Bios version is 1005 and the mobo is on air.
QPI is high because i run my ram at 2000Mhz and to pass lynx have to set at this number.

Maybe that's why I have such trouble...

Perhaps you can help me out.

I've had a hell of a time trying to run my uncore @ 4000Mhz. I can run 2000Mhz no problem with my QPI @ 1.362v and CPU is the same @ 4.2Ghz

What kind of temps do you get on your Northbridge? Your CPU? How long have you been running your QPI at that voltage? is it safe?

I'll do this myself if it's safe and doesn't damage anything. :shrug:

According this http://www.gskill.us/forum/showthrea...t=F3-16000CL9T i run this setup for about 4 months.
My cpu is in range 40c to 85c(linx) and now for northbridge/southbridge try to reinstall thermal paste and correct my first vga position because i believe that touch to m/b block and increase the temps.

born..got the same ram x2 kits 12Gb. I could get it to boot but had to raise voltages too high and simply not comfortable doing it long term. Checkout the bandwidth section, helpful info there on these sticks.

Apparently you have not done any research. Here is just one review that shows it's a pretty good block and not restrictive. I personally have this block and I compared it to the original EK Supreme and the Swiftech GTZ and the Koolance had better flow rates. Temps rarely show a difference of 5 degrees on any block compared to any other block, anyone that tells you differently is trying to sell you something.

Sure they do quick connects, but all they did was shrink car technology. Nothing more. They're not innovative. They're cheap copycats.

That no one else makes.

You can tell no lesson was learned because of the position of the outlet barb on their northbridge block. Not to mention I think the full shiny polished top is terrible looking. The inside of my computer case isn't Puerto Rico.

This is personal opinion and the position of the bottom barb can benefit some. On top of that, it makes the block less restrictive than say the EK block due to it having just one pass versus a dual pass like the EK.

I'm not discounting them because of the name, I'm discounting them because they've sucked for their entire history. Sell me something that's easy to use, and useful.

Apparently you have made up your mind about a company you know nothing about. I imagine you probably just got into water cooling and went to some website that said "Koolance sucks, BP for the win". Seriously, if you have never used their products, how can you comment on them? I have used more than 10 CPU blocks, probably 8 or more MB blocks, a crap load of GPU blocks, all of these from various companies and you know what I figured out? They're all pretty much the same. Different colors, minor tweaks, cool tricks, but all made from copper, some nickel plated, some not and all perform withing a few degrees of each other. Seriously, it really comes down to what looks good for your build and what makes your life easier running your tubing and how much you want to spend. XSPC makes a great GPU block that is about $30-$40 cheaper than the rest and it performs just as good, but it doesn't look as sweet as an EK block or a Koolance block or even the BP blocks. I use them all and don't limit it myself to any one brand, no reason too.

i was just looking at the EK HF (high flow) cpu block, a bit expensive but i think it will be my next cpu block..
10-11-2010, 07:06 PM
Utnorris

Yeah, I have the older EK Supreme Classified and I love how it looks, but flow on it is terrible. When I do change my blocks out this next time I will probably do the EK HF block to match the rest of my system. I don't expect any performance difference, but I like trying new stuff.

So if you were to install your two current RAIDed SSDs on to a good 6Gbps capable controller like the LSI 9211-4i I mentioned above, you would gain a good 150MB/s in sequential read speeds.

There's also pretty strong evidence that the Marvell controller doesn't pass through TRIM.

Then you googled my name and realized I've been doing this since before xtremesystems existed. Way to do your research.

Your numbers mean nothing to me, and neither do your arguments. Just another koolance fanboy.

I use what works, what's convenient, and what's good. I have no other criteria. If koolance came out with a compelling product, I'd promote it just like any other good piece of hardware.

Oh yeah, and then you googled 'hydraulic quick disconenct' and realized that everyone makes them.

Is it necessary to plug in the 2 molex connectors on the board if running two videocards (overclocked on air), or is that only necessary for running 3-4 heavily overclocked cards?

I don't think it's necessary, but In my case, It gave me better stability in general with plugging in one of the extra 8 pin CPU power, and 1 of the molex for pci-e. I couldn't reach the other one near the 1st PCI-E slot.. :P

I don't need to use Google to see when someone is being a jerk. I already said I don't stick to any one brand, so I am not sure how that makes me a "fanboy", but obviously you have a strong opinion about Koolance even though you have already stated you don't use them. As far as my numbers, I don't see you posting anything to dispute them, so how about you just run along and find some other place to troll.

You're the one who brought up my experience and made a personal attack. And your numbers are just how many blocks you've used. There's no reason to refute anything about that because well. Nobody cares and it doesn't have anything to do with the thread.

The koolance block for the R3E is a piece of crap that's not useful to anyone, unless you're going to spend 10x more for an entirely koolance branded system, so it all fits together, for 10x worse performance.

Look in a mirror UT. You're the troll. I'm not the only one who feels this way about you, or koolance. You provided absolutely no quantitative proof for any of your arguments. I was on topic about the R3E and it's cooling options. You did nothing but flame.

SDD Advice RAID 0 on SATA2 vs SATA3

I have 50 gig Vertex 2 on a SATA2 Port Boot OS. and a 1TB eSATA for storage.

I want to get more SDD space as it rocks.

What is up with the SATA3/6GB Ports?

Would it be best to: get another 50 Gig Vertex 2 and set up RAID 0 on the SATA2 port.

Get 1 60 Gig SATA3 drive and put it on the 6Port.

Get 2 60 Gig SATA3 Drives and RAID 0 them on the SATA3 ports.

Get 1 120 Gig SATA3 Drive and up it on the SATA3 port.

What about just the Revo Drive?

Thanks

Well, I recently changed from 2 C300s raid 0 on the sata 3 over to the sata 2 and now run just 1 C300 64gb non raid on the sata 3 ( boot drive)
So far nothing to complain about throughput non raid on the marvell is very good and as we all no Ich10R is just fine for 2 ssds in raid 0 (remeber no trim when in raid but GC seems to be doing the job)
as for revo drive I dont know too much about these only that I would expect them to be quicker, had a browse through the forums and there are a few ppl very miffed as they have spent a lot of cash and are not getting the performance / ease of installation, they want !!

thats just my opinion others may give different advice

So the 1 C300 on the SATA3 port has better Read rates than the 2 RAID 0 on the SATA2 port yes? That was what I was thinking.

I think its a great controller, though the one i got QC wasn't that nice, on the knobs, its not glued on well, the rheostat works wonders though! RPM and voltage reading seems alright. I'm running 2 panaflo fans per channel.

Screen doesn't display temperatures I think, not sure though, haven't plugged them in.

Personally, I would've went with the Kaze Master pro 6 channel.

Raid-0 would be better, than single drive on sata3 for sure. :P

Used Xeon W3540 on R3E and it worked great :up: until replaced with i7 970.
I might even stick it in again when I sell i7 970 while I wait 980X. It is so good for running UnCore@4GHz. ;)

IMO, it's always better to raise UnCore. You get much more bandwidth and it does improve overall speed.

Hey guys, sorta new to the forum and recently bought a new rig that includes the rampage III extreme. I'm somewhat new to overclocking but didn't shy away from it when I had my e6300 so if anyone has any advice for me I'd more than welcome it in helping me out :)

Here's a short list of what else I got: i7 950, G.Skill PI series 3x2GB DDR3 1600, GTX 480, and a Thermalright U120Extreme since I'm gonna be running on air.

I've managed to push it to 4.08Ghz at 170bclk running the ram at 1704MHz but i've really had to loosen up the timings and apply more voltage to the ram. It seems stable after a few runs from intelburn test and prime95 but I haven't had the chance to do an extended stability test, so I know those are just a rough trial. It doesn't crash when gaming and I've been doing that more than running anything else and have absolutely no problems. I can't seem to get it much further than that. My idle temps are around 40 at idle and upwards of around 70C when under load. I can't get it to boot when I up the bclk from there, the led's right below the ram stop at DRAM when it refuses to boot on anything higher, interestingly it passes that and stops at VGA when i try 200 bclk just for fun. Here's a template of the settings I have, again I'd more than welcome any advice on tweaking the settings. Thanks.

I had the 1.0.7 iDirect installed just didn't have the Mobilink. It works now. Shame you can't check bios boot codes with it.

EDIT: It is still buggy. Bclk and Vcore are displayed incorrectly for me when I try to change either of them.

@BlackFire12
Hi!
Start by setting REF Cycle Time to Auto and raise DRAM Bus Voltage to 1.65V.
Later you can try lowering RAM multi to 8x and UnCore multi to 16-18x and try raising BCLK if you like.

Anyone notice that with 1005 bios even if the only change you make is bclk it hard restarts :( sucks with ln2 and cbb

What do you think which is better under LN2?
I compared REX3, E762 & UD9, I choice REX3 because of CB improvement.
And its score is marvelous.:D

I prefered 0704 or 9124 BIOS under LN2.

Thanks guys for the heads up on the WiFi. I finally gave up on Bluetooth thinking it would ever function, ended up uninstalling driver and anything blue-tooth related! I wish i could throw the darn card away without having to take out the motherboard, at least it would do something useful like free up two USB ports!. Apparently all that is required is the iPhone/iPad Mobilink V10016 installed on the PC and the latest v1007 iPhone/iPad app, which allows connectivity via WiFi :D I can't see the need for mobilink to be set in the startup group, as Mobilink runs through a service called pnSvc which monitors for iPhone connection.

Started playing around w/ the RC Tweakit utility. I must say it is pretty damn nifty. I really hope they add the ability to change multipliers and ratios in the future though. I'd never have to go in to the bios ever again.

This is the best board I've used yet; :up: running my i7 930 @ 4.3Ghz (205x21) on water. The standoffs on the EK block were a pain, but its now keeping my North and South bridges cool at around 42 degrees. Coming from a Maximus 2 Formula the overall system feels much faster (SSD drive helps here!) and games run even smoother. Got the 295 plus 250 for PhysX. Had some power up issues with bios 1005 so now on 901.
Here’s a little collage of the build at various stages;

OK wrong. I tried to enter the settings while the board was turned off. All seemed ok, yet it didn't apply any of the settings. :down:

Well it is able to get the connection so why should it not be able to? It can connect and see all the settings and it isn't showing locked like it does while posting. It just isn't transferring them to the board.

My uncore always seems pathethically low compared to a lot of you guys. But if I take it a notch higher I am no longer stable. What voltages should I pull up to increase the overclockability of the Uncore? Vtt/QPI? If so I am already @ 1.4, is it safe to take it higher?

Do you ever see the water level in your res rise when your system is off from being gravity fed by your GPU's?

That is completely normal. It will happen in nearly every water cooling setup.

Nice job :up: Have you enabled the QPI LLC jumper on the board? Your QPI in Everest reads 1.32v, if you enable the jumper it should stop the voltage from dropping.

I haven't messed with any jumpers. I guess I could do that. I had it set to 1.4 and was curious why it was reading so low.

Don't suppose you could tell me how to get a higher stable uncore?
10-18-2010, 02:39 PM

I normally just set it to 2x dram freq. but on the rampage III it also worked a notch up for me. I was reading about it, some were saying Dram voltage others said QPI, Im really not sure, but you could lower what you set QPI voltage to in bios by enabling this jumper/switch, its next to the 24pin, just move it to the other position.

was looking around and saw this by eva2000 http://i4memory.com/f83/i7-x58-mem-f...equency-18156/

Yeah, was wondering if I got all the EK spacers in the right places. Anyhow, not bad temps, will probably look at lowering my voltages over time.

When I turn off my system with no pump running, I can open the cap on my bottom/fill res and the water mite raise about a 1/8" to 1/4" at most then I top it off. It doesn't come pooring out like most would think. That res on the bottom also traps any air in the system so it doesn't enter the pump.

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question! Currently I have a gtx 480 in pcie slot 1 and gtx 260 in pcie slot 2 (physx), I would now like to add my second gtx 480 to pcie slot 3. Can I run Sli with my to 480's with the 260 between them? The reason I would like to run this way is make sure my lower 480 is getting clean air from the lower intake on my 800d. Oh I also have a xfi in pcie slot 4.

If you have max temps to ich/ioh try this.
Push just a little with your finger your vga with direction as in photo and then look your temps in bios or pc probe.
My temps go down at least 10c !!!!

When i increase my BCLK to >220 the performance in gaming degrades.

The system seems stable i can run intel burn test and prime95 without error. But whenever i load games or 3d benchmarks my performance goes down.

Does anyone else have this issue, and have you resolved it?

Thanks-
10-20-2010, 02:55 AM

It can be your CPU or Mainboard. Try with higher NB Voltage or PCIe clock (103-105MHz).

But that is a bug off all X58 Systems, if they´re near the BCLK limit the 3D performance is worse.

Yes I have the same problem, at 215bclk 3D performance takes a hit but will pass linx. Others have had the same problem, there is no fix for it.
