Did you try to lower the vcore?Quote:

thats only 10 loop run plus used 2k memory - hard to call it stable.
Can anyone advise me...I have updated to BIOS 0011 beta on both BIOS chips but still cannot see some of the new options.
Everyone will have their own definition of stability but I think at a minimum you need to run the max. problem size and and all available memory. Also, I would run 20 loops to see if you are stable.Quote:

The other USB was taken by the ROG_Connect port, which can also be used as a standard USB port if wished. and yes, half of the bluetooth connector is really standard USB pin out. If you are never going to use RC Bluetooth feature, you can always pull it out, and use the side with 6 pins (the lower row) as the USB port. Pin out should be (from left to right) +5V,USB-,USB+,GND. The remaining two pins are for RC bluetooth, so it should not be covered at all.
question on the bios button in the corner I can't find any info on it, Hows it work? And does the PC have to be off to switch it?
Hello!
Do you think there will be any problem using my old S775 (intel q6600) Swiftech water block on my Rampage 3 Extreme motherboard?
There is some kind of metal on the back of the motherboard that is blocking, but i did manage to fasten the screws and it's up and running
Here are some pictures:
http://flickr.com/gp/runevenes/RX237m Right click on them and select lagre/orginal for higher resolution.
Thanks!
Edit:
It's a I930 i7 cpu.
Running Linx now, im still at stock speed, and in real temp they are crawling up to about 70-75C
Is this normal?
Think i must do somthing with that WB...
i think its normal
Uhm! I removed everything, out of the case with it, took off the WB and had a look...
Dont you think that Swiftech had put a plastic protetcing thing on the WB?
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4084/...03bd2c62_b.jpg This is before it was removed.
Btw, it have worked for months in my old setup, so i dunno how much it had so say, but it's removed now!
Temps are down to around 50c with linx running.
Looking better!
One of the main reason for the removal of everything was taht i forgot to install the bluetooth RC thingy!

tnx !
Yes i had a plastic cover on my WB from swiftech, need to take that off before you mount it !!Quote:

Also, if your getting BSODs check what the errors are (e.g. 101, 124) because that will give you a clue. There is a great OC guide on the EVGA forum which tells what the causes are for the various errors you will see. I don't have the link handy but if I can find I will PM you. Enjoy!
You guys think I'll be ok running it at this and still get a long life out of the chip, I ran LinX for awhile seems pretty stable.
Nevermind....
Which one? Try Enabling Extreme OV and see if that shows whats missing. ;)Quote:

@Everyone: Please show UnCore speed (NB in CPU-Z, memory tab) or just state it, when asking for confirmation on adequate voltages.
I can run QPI @ 4000 (8000) with 1.2V VTT, with low UnCore, but for 4000 UnCore 1.475V is needed while QPI is at 3600 (7200).
Yes still testing lower vcore, im @ 1.32 now..Quote:

that is actually how i test stability.. more gflops hence more stable right ?
Please correct me if wrong..
TNX for advices
Please PM me the link.. i will head back to 3.8 and move up slowly !Quote:

I'm retarded I can't seem to find bios 1003. Where can I find it?
I have updated the OP with 0009, 0878, 0002, 0010 and 0011 bios versions and also your 0009 bios template.Quote:

I was thinking using Noctua NH-D14 to cool the 930 but it look like it restraint a lots of Ram choices , so if anyone have any idea , it would be nice to hear them (Either to recommand me a good Ram that would fit with the D14) or another cpu cooler with good ram .
I'm also confused about which PSU i should buy , i know that in the end ill have a second 460(when money will permit it ) 2 HDD 1 DVD burner 1 blu-ray drivers +1 SSD and probably some fans so will 750 watts be enough ?(Which PSU would you recommand)
Another big one , the case , i want something with enough room in it , used to have an antec 900 and its pretty good but i'm looking for a change , something like Cooler Master HAF X / ATCS840 / HAF 932 (Looking for best Airflow/Money Ratio )
My budget for the CPU cooler/PSU/RAM/Case is about 800 CAN , ill be shopping on ncix.com so items need to be available there , ill do a pricematch if i find them cheaper somewhere else anyway .
Thanks again and i hope i'm not in the wrong section :(
(Ps sorry for my english :( , its my second language)

Edit : Does it worth it buying a small SDD and to install windows 7 on it then games/media on a HDD ?
well with the 2nd gtx460 in the future I would go with an 750/850w power supply.

:up: thanks dude =) u is tha king :D
Hey, PytonOrm, did you manage to kill your 980X? ;)
And how about 1004 ? Any opinions :)
Yesterday, I tested some BIOS (0704/9124/1003/0011) under LN2.
I think "9124" is best BIOS under LN2.
It's very stable & good score than other BIOS.:)
(Unfortunately, My chip can not improved CBB & CB by "0704")

Are there still issue with the microcode? and 3rd party temp viewers?
Realtemp and Coretemp for example?
I do not test "1004".Quote:

You need to raise your uncore frequency up to at least twice that of your DRAM frequency, you're running it too low and the memory controller won't be able to handle cycles at that slow of a speed. (First post here! ;) )Quote:

It is. He has a Gulftown, and Gulftowns only need the uncore @1.5x DRAM.Quote:

During POST, stress testing, are you receiving a BSOD, or just hard locking? You may also wish to enable QPI LLC with the jumper on board (even 1.55v VTT did not accomplish stability, but this setting w/ 1.4v managed to.) , as that, coupled with upping PCIe freq + disabling VT got me from 4.2GHz - 4.6GHz stable with this board on an i7 930.
First step would just be raising vcore. With a good chip, vcore in the range of 1.30 to 1.33175 should get you to 4.2 ghz, Linpack stable.Quote:

I have go from 1.25vcore to 1.29v to get 4Ghz and even then its not 100% stable. Need some hints in how to OC this mobo more effectively. I need VT enabled.
Asus ROG connect just stopped working!
There is no bios settings for that?
Just the button on the back right?
Stopped on bluetooth too!
Changing the CPU PLL Voltage can help in lower your V-Core, dunno what the default Settings are for i7 980x but at my rig for example i lowered the CPU PLL from 1.80 to 1.40 and was able to lower my V-Core for 2 notches. So try lowering it a bit it depends. I read some times ago that a more clear Voltage is better than a high Voltage (1.40 vs 1.88 e.g for i7 920)Quote:

Hi everybody.
i've been researching this thread for a little while now and have been trying to get my new system stable at 4.2Ghz. I have experimented with PLL (1.4 - 1.8) and CPU voltage (1.25 - 1.35) but have consistently run into blue screens when benchmarking in PC Mark's Gaming test.
My system specs are: i7 930 (stock fan), Kingston 2000 DDR3 Triple, Silverstone 1500w, 8800GT.
If anyone has any advice on how I could get it stable at 4.2Ghz I would greatly appreciate it! Here are my bios settings:

Question where are you getting the BIOS code print out?
@donmarkoni
What's the downside to reducing CPU PLL for Bloomfield chips?
Thanks.
Someone suggested that my CPU may have become damaged, I have bought another i7 920, and the results are exactly the same, no signal to the monitors when I attempt to overclock.Quote:
Hi guys, great thread, learnt a lot from it
Over the weekend I added a ek-fb re3 waterblock and a Silverstone Strider 1500w psu to my system.
However, I now cannot overclock my system at all, when I change the Ai Overclock Tuner from Auto to Manual and exit the bios, the motherboard gives me the post beep as normal, power to my peripherals (keyboard, mouse etc) but no signal is sent to my monitors.
The only way I can get the motherboard to post properly is to clear the cmos, and everything works correctly at stock settings.
Previously I was running my I7 920 at 4GHz, 1.35V on the Vcore/QPI, 1.2 IOH, never tried anything extreme or out of the ordinary.
CPU is at 35-40oC and NB at 30-35oC, even so I put back the stock heatsink, but the problem remains.
The problem occurs on both bios chips (bios1 = 0802, bios2 = 0901), and when I set voltages manually.
Has anyone else had a similar experience, or any clue as to what is going on?
Many thanks,
Rhia
edit:
Also I have noticed that the motherboard now only detects 4GB of ram, whereas it used to detect 6GB
@Donmarkoni
didnt even see that, evo sux sometimes :).. crazy bug or something..
Ill do another run wit HT enabled
Did this happen when you changed cpu? 4GB?Quote:

Just to be clearer, whenever I exit bios, whether or not I make any changes, the problem occurs and I need to clear cmos to get the board to boot, below is an example of what I have tried on many occasions to get to work.

http://www.abload.de/thumb2/linx77er.jpg
Anyone here use the GO BUTTON or mess with it?
I've tried to set it so when I push it, it overclocks to a stable 4.2GHz that way I can run a lower clock of 3.6MHz 24/7 then when I need the boost for other things I can just push it.
Anyhow it locks up when I push it?
I know you can't change the Multiplyer just the FSB and voltages with it, Am I missing something?
1.33v vQPI and 2000MhZ for memory :eek:Quote:

That way I have a record of each combination that I try.Quote:

I've looked at the pins, and none appear to me to be off slightly, maybe it would be different under a magnifying glass...
As for warping, my 4850x2 and 4870 aren't that heavy, and I get the same results if I only use one card.
Does anyone else have any suggestions, or is the only option available to RMA the board?
Hi wheres is url for bios 1005 Thanks :up: mabe i can reach over 260 bclk with 1005 now :D allready at 256 with 1004
with a new Xeon, it's normal to have no fan (this normal) but also without protection (black cover) at the CPU?
Stable HT on..
Cant run it with 1.81 pll, errors every time..

Now raise BCLK !!
>_<
:D We demand bios 1005 now !!! :up: come on share it
I would love to try 1005, please share if you can.
Thanks FireWire for the presents ;) Using 1004 and it's wonderful :) The perfect gift :p:
Thanks donmarkoni, kurumi_Japan, and AceBaran for your opinions on the different bios'. With so many versions available it can get a bit confusing, especially for me since I don't get much time to test them all. Your thoughts are always appreciated thanks guys :up:
On a side note: I've noticed that the users are suggesting different bios' based on their setup, and the main difference I see is CPU. Seems for Bloomfields the new 1003 & 1004 are good, so I've decided to use 1004. It seems 9124 is favored for gulf.
Very nice bclk going on there. What bios?
0878! I like it because it's very strong with memory (though my memory isn't strong).
The biggest help with the BCLK was a PCI card and a PCI-E speed of 135MHz.
At 116 PCI-E, I was stuck at 254 BCLK, 118 PCI-E I got to 257.
I believe I maxed out the chip this time around before PCI-E came into play.
EDIT:
And here is why I HATE this board.

Sweet score, right? What happens if you raise the BCLK?
http://i747.photobucket.com/albums/x...rxx/P16356.png
It murders the score. This is the biggest POS 3D board in existence if you have to push 3D clocks. The two screenies were done with the same BIOS and all the same multipliers (with the exception of the IMC, I dropped one multi lower on the 221 BCLK run). Sorry I forgot to open the memory tab on the second one, but it gets the point across.
I spent $400 on this board, I had no idea that meant I might be lucky enough to have a board that is okay for pushing BCLK without slow mode enabled.
Is this a valid reason to RMA? Do I have a chance at getting a better board?
Cool thanks. I just grabbed a killer batch 3570 off EGay recently and will be testing soon on my III. :D
Nice! You should be able to get some sick clocks out of that! What kind of benching will you be doing?
Pretty much everything once I find the max stability. It is going in my CM torture case on dual remote loop glycol cooling which can be chilled. I just need to grab a 480 and another EK block.
@bassplayer "It murders the score. This is the biggest POS 3D board in existence if you have to push 3D clocks." +1000
other than that its a nice board but doesnt that just piss you off, at anything above 4500 or 215bclk my scores drop.
Yep. I love this board but that is a fatal flaw.
Have you always had these Bclock 3D drops. Or was it with the newer biosses ? I'll test tonite trying to replicate ya probs and I'll pass the info with your and mine screenies to the bios department guys...
Seems the Formula III has got similar issues... I hope for Asus it's a bios bug :p
Please share with us ;) link to download will be nice :DQuote:

i have some anoying issue that is driving me crazy for past few days, i got this board barnd new .
on every change on any value in bios board wont boot its just lights qled cpu and no post, then i have to turn of the psu and when board discharges then it posts, and when i go shut down computer from windows pc shuts down bott it cant post after that beefore i shut down the psu again, so to simplify board posts only if the board was discharged -.-
i repeat its brand new, tried everything two different psu corsair 650, seasonic 620, certified ocz ram all combinations, all bios settings default or overclocked, failsafe, bioses 0402,0704,0901,1004,0878, one o r two eps connectors, ez plugs, different graphic card, different slots what else could i do ;(
no warranty
i also have pci debug card which says 00 on no post
helppppppppppppp
I've had this issue as long as I've had the board. IOH was 1.3V both times and PCI was 110.
It would be amazing if this was a BIOS bug! That would explain the hard wall right a 4.0 QPI.
