0406 seems ta work, but no bugs to speak of !!
it came back as higher o/c than what i had before , with the settings that were on before .....soo i've been tryin' for higher but still workin' it 4.18 Ghz at one point but not stable in everest at full throttle .. 3.6 stable is easy .. gonna get back to 4 as before , putting the G.Skill's 1066 in right now as we speak see what that does any suggestions most welcome
Hey what's a rounding error in Prime mean ?
Your OC is unstable.
yeah , thought that's what it was ... I'll keep tryn' .. i'm stable at 3.6 but was tryin to get to near 4,0 I did at 3.99 on the older Bios maybe i'll go back & see if it will work agin
thanx 003:up:
the G.Skills 1066 work great .. gonna stick the ddr2-1000's on the other R/F MoBo
Are the g.skill 8500's better than the 8000's, do they use the same ic's, i just ordered the 8000's i didnt even see the 8500's for 5 bucks more, it hasnt shipped yet, should i cancel and order the 8500's???
Bios 0406 is completely incomaptible with Adaptec Raid Controller 3405. Computer won't boot with "CPU init" message on LCD poster. It took me hours to isolate the problem. I had to disassemble the whole system to understand that Adaptec controller was a problem. I already decided that I killed my RF during flashing, and even went to shop and bought Celeron 420 to try another CPU instead of Q9450. Nothing helped till I removed Adaptec card. Uff...tired of all these things..
Maybe this applies to you too: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...7&#post3043117
I posted earlier the specifics http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...181921&page=20
ASUS sent me a new motherboard (thanks ASUS :)). Crucial sent me new RAM (thanks Crucial:)) . I'm still having memtest errors :brick:.
I increased tRFC as Reatlelstar suggested. I dropped timings to 5-5-5-14 and had tRFC up to maximum, around 132 if I recall correctly. This is at 800mhz.
It's starting to look like the RAM just isn't compatible. The DDR2 800 2x2Gb Ballistix aren't on the QVL for the Rampage, but the 2x1Gb Ballistix are. I've talked to Crucial and they have mentioned that they did test the RAM on the Rampage (at least one of the customer service reps mentioned this, I don't know how accurate this info is.) I haven't talked to Crucial since yesterday. Thirty minutes on hold sucks on a cell phone.
Is there anything that you guys can see that I am overlooking.
I'm probably just gonna get some G.Skill RAM since everyone else is doing it (peer pressure).
Do you think Crucial can give me a refund since there product doesn't work (it's way past the 30 day mark)? Would it be ethical to sell them when I'm not 100% sure that the Ballistix are good?
It seems the G.Skill has the best luck so far with the Rampage. So I'm assuming the 0406 bios increase fsb overclocking (from above post)?
Can i use my X-FI titanium in the black pci-e 1.0 slot??? or is that only for the supreme fx audio card??
I think you can, its just a normal pci-e slot.
edit. nevermind

Please post your findings...
