E last year, I swear I went through the same thing as Sanousie. I thought I saw a ICH PCIE Voltage readout until I changed a setting or something and it disappeared. I even made a thread on ASUS Support Forums. I was told and convinced that there never was a readout..although I originally thought there was.
So I wouldn't dismiss what he's saying so quickly. Although my board never showed the ICH PCIE Voltage readout again, I also swear that when I first bought it and booted it up the readout WAS there.
This is my thread from last year: ICH PCIE Voltage Disappears
I have had 901, 0003 & 1301 installed and neither has had ICH PCIE shown under Voltage Monitor in the BIOS. It is also something that I do not ever recall seeing.
I am confused. From the link on the first page of this tread I downloaded from Station Drivers and installed Chipset Software Installation Utility & Chipset Device Software 9.2.3.1016 WHQL dated 4/22/2011.
All of the X58 items in Device Manager under System devices show the drivers as 9.1.1.1026 dated 2/8/2010. All of the Intel 82XXX and ICH10 drivers show up as Microsoft drivers 6.1.7601.17514 dated 6/21/2006.
Why don't the 9.2.3.1016 drivers show up anywhere?
Hi
I need some advice on what would be some good memory to put into my computer, everything is standard at this stage and would later like to have a go at overclocking.
CPU i7 970, Rampage 3 extreme, 3x4gb gail 1333, Thermaltake 875w, thermaltake level 10 gt case, thermaltake wc cooling, GTX 590
I run 12g RedLine 998691 @ 6-7-6-18 great oc'ing sticks, plays nice in the RIIIE...Here's a link to Mushkin's site...http://www.mushkin.com/Memory/Redline.aspx
Some new gear :)
New storage and boot drives: 2 x WD 1TB Caviar Blacks, 1 x Crucial M4 128GB - mounted in cage, anti vibration mount feet custom mounted to bay after drilling holes, fan sleeved (courtesy of MDPC of course)

12GB Dominator Hypers - just testing
http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/w...ne/edit1-1.jpg
very cool build mate, black or white ram heatspreaders would have topped it all off
Agreed very nice build indeed. And even better pics honestly! The dominators are looking delicious :)
The ram heatspreader fins are actually made of aluminum. So if you are feeling fancy you can have them anodized in whichever color you like ;)
P.S. I have my drives mounted in almost identical fashion in my Lian Li drive cage. My X25-M 80GB on top, then the two 1TB Hitachi in RAID0 on bottom. But my drives are oriented horizontally.
Thanks guys. Still have some things to go, have to finish sleeving the 24 pin, 8 pin EPS, and the sata power cables. I was thinking of getting 90mm fans for the rear with white blades, and getting the ram heatsinks powder coated matt or satin white (everything else is black on black with nickel+acetal blocks), but things have just got in the way since then and I've not got around to it. I just need to do those couple of things, powder coat the drive holder in the above pics black to match the rest of the case interior, and get the acrylic MurderMod top panel (or have a replica made) and I'll finally be able to call it done.
My RIIIE is quite unhappy at the moment. A bit of eraser in the socket, lots of Vaseline everywhere, and a night in the dishwasher makes a board full of problems :(
My 980x is here. Batch 3005F742
Haven't seen many reliable results about the batch. Just one guy running 27x160 for 4.3ghz on 1.35v... Hopefully this one is as good as his! I'm also hoping for another good IMC.
Yeah the F batches have been a bit variable, hope yours is a good performer :D
So far it looks good!
Currently doing 4.4GHz HT on with 1.45v and 32C ambient(89F). UCLK seems a *little* better than my 970, but only marginally.
My 970 needed 1.5v to hit 4.4, and I never did it with an ambient this high.
Core Temps are topping out at 91C with coolant temp of 39C.
Quick question:
Has anyone heard about this board having intermittent warning beeps for no apparent reason by chance? I know there are a few videos of it on youtube, but they seem to be different than my annoying beeps. My board will beep at extremely odd times and for no apparent reason what so ever. I can have it freezing cold in here or a hot summer day, gaming or logged off, but every now and then say 2 to 3 times a week for about 5 to 20 minutes or so it will begin this loud beeping. 1 second on 1 second off and the duration of beeps changes from say 3 beeps to as much as 14 beeps, then goes away for a few minutes and then starts all over again. Finally it stops and goes away for either a week or two or for just a few hours or a few days. EXTREMELY intermittent... Immediately checking all temps and voltages show spot on perfect exactly where youd want them for a non overclocked system. Also, can someone tell me where the damn little speaker is so I can rip it off the next time it interrupts one of my movies again please?
Thanks

Well the R3E does not have a buzzer/speaker built in, so all you have to do is disconnect the 'SPEAKER' cable that comes from your case which you have plugged into your motherboard (bottom right-hand corner).
As for the beeping, I'm not sure as I have never heard of it or experienced it myself. Have you tried a different PSU? Perhaps it's a built in alarm for when there is not enough power being supplied by the PSU.
@SkOrPn:
Could it be some monitoring program running for hours/days and going berserk?
Nevermind my noobish ass, yeah I searched long and hard for a buzzer on this thing thinking it was more like the kind you find in an alarm watch or smartphone (Hiding underneath the heatsink perhaps) to no avail but then last night i looked at good images of this board without the heatsinks on and well I still did not see any buzzer of any kind. So, since my TJ07 is turned to its side and the front of the case is facing a corner wall I could not see my fan controller was the culprit and apparently one of my four fan zones is dropping below 300 rpm every now and then and the controller most definitely has a buzzer to warn me. LOL, my bad, Im so lazy that it took me months (maybe a year now this has been going off) to even break down and investigate it. Thankfully turning the dial on that fan lets me select the off mode. Also I have spare fans brand new always waiting for just such an event so all is well.
Thanks
Read above, lol...
Hey donmarkoni, I been meaning to ask you. Can I use your bios template on page 3 as a good starting point to quickly find a happy OC and stable voltages? Just curious as its really close to what Im looking for which is somewhere between 3.5 to 4.0 and bclk no higher than 200. Not sure what my memory is capable of but not really interested in overclocking it. After my production mobo died this rig became my production rig and houses everything with my business, so cant use settings that has any chance of prematurely killing something. Also, this motherboard runs hot even at idle IOH and ICH are in the lower to mid 60's, so I am finally going to fire up my netbook and try to use it for my biz while I remove the RIIIE and redo my loop and clean up the tim on the stock asus heatsink. I have AS5 and Ceramique in high abundance here so will redo the tim, that is if the baked on stuff will even let go, lol. I also want to lower the 5870 down to the bottom x16 slot to try and get it away from the Intel chip. Ive noticed when gaming that my temps on the board sky rocket even tho the 5870 has rear exhausting duct. So I got a MCW82 sitting here in the box never used, so Im going to finally install that and keep the asus memory sink on and hope the extra memory heat does not effect the chipset so drasticly. Lowering it to the bottom x16 slot should help Im thinking.
Anyway, I have never found the time to play with this board as I worked 14 hours a day for the last 6 years, but now Im unemployed and want to safely play around with it, lol... I have a early model i7-930 DO that I purchased just days after it became avail so I assume I can safely use settings originally meant for the i7-920? Thanks for any ideas you may be willing to share.
SkOrPn
Yes, of course. :up: But maybe you should use some later template, like this one. Post your BIOS template when you start, so we can comment it together.
About IOH/ICH temps, you do the TIM change, but if you didn't use fans before, maybe that was causing high temps.
I hope that 930 to be good as it is early model.
Hello,
R3E at home, I wanted to know what bios is best? then it is possible to downgrade a bios? if so what version is it afudos, thank you
Ok cool, I will use those as a beginning point. This cpu ran at 4.5 before without issues but I had problems with something else and was forced to go back to stock settings, and just never found the time to come back, lol... Yes I never did install the fan/heatsink asus supplied with the mobo, so Im thinking of doing so finally also. Being a truck driver, I never did find time to mess around, but having a case such as the tj07, I really wanted to populate it with something that looked good, and at the time, to my eyes anyway, it was the RIIIE.
Hey, I'm a customs agent (everything connected to customs clearing and stuff), so I know long work hours, we are in same :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:, I mean business. :D
4.5GHz? It's a good one. :up:
:toast:
EDIT: This new forum version is smart, I used "!" insted of "i", but it recognized :banana::banana::banana::banana: from a mile. :rofl:
