He ran SuperPi, which is what essentially HyperPi 0.99b is. But I think he did only a single threaded run ;)

Great results Deachus, 8-8-8-24 at 2244MHz is amazing :up:

My Adaptec 5405 (PCI-e 4X) is working regularly unless I put my ICH10r in raid mode. If the onboard Intel controller is in RAID mode, I have same issue like you.

My card is a 29320LPE

http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/support.../ASC-29320LPE/

Ill try and see if i can update the bios on the card - else i guess i have to wait till asus update a bios for the Rampage mobo..

I''ve disablet all onboard raid controllers + normal sata controllers is set to ACHI mode

Did you try changing the Intel controller to IDE instead of AHCI? Just a suggestion as RAID/AHCI drivers are the same when installing windows. You use the same Intel F6 drivers when installing windows with a RAID or AHCI configuration so that could possibly be the issue. Probably not but just a suggestion.

I did not run HyperPI. I am by no means trying to state these results are 24/7 stability settings, they are strickly benching settings which is why I have not run HyperPI.

Thanks spoolindsm127:) I am not sure if I have reached my IMC limit on my new 930 or reached the limits of my MGH-E Hypers. I was not able to get anywere close to those results with my 920 D0 that I just replaced. I also did not test the 920 on this Board, the testing with this memory and the 920 was done on my P6T Deluxe V2. I am going to throw my 920 into my REIII and see what it can do because it runs 4Ghz, 4.2GHz and 4.4Ghz 24/7 stable at much lower volts then my new 930. For example, I can run 4.2Ghz LinX 25 runs stable @ 1.285v with the 920 were my new 930 needs 1.325v. 920 @ 4.4Ghz is stable at 1.36v were my new 930 @ 4.4Ghz needs 1.42v.

Will post up results once I switch CPUS, not sure if I am doing that tonight as I am still trying to pass vantage at 4660+ on this new 930.

Does anyone have issues with their temp sensors?

According to HWMonitor and Realtemp, my 930 D0 @ 100% load, clocked to 4Ghz runs at 100C! It idles at around 55 -60C, but when i put prime 95 on it shoots to 95-100C. The strange thing is that its fully stable and will run hours on end if I wanted it to, but im slightly concerned and im wondering if the sensor is faulty?

I have a Corsair H70 cooler, with 2x120mm fans in push/pull, with the fans on full blast. Ive remounted it a few times with no change in temp :confused:

I would say a bad mount or a real dud of a chip. What kind of thermal paste are you using and how are you applying it? I have a 920 D0 that idles at 28C and Primes at 4.2Ghz full load 70c. I also have a 930 D0 that idles at 31C @ 4.2Ghz and LinX 25runs max memory at 76c. Also, how much voltage are you using?

Hi guys.

I have read in this thread many people have noticed that ones your near your BCLK limit on the Asus Rampage III Extreme it starts to affect gaming performance, so I was wondering if this is a problem with just this board or is it a problem with Intel X58 chipsets?

I am planning on overclocking my i7 980X to 4.2GHz using a BCLK of 210 and my BCLK limit is 214, so will my gaming performance be affected with a BCLK of 210 or should it be ok as long as I don`t increase my BCLK any futher?

Thanks for responding.

I think your question can only be answered by you. It depends on your MB, CPU, and settings you are using. They are all different. I have heard people say there max blck is lower than other people with the same MB even though their CPU could clock higher on their previous board. You will have to test performance from 200 up to your desired 210 and see if your performance increases or decreases.

My bclk limit without slowmode was 215, passed linx and other stress tests but 3D performance took a hit, at 210 3D performance was just fine. Each board is different, others had much better results.

That was certainly the case with my board. My 920 would scale to higher levels on my P6T vanilla though at a higher Vcore but this board has better power regulation among other things. My 920 maxes at about 217 but will do 4500 at 1.38 prime on this board which is nice. I just got in a real nice batch 3570 which is unlocked and screaming for a good beating on this board.

id love to have those temps :) im trying everything possible to get my temps lower but its just not happening. Im using AS5 termal paste, i spread a thin layer all over the cpu with a credit card then put the H70 cooler on it and i tighten it as far as it will go without overtightening

the vcore and vtt are both 1.3v. are there any other bios options i should check? im going to try mount it one more time otherwise ill try another cooler
11-08-2010, 11:34 PM

Screw the H70 all the way down, what speed is the pump running at ? Is it running at all ? fans both mounted the same way ?

Last option is a bad H70 or a very convex/concave CPU IHS.Can you take a picture of the TIM spread on the IHS and H70

I have the H70 screwed down as far as it can go. ive tried moving it and it seems well mounted. ill remount again later today and post a pic

how do i check the speed of the pump? i have it connected directly to my PSU to make sure its getting the full 12V. Its vibrating and the tubes are vibrating so its definitely on. Both fans are facing the same way, blowing hot air out of the back of the case

ive also just updated the bios to 1102, since it apparently fixes wrong temp readings, but the temps havn't changed
11-08-2010, 11:56 PM
Leeghoofd

Hook up the pump to the motherboard ( 1400ish rpm is normal ) Best way to get better temps is to suck in air from behind instead of your setup (differs 2-3°C). Which case is this in. Can you take a piccie of the setup ? wonder how hot the mobo temps are... CPU temps read out via Coretemp or Real Temp plz

Did some 2260 ram runs too for the review

CPU temp must be about 5~10ºC below core temps at full load.

Until 1005 bios, CPU temp is completely unsafe. It sticks in random temperatures.

CPU temp at 1102 bios no longer sticks, but it still rises and falls very much slower than the indicated by Core Temps.

So I don't use Q-Fan or Fan Xpert. If there is a quick rise in temperature, the PC gets no cooling.

In a normal Intel system, CPU temperature (tcase) must be always below of cores temperatures (tjunction).

Asus is doing strange things lately.
BIOS 1102 has been out for enthusiast for 1 month or more, it was assumed to correct the cpu temp and they posted officially same buggy BIOS, with the cpu temp about 8 C° higher than cores and reacting like a snail. :confused:

Thanks guys for responding.

The reason why i`m going with a BCLK of 210 is to increase my 7 980X performance as I have heard people say the higher your BCLK the better
the performance of the CPU, so i`m hoping my gaming performance doesn`t take a hit using this BCLK.

Core temps (tjunction) are accurate only at highers temperatures, when it can be compared with CPU temp (tcase). At idle temperatures, core temps are so inaccurate that they can normally be below the CPU temp.

Below 60~70ºC, the only acceptable way to measure the CPU temperature would be through the CPU Temp, which unfortunately does not work correctly on this motherboard, even with 1102 bios.

for some time I have problems with random freezes (sometimes several times a day and nothing in 2 or 3 days) have to turn off the computer at button

these freezes happen at any time (just after boot, once on the desktop when surfing in IE or FF, in Windows Explorer, etc. ...)

I retested the OC, stable LinX 30mn, hyperpi 32M, OCCT 1h
it's OK 3DMark Vantage and PCMark Vantage
I also freezes @stock (while AUTO in the bios)

I tested the SSD X25-E with Intel toolbox, no errors

It seems to be the R3E in question, is there a way to confirm this?

thanks ;)

Just a wild gues here man :Have you tried the rad in the normal way ? Did you hook up the pump to the board itself instead too the PSU ? What RPM does it read out ?

I might be wrong but i`m sure it's because of the CPU QPI speed goes up the higher the BCLK, therefore giving the CPU a performance boost and that's why people say higher BCLK is better.

Or am I completely wrong and misunderstood those people that say higher BCLK is better?

In R3E you can use a bclk of 133 MHz and have uncore clock at 4000 MHz.

Raising ONLY the bclk isn't giving any speed improvement.
By sure in some mobo it is the only way to increase some other parameters (like uncore clock and QPI link speed) that do help obtaining more speed.

Thanks mate for clearing up my confusion about BCLK.

I have noticed on my setup all my hardware has a rating score of 7.9 in Windows 7 rating system but my CPU only scores 7.8, so I was
wondering how much do I need to overclock to get my CPU score at the maximum which is 7.9?

How do 980x clock on this board! Am thinking of buying one soon! My 930i7 needs alot of voltage for 4.4/4.5 plus it would be nice having the unlocked multi! Is there a 990X coming soon!

It seems that Asus released new bioses for all there LGA1366 motherboards yesterday. All for "New CPU support"... which is kinda funny. I don't know why they don't say the real reasons. And admit to CPU temp problems.

I bought two Rampage III Genes a couple weeks ago. Both of them had problems with CPU temps getting stuck, or going really high, zero, or negative. I filled out a support ticket, and was told to RMA the board. I got another one, and it did the same thing. So I told them again. They told me to RMA the board. I had tried both boards with 2 different i7 920 DO's (both of which were verified with no issues in other boards). Both boards didn't work correctly. They told me to RMA the 2nd board, and that I should get a working one on my 3rd try..lol.. Meanwhile, yesterday they released a new bios, which I flashed last night. Now the boards doesn't have wacky CPU temps anymore. It's just off by like 20C from core temps (when it should be about 5-10C max).

I'm just happy to have a somewhat functional CPU temp now. At least you can base fan profiles off it. I just wish Asus would get their act together and actually communicate something worthwhile to their support techs, and/or us.

I was able to get a Vantage run at 4630Mhz last night so I switched out the 930 for my 920 D0. This thing runs great in my RIIIE. I am up to 226 blck with less volts than my 930. My 920 D0 is still scaling as I was able to boot into windows and run SuperPI at 230 bclk but crashed half way through so I have some work to do. My Kingston Hypers at DDR-1811Mhz 6-6-6-18 are still scaling with volts as well. This same kit of ram and 920 D0 couldn't do anywhere close to these clocks or timings on my P6T Deluxe V2.

I've now played with two gigabyte boards and have found that this setting allows for really nice clocks without a lot of voltage elsewhere...

Yes, I tried last BIOS, but it turned out that the best results of Pi 1M I had with bios 0901 and the highest bclk with BIOS 0011 but I don't pretend to extensive tests because I haven't thoroughly tested (as some people here:clap:).

No, at least so far I haven't had a problem with USB on boot with bclk 232. Yesterday I faced this problem, but after increasing bclk in Windows up to 238 and I had a BSOD with an error related to USB.

I've had 5 i7's of the 930 and 950 flavors... my first 930 has been the best 'performer' needing the lowest voltage to do 4.2ghz at 200bclk... I'm having to push core voltage up to about 1.38 on all the chips except my first, which needs about 1.37.

I popped one of the 950's into a gigabyte x58a ud3r board, and it only needed 1.28v to do 4.2 when i bumped the qpi pll up to 1.16 from 1.10...
sigh...
might be time to dump asus i guess...

Anyone know if the 1102 Bios has anymore fixes or updates other than just support for the 990x?

Picked up a new R3E yesterday and it came with 1102 bios from the factory. Must be latest batch i guess.
Still gives me sleep mode problems with my i7 920 though. It goes into sleep mode and then fires right up again straight away.
Any fixes ?

any advice would be very appreciated

Which PCI-E slot is it in? Are your PCI-E lane selector switches set properly? I disabled 2 and 4, since my 480s are in 1 and 3

SLI/CrossFireX On-Demand

The board features SLI/CrossFire on Demand technology, supporting up to four graphics cards in a 3-Way SLI or CrossFireX configuration. Whichever path you take, you can be assured of jaw-dropping graphics at a level previously unseen.

Anyone using CPU-Z have the issue of no voltage showing up within the program? I just updated to 1.56 and it doesn't my voltage at all. I noticed the above screen shot shows a 980X with 40V!, isn't that about 38.8v too much?

Was there a performance or stability benefit from turning off the unused PCI-E lanes? E.g. Less voltage needed to stabilize?

I have only a single GTX 470 so I have three unused lanes. Thinking of turning them off if I can gain a bit more stability.

First, take newest linpack from Intel's site and update LinX with it, or download pre-updated LinX from LinX 4.5GHz club.
Then, increase your UnCore/Memory speed besides Core speed.
4400/2133/1066 gives ~60GFLOPS
4400/4000/2133 gives ~85GFLOPS

Slot? You mean fan header?
You can plug a thermal sensor to OPT_TEMP1 and set fan speed in BIOS depending on temperature measured. Same goes for 2 and 3. Nice feature, I'm using it for VRM and NB.

Thank You my friend for this and your BIOS template, I'll give her a whirl.

What php code did you use to post your template?

So everyone knows... In case it wasn't common knowledge.

QPI PLL is linked to the CPU PLL setting in BIOS on the R3E.

I asked how it was controlled to ASUS techsupport and that's the answer I got.

I've asked them for a table of values showing what QPI PLL voltage is set per different CPU PLL settings.

It seems 1.89v CPU PLL is probably between 1.14 and 1.16v QPI PLL. Raising my CPU PLL to this value gives me about the same stability/voltage settings that I got on my friend's x58a-ud3r with my chip.

Ok, but what we do if the CPU likes lower CPU PLL (like my W3520). It will be better if these two values are separated but only Asus knows whether, how and when it will be.

I tested XP/Vista/7, all os can not accept sleep mode.:(
So I change my 24/7 PC mobo to X58A-UD7 rev2.
UD7 does not have any problem with sleep mode.

For X-Cool OC, REX3 is marvelous performance!!:D

Hi guys,
I'm still waiting for ASUS to get back to me for the table of values.

I do suspect that it is a repeating table. It would explain why some people can use CPU PLL as low as 1.36, and others use around 1.5... etc...

It also means that you should not adjust CPU PLL drastically like 1.36v and 1.5v because you have no idea what QPI PLL is set!!! Maybe dangerously high!!!

I will post here ASAP when ASUS gets back to me.

Sleep mode works perfectly here with Bios 0704, will video it for the non believers (link below)... Either it doesn't work with newer OC biosses or some bios setting is wrong... Been using this platform for GPU testing for a round up and Bad Company 2 gaming, don't get what you guys don't like about it... pretty solid to me...

Leeghoofd...thanks for the video man :up:
I will try the 0704 bios as you say, but had the issue on 2 seperate boards with 0402; 1005 and 1102 bios revisions.
Maybe it's to do with the cpu batch or something, an i7 920. Love the 'board anyway.
Could you possibly post up your bios settings, just so we can see if ours are any different.
Much appreciated.

When it went 'final' on ASUS's site, I installed it.
It CAUSED CPU temp bug on my i7 930. 1005 does not have the problem.

Also, my overclock became unstable on 1102. I rolled back to 1005, exact same settings it is 11 hours LinX stable. I did clear my BIOS on 1102 and reset settings manually, it still had the problem.

1102 is a terrible BIOS.
