The EVGA doesnt have a 1x pcie slot at the top. All slots are covered by cards in tri sli, this is why I didnt buy the EVGA board.

WOW!! What NB cooler is that? Or is it a modded cpu heatsink?Quote:

Damn, I guess it's only available in danmaork or Germany.....I am going to test the Thermalright hr05/sli ifx then this week...
I love this board, absolutely amazing. :)
Hey guys,
My first post, build, oc everything. :)
I just finished assembling a with Rampage II extreme, I7 920, 6GB of Corsair Dominator 1600 sticks. I can OC it to easily to get 191x20 (191x21 with Turbo) at 1.4125V for Vcore and it posts, boots fine and runs fine. I can even run OCCT fine unless, I check the 'Hyperthreading as dualcore' option (it is not checked by default) and then the tests usually fail. So I am not sure if option is required for a good measure of stable system or am I expecting too much? I should mention that it even failed once at stock speed with this option when I did a 1hour run, but worked after that it worked fine (it worked fine even with 180bclk after that). So I am now all confused about what is a good measure of what is considered 'stable'?
TIA
Does the HR-05 SLI/IFX fit ok on this board?Quote:

You need to raise vCore, HT taxes the CPU much more so you need a bit more voltage. Hyper threading enables 2 threads out of each core & it's one of the main features of Core i7 CPU's, in real life very few apps take advantage of it, but having it enabled is always good & boosts performance.Quote:

Hi i just got a rampage 2 and will be installing shortly. What is the current best bios to use? Also can someone share a good template for a 4ghz oc. Im air cooling with thermalright ultra 120. I have the corsair dominator kit 3x2gb 1600mhz 8-8-8-24.
Oneself uses 0804 BIOSQuote:

4GHz is good at around 1.42V
Here is a pic, I had to bend it a bit so it wouldnt hit the liquid cooling tube. You probably won't have to though, Scaramonga.....;)Quote:

What is the best settings for high BCLK? How high BCLK can this board do on normal cooling?
Many thanks Bringer :):) was waiting to see your pics, I will grab one for myself then ;)Quote:

Oh......and I take it board requires removing for fitting?
Is that as high as you can go on 1.55 vcore?Quote:

Try running everything stock and raising the multi to get around 4.4- 4.5! It doesnt seem rasing BCLCK gives you that much more performance comparing to higher CPU Clocks
Even 1.4V work if they do not do PrimeQuote:

The temps at full load@4.2ghz is between 40c-43c dependind on the temp in my room!! yes it is smaller, but that nb copper part is much larger than the actual x58 NB. You won't have to bend it like I did, I just had to make it fit under the watertube. If I had more tubing slack I would not have needed to do that....;)Quote:

Does anybody know what this bios fixes??
Awesome buddy :) Many thx for that :) Have ordered one, hope it gets here for Xmas lol!.Quote:

Oh, and wouldn't the Non-SLI version (HR-05/IFX) have cleared your tubes? or was it just too tight?
I am not sure if the non-sli one would have cleared the tubes as I don't have one.....I had this hr05Sli/ifx left over from cooling a SB on my 790i Ultra I had before!
Does the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium fit in the top PCI sli slot while still using the stock northbridge heatsink? :shrug:
No, its doesn't You either have to cut some of the fins off the original heatsink. It is easily replaceable many old heatsinks that were compatible with nforce 2 motherboards or the Thermalright hr-05 sli which I modded to fit.....
I'm getting the same sound card but with two 4870x2 watercooled, do you think you can recommend me a NB cooler please?Quote:

No SCP (crackling /popping) in games ?
I modded my NB to fit the x-fi titanium in the top slot of my Rampage II and It sounds perfect. I had non stop crackling and snapping on my old 790i board. No such problems on any of the X58 boards as far as I have heard!! Now, my question! I accidently pulled out all of the wire of my lcd poster from the little socket that plugs into the motherboard. Can anyone show me a picture of the wires of what order thay are in??:shrug:Quote:

Mine works like a charm, i'm impressed. Even if it doesn't reach the heights of a real X-Fi like the one i had, it's real good and after 3 or 4 days i don't even remember i had it :rolleyes:Quote:

My top card gets too damned hot. IMO they could have just lost the last pcie slot/and or the pci slot in between and spaced the two that MATTER further apart.
As a pro, this is the most stable board I have ever worked with. I have never been able to go right in, jack the bclock up to 200 and run at 4ghz without something crying on me. I know the board has a lot that most won't use, but i find everything about it being worth the proce I paid even a month after first getting it. Love it, and I recommend it to anyone who is hardcore...but I have to recommend watercooling with crossfire or SLI for the reasons I mentioned.
I agree to that one seems the rampage boards have always been stable from the get go unless you get DOA.Quote:

Is anything still broken with it? Is LLC fixed and working properly?
Absolutely. Im running dead stable since march when the bios matured. Extremely stable en fast board. Running 4.2 ghz with a i7 920 C0 stepping on all 4 cores. But Lynnfield has been launched today. So an Core i7 870 and a P55 board is also a good choice...............Quote:

I guess am glad I going watercooling and saw that before trying it
Hi, could you re-post picture from your northbridge mod with HR-05 SLI. Your last link expired. Thanks!Quote:

Seems i found the solution how to fix in on Russian forums, but i need the original EEPROM file (not damaged) from both ports to reflash my board w key for device ID and my mac address. Can anyone help me w it, and send it?
There is main steps to save EEPROM:
Download marvell program:
http://depositfiles.com/files/8w1i4wpxz
Or from official marvell site (seems its the same programm):
http://www.marvell.com/support/downloads/search.do
DOS Diagnostic Utility for Yukon Devices
2. Disable in Bios 2nd Lan
WARNING! DO NOT RUN eep.bat FROM DOS it could lead to problems w LAN
3. Boot to DOS (from bootable DOS drive) and do: yukonvpd -R save.raw
4. Send me save.raw file
5. Do this for 2nd port (im not sure that its needed cause maybe they are powered w same chip so i just need to flash two different macs, but plz do it, so i don't have to bother u once more)
Russian ASUS support not sending me the EEPROM files and service center too (warranty already ended), so i will be very greatfull for your help.
Already got the files, no need anymore.
My Rampage 2 extreme board shorted out and died. Does anybody have one for sale on here that i could buy until Haswell-E comes out?
It works flawlessly for 7 years :up:
