Sorry to hear about your loss Zeus.:(

Hopefully the cpu is still alive and kicking though.:)

Thanks man.

I tried the cpu in a P5W DH deluxe and although that board doesn't officially support 45nm cpu's it didn't boot.

Now that doesn't look good at all. :(

We'll have to see when the new RE comes in.

Are you sure?? Cause I am pretty sure that there was a bios update to support the E8600.
11-30-2009, 01:34 PM

Could be but i haven't updated the bios on that board for ages. :D It has an E4500 running in it and that works great. With my E8600 in it there was no post whatsoever. :(

The cpu isn't lapped but i don't know if it's still under warrenty, it's over a year old.

my mobo rampage extreme is dead
and my retailer dont have anymore this motherboard
how i can to have a replacement from asus?
thank you

Leeghoofd

mail tech support, prepare to ship the mobo, and hope you have at least 3-5 weeks patience to get a repaired one

but normally ya vendor should take care of that the first two years...

Hey guys, thanks!

Anyone know the ropes to boot stable with low volts at 600x8.5 2001Mhz DDR3 cl8?

I tried a lot of stuff but it just needs a heck of more volts to get into Win7, like 1.75nb and 1.7vcore etc...

What kind of settings I have to look at to get that 600Mhz working good?
12-27-2009, 10:19 AM
Leeghoofd

Maybe give 333 strap a go mate, with it I need only 1.55NB voltage and 1.35ish VTT to get 600FSB and 1920Mhz C7-8-7-20 fully stable on air, however I PL is 9 and clock twister set to Moderate. but very nice clocks for daily use. For benching most use the 266strap with 2:3 divider for high +600FSB clocks

For benchign turn off Loadline calibration when pushing high volts !! (at least that's what everyone told me to do to not waste the Samsung chip on the backside )

Hey Leeghoofd,

I guess you are right the culprit is the 200 strap. I was getting Memtest #7 errors no matter the volts.

I was able to fine tune some settings that I never touched before to get lest errors on Memtest #7:

nb skew from auto to 100ps
nbddrref from auto to +50mv

I guess the key to stability lies on those settings for each setup.

I tried to fine-tune the other settings like cpu skew and ddrchA and chB with no luck it keep giving me more Memtest #7 errors.

I still have a lot to learn here.

Strap 333 made all those errors go away :up:

its been a while i remember priming 600x7.5 and a run @ 600x8
i do remember nb @ 1.75 333-400strap
i bumped sb +.05
i got a set of 2x2 adata2k cas9 comin in hopefully they will be hypers

its been awhile for me as well but i have this SS with voltages.
maybe it can help.i think my ref voltages were all on auto.

@ZSAM AND RADAJA

Thanks guys,

I'll give 600fsb a try problem is when you are using 8.0 to 8.5 multi is a hole different story on cpu-vtt-pll adds a lot of pressure to the OC. I'm discovering some interesting things on some settings, too bad I don't have much time to test stability on this board, it needs to go freeze fast :-)

10x600 on Linx?! Gonna xplode any cooling solution you throw in.

I'll save that for benching under LN2 ;)
12-27-2009, 02:51 PM

Stuff Linx, do you think you need that stability for benching ? I only Memtest my settings ( test 5 and 7 ) then test with 7 multi under air and then we mount the phase or pot :p

linX you crazy it would :explode: even @ 500x9 gets damn hot
linx so much harder n hotter than prime
you dont need no prime for benchin neither lol

I just like to get the 'hang' of the board before benching it Leeg. "You can only see the scratches in your car once you wash it yourself" :yepp:

So far the board is very steady and darn fast. Tested 600x8.5 yesterday and passed 3hrs Prime95 with my new settings.

So I moved on to 600x9 :devil: Let's see how this will fair.

Cooling used was a modest OCZ Cryo-Z single stage. This is more for 24/7 use I'm moving on to a Dual Stage just for benching and the Cryo-Z is up for SALE.

Very nice work Jor3lBR, the REX is the most fun board I have ever used bar none. You will have a great time with it for sure. Makes me want to dust off mine and buy a PSU for it so I can bench again.......

Thank you Cryptik don't hear from you in a while!

A lot of your posts here and on i4memory helped me to get this board 600x8.5 prime stable :up:

Too bad I run out of cooling power to try to go further, it's a very solid board and easy to use. I will get it cold this month and put some results under it's belt before I part away with all my 775 stuff.

I never went back after mine died though, got a refund and went AMD again which is lots of fun clocking too but not as much as the RE.

Pushing FSB and memoryclocks on this board is addictive stuff. :)

Good to hear some of my info came in handy. You are going very well so far, will be very interested to see how you go with a better phase unit or LN2.

I've been away from things for a few months now, had to build a PC for my GF out of some gear I used for benching and haven't replaced it. Built an i7 system to use which I don't bench, and have been pursuing some other things. I still drop in from time to time to see what's happening here though, I do miss it.

That's too bad, you were going really well with it too before it died. It's good that you're enjoying the AMD stuff though, and that's what's important.

Nice work there rurik. The hard part will probably be getting Prime Large FFT's stable at high FSB with 2 x 2GB. Your NB is on water though, so you should have a good chance.

if you plan on using 2x2 ram be smart and get gigabut ud3p or ud3r
rex will be limited with 2x2 ram i got to 500fsb with 2x1 only
01-14-2010, 04:45 AM
CryptiK

It might be a decent combination, the Gigabyte DDR3 P45 boards aren't the best performers ram wise either, especially with quads.

Since you will have an unlocked CPU, and it will top out around 4 GHz with decent voltage (~1.45 vcore) you could feasibly run 400 x 10 for 4GHz, and run the ram on the 1:2 divider for DDR3-1600 MHz and it should have no problems whatsoever. Lots of ram types will do DDR3-1600 MHz so if thats what you are happy with, you have a lot of choice.

However running DDR3-2000 MHz on a Rampage Extreme with a quad is just not going to happen.

1. rex will be limited with 2x2 ram (is better 4x1 ?)
2. Gigabyte DDR3 P45 boards aren't the best performers (best mobo for Quad QX9650 Extreme ? X48 or P45 ?)
3. running DDR3-2000 MHz on a Rampage Extreme with a quad is just not going to happen.( so is better DDR3-1600 MHz with 6 CAS then 2000Mhz with 8 CAS; just for my quad)
my cpu is unlocked and i use air cooling and 24/7.
pls help.

best board i have ever used is the rex but when i had a q9650 i bought a ud3r
the board just loves micron d9gtr 1gb sticks even 4x1

Just a heads up since you want to use Dominator GT memory. Be careful when using them on the REX, don't enable XMP profiles, this will increase your vPLL and vtt to crazy high values that will kill your CPU rather fast. I read some horror stories on German forums.

1. rex will be limited with 2x2 ram (is better 4x1 ?) REX likes Micron 1GB GTR sticks, however I have used 2 x 2GB Corsair Dominator GT's with no problems, but with a quad getting DDR3-1600+ stable will be difficult. It wont be a very 'flexible' setup, as I suggested, 400 x 10 & DDR3-1600 MHz is probably your best bet - look back a page though Rurik got his quad stable at 490 FSB using 2 x 2GB so it can be done

2. Gigabyte DDR3 P45 boards aren't the best performers (best mobo for Quad QX9650 Extreme ? X48 or P45 ?) Best board for quad FSB overclocking is Gigabyte P45 UD3P/UD3R (DDR2 version with some exceptions - see user by the name of Jor3lBR in UD3P thread he has great results with DDR3 version) but since you have an older EE, you're limited by max clock and its unlocked so you could use an X48 and dont really need to OC the FSB so high.

3. running DDR3-2000 MHz on a Rampage Extreme with a quad is just not going to happen.( so is better DDR3-1600 MHz with 6 CAS then 2000Mhz with 8 CAS; just for my quad) DDR3-1600 @ 6-7-6-18 has very good performance for 24/7 use, most people with i7's don't even run DDR3-2000 MHz

my cpu is unlocked and i use air cooling and 24/7.
pls help.

Nah it's just marketing. They will probably run fine on the REX, but I'm not sure 100% as I've never used that particular kit. My Corsair Dominator GT 1866C7's are 'designed for i7/X58' but I have no troubles using just 2 sticks of the 3 in the kit on my REX.

The DDR3 version is the P45T-UD3P

Avoid P45 and DDR3 mate... the boards only work at decent ram speeds with a limited number of ram types... just buy a P45 DDR2 version for best FSB clocks.

The REX will do 400-450FSB dead easy with a quad... with 2GB dimms stay sub 1950Mhz for easy tweaking... the closer you get to 2000Mhz the harder she is to stabilise...Just buy rams that can do 1800Mhz to have some headroom... preferably low voltage ones

For high FSB clocks = +475FSB and more : P45 with DDR2 ---> Best mobo's : Gigabyte P45-UD3P and DFI P45 (need to look up exact name)

DDR2 rams go with 1066Mhz rams Cas 5...

For Use with DDR3 = you can try the Rampage Extreme but limit yourself to 450FSB max for daily use ( as it will be doable at acceptable CPU VTT and NB voltages ), I've benched on the REX with +500FSB but CPU VTT and NB Voltages were set at insanely high settings ( 1.7NB voltage, CPU VTT 1.55 )

For the DDR3 rams go with Low Voltage 2Gb dimms ( foreseen to be used in future I5/7 rigs) wich are able to do eg 1800mhz ( as this would be the ideal ram speed to be used when running eg FSB 450 ) eg Gskill Ripjaws PC1600C9 or Corsair Dom PC14400C8,...

I haven't run the REX with 4 dimms, but I would never do that anyway...just stick with 2 dimms...
01-15-2010, 09:16 AM

so, as I said, for 4Gz on Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Rev C0 with air cooling :

best for ddr2 is P45 :Gigabyte P45-UD3P and DFI P45 (pls tell exact name) @ DDR2 (2x2) 1066Mhz Cas 5
best for ddr3 is X48 :REX @ Corsair Dom PC14400 C8
and best of dd2 and ddr3 is ?

what are your intentions Beginer1 ? Setup a daily gaming rig ? or A bench rig ? If it's for a daily platform don't waste cash on Uber ram. You won't feel the difference between C7 or9, nor between running rams at 1600mhz or 2000mhz... it's all in between ya ears !! and like said runnign 2000mhz with hyper rams is a no no, unless you love to tweak and mess hours in the bios and liek to watch days of Memtest to get it stable...

Depends on your budget and what you want really. You essentially have narrowed it down to 2 choices:

1)Gigabyte P45 UD3P + 4GB DDR2-1066
2)Rampage Extreme + 4GB DDR3-1600

The choice is yours, for daily use I doubt you could tell the difference between the 2 setups, so just get what you are most comfortable with or is the cheapest.

Bus 400 x multiplier 10 for 4GHz, and the ram on the 1:2 divider for DDR2-1066 MHz is corect?

No, at 400 FSB using a 1:2 divider, you get 1600 MHz as I said earlier, not 1066 MHz. You can only run the 1:2 divider at 400 FSB using a DDR3 board.

Don't worry about that for now you'll figure it out later on.

When you get your P454 UD3P and ram, post on the UD3P thread and the guys there will help you sort out the best settings :up:

I'm still on 775 and I don't wanna go away from this socket :up:

Now I have for some testing RE and I play with my 2 x 2GB A-Data 2000 ; with my daily setup this ram is clocking at 1600 CL6-8-6-16 ( some times 14;) ), but on this mobo A-Data can hmm fly ?

For cold water bench I use 1900 at the same timings ( CL6 ... ) , now I prepare some di bench, and I wanna test, how muoch this ram can go ...

Now I have this, I know this is only 32M spi, but some stable settings is here ;) Not bad for a 2 x 2GB CL7 kit on X48

Nice work, I had some fun with Elpida Hypers & REX also Here I got very close to sub 11mins at just under 4GHz with that setup.

Should be able to hit ~DDR3-1820 @ CL6 and DDR3-2000 CL7 for SPI32M, might take a little more than rated voltage though.

P45 DDR3 boards are difficult to get stable. Many people who had the P5Q3 board sold it as it was very difficult to work with. Not many people have had much luck with the EP45T either.

If you want one of either, you're best to post in the board threads to get some advice from those who use them.

I haven't used any Quads on the REX yet but thanks for the tip. I also heard that an old BIOS like 0301 or 0304 are the best for above 6Ghz and D9GTR's...

Thanks guys, I have yet to try different benches. I focused on PCMark yesterday. I have 300+ hardware points so pushing the setup beyond 6Ghz for 2D would not give any immediate results. I'll try to post more results as I have them coming.

Hehe I know, but I've sold almost everything and left myself with the bare minimum now. I only have 2 kits of DDR3, both Elpida 2 x 2GB, with one kit in use 24/7.

If you are going to buy a CPU, make sure its a killer batch; they're much more satisfying. However I advise you to stay firmly on the wagon, much safer up there.

Ok, that's good.

I can't give you settings, i used different settings all the time, different dividers,different straps and different values for AI transaction booster.

I am so into AMD right now that i seem to have forgotten most from this platform. :D

I always used 7-6-5-18 tfrc 48 timings and for DDR1900+ i used 2.25V.

For high memclocks and high FSB i used +12,5mV for Dram ref Voltage on both channels.

Flip back to around page 100 on this thread and you will find a number of screens/posts from me telling the info you will need. Or at least most of it. ;)
