I ran into some serious problem and need some help. When I drain my loop few drops of water fell on the board, luckily the system was powered off. I strip everything off the mobo and then hair dry it and make sure it's completely dry. After I hook everything back up few hours later, my system boots no problem, though the CMOS reset itself so I reload the profile I set earlier. After afk for a bit, the computer goes into sleep mode through win 7, and refuse to wake up. I tried force reboot. Now it won't even post. The computer shuts down few seconds after start it up, then it reset itself. ON the LCD screen it goes from welcome to LOCKED to shutdown, then time resets.
Any idea what's going on?
Well, I have the same problem. Every time when my computer goes to sleep (i'm also using Windows 7 and RIIE) I can't wake him up again. I need to power him off and then again on. Luckily, he boots every time normaly after that... Dunno what's your problem but I think that it's not because of water on your board.
My ex-Bloodrage was completely wet because I benched outside at 5h in the morning with fog but she worked perfectly after that :D
That sucks ! Install just one stick of ram and clear cmos , it should now boot . What type of coolant do you use and what area on your board did it spill on ?Quote:

I added Voltage for both are- for cores from +0.25V to +0.5V(1.288V for 4.2gHz) and QPI from 1.375V(actually less) to 1.4V and the problem was solved. I still testing the new CPU and i'm sure- boosting one of them will be enough, but i don't know which yet.Quote:

Any idea? Possibly overheat?
PS I also tried removing the battery and reset CMOS with the baCK BUTTon, no luck as well.
Did you have your psu unplugged from pc when you cleared cmos ?
Oh, I have not try that yet. What's the proper way to clear CMOS without pressing the easy button? Popping the battery out with PSU unplugged?
Thanks I got it fixed! It works after I reset the CMOS. From what I know, I am guessing this is one of the problem I had with the board. For some reason, if I unplug the machine for a while, the system automatically set my overclock at some unreachable area (i.e. 5.0+ ghz). I guess this explains why it shuts down automatically.
What BIOS version are you using?
Seems you are having cold boot issues, perhaps try flashing the BIOS to one of the latest versions, 1504 works well for me.
Hi ... I just recieved my rampage2 ex... and I dont have an idea about how to gain sth about 4,5 ghz with my i7 960 ... can anyone post somehting like a bios template just to let me know how to start with oc? ;)
Do u think 4,5 with an i7 960 is possible? (I know ... "Why didnt you buy xeon?"... I wanted the 24x multi ... and 960 is@d0 as well ... so here we go)
thx mates
toyz
You want 4.5GHz for 24/7? That's impossible I think... I mean, maybe it's possible but with some crazy cooling.
really? h mmm ... was just thinking / dreaming ;) what do you think is realistic with i7 960(multi max. 24x)?
Multi is not the problem, problem is temperature.
First try to get 4.2GHz with temperature under 75° and then you can try higher. ;)
It's not impossible, check my sig...
do you recommend the 17er bios for oc?

But toyzruz didn't say which cooling does he have so we can only gues how much can he get out of his 960 :)
There are a few people who did this on air even without crazy loud fans... You just need to get lucky with a low vCore chip for air.Quote:

Unless you have a below average board, you wont be BCLK limited until around 4.6 on a 920. You'll probably need water cooling though, it will most likely be too hot for air.
You don't need a template, just start winding it up and see what you need to change to get there.
Well, "few" is the keyword :)Quote:

Of course, no doubt. ;) Maybe even start with 4GHz!Quote:

Hello guys! I'm not new to this forum but I haven't really been on for awhile. I am wanting to become more in tune with my Rampage II Extreme and GENE on X58. I will do my best to read through here to find some insight tips on area of voltages and frequancies but if anybody is willing to PM me with shared notes on a DO i7 920 on this mobo that would be cool. I got a stable daily 3.8GHz at 200x19 w/ DDR1600. I did a few bench test at 4GHz with 20x200 DDR 1600 but got a few BSOD's so I believe I need to learn more of the safe voltages to rais and in what order for safe daily as well as cool running. I will post BIOS template as soon as I get my notes in order.
Thankx in advance!
Hey Nuckin Futs congrats on your new R2X . Throw up your idle and 100% load temps to give us an idea what your working with .

90c is high , I don't like that at all ! Address your cooling because that will hold you back . I suggest you do not try for more then 4.0Ghz with the temps you have now . 4.0Ghz is a respectable frequency and will give you fine over all performance . I would like to see you lower your temps and until then lets try to get 3.6Ghz 100% stable for you . If that is okay with you let me know . I could right you a book on over clocking but slow and steady wins the race . Over clocking safely is the #1 priority . A bit of information zoo81 is you only have with a i7 920 X20 cpu multi ratio with Turbo disabled . Leave Turbo disabled and use X20 cpu multi ratio hard set in your bios . When Turbo is enabled that x21 cpu multi ratio is only good for one core and is useless for overclocking in my opinion . If you would like to zoo81 you can run p95 to test for stability . It is less stressful then LinX and you will see lower temps when its running but I believe it will declare your over clock stable for you , not as stable as a LinX stable rig .Quote:

I have tried those settings, but my PC doesn't like them lol. My BIOS resets to default when i try those settings. Any suggestions as to what to bump up or down?

Damn good playing !!!
I have had simular issues on this with mine but only when overclocked up in the 200x range, 181x was fine but it did do some weird stuff like waking up soon after I put it to standby. I could use Hibernate and if I utilized hibrid sleep (standby) it would "locked" lock up on resume from S3 sleep but if I reset it would resume on repost. On my 200x uclk it now keeps waking up after S3 (sleep/standby) & S4 (hibernate) and all known settings are off for timers and wake from keyboards. However, I do have a gyro gaming wireless keyboard and it did this on the non II rampage x48 but if I removed the keyboard it was fine, it stayed asleep.Quote:

Now I am curious about the PLL left at lowest. Is it not benifitial anymore to slightly increase this as in X48 w/ core 2 quads? I had mine at 1 level from up from lowest for the longest time stable but moved it down for testing.
Loadline calibration: I had always used in all my ROG mobos sice X38 Maximus. It has and still helps to keep vcore (for my uses) in target but if anything the vdrop will then happen innlow use, not the other way around.
votages? What is a realistic decrease for my i7 920 (DO) if I only need 4GHz 20x200? Can I lower QPI any less w/ stabilty you think or this safe range if temps are good, or is this more to do with DRAM and BCLK? Can I effectively lower my NB/SB core volts then if bk down to 20x200?
Otherwise, it ran good so far. Temps are hitting average loaded in Prime of upto 72c 1/2 & 68c 3/4. Is this normal for a noticable differance between 1/2 & 3/4 core temps? in idle they are cores 1/2= 39c, 3/4= 34c

has anyone got their i7 920 lapped
im seriously thinking of lapping my i7 and ek supreme lt
i have mounted my cooler many times even trying differnt pastes but cant get it cool with the watercooling i have in my sig
i know the lt isnt the best block to have but @ 4.2 with only 1.3v im hitting 80c surley it should be lower that that
my idle temps are 49/43/48/41 and romm temps about 10c
Before lapping it, just check if the IHS is convex or concave... a lap job doesn't always warrant lower temps, only thing it warrants is loss of warranty... and 80°c's is that LinX stress ? or gaming load ?
80c is linx load
i want too get it a bit lower because any more volts or mhz causes it to go close and even over 90c
i tried to test if it was unlevel but it didnt seem that bad slightly concave
but ive tried everything to get the temps down with no success
A new Bios in Town :rolleyes:

I've have them temps too at 4.2Ghz with my I950, it's just a hothead and that one got a dedicated loop with a 120.3 to cool it down...Quote:

Persoanlly I would stay away from lapping it.
And for your info LinX temps are not even remotely reached in daily use... if ya CPU even reaches 65°C when gaming it's a lot...
Ok will do during the week. How about all of the other settings? should i leave them on Auto and just worry about the CPU voltage alone? thanks.Quote:

If you pass 3.6Ghz then go for 3.8Ghz by just increasing your BCLK to 190 and of coarse test and post results . Keep a good eye on your temps and take your time , no hurry .Quote:

Hi I'm trying to out my new Gulftown and I would like your opinion on thesettings here.

The 980x is quite different than the 920 on OC requiers lot more vcore, but seem to be a lot cooler.
I'm running the new 1802 bios.
Why your ES cpu has locked multipliers?Quote:

The multipliers are not locked just appears to be in CPU-Z.Quote:

Yes it's to high for that speed I can run at 4,55 GHz with the same voltages. The QPI for 1804 MHz ram is maybe a little high but it needs it at speeds over 1800MHz.Quote:

Well the CPU seems to need high vCore but it runs quite cool anyway.
Did a Vantage run at 4768MHz, you can see the screens here: http://www.diskusjon.no/index.php?se...ost&p=15208990
Not correct AFAIK. With 21x multi set, I have 21.00x on all 4(8) cores even when under full load. Might want to check with the Turbo Tool and see if it's the same for yours.Quote:

With so little info it's hard to help... :)
This could be any number of things but the most common is probably the IDE settings. Make sure you have the drive controller settings properly configured before trying to boot into Windows. Memory timings, voltage, etc. is another possibility that quickly comes to mind.Quote:

It's either your overclocking settings or the CPU not making a good contact with the pins that is causing the issue.

Really small tweezers or pliers and a steady hand should get you out of trouble. Just be careful and don't break it!
I had something like this with a Gigabyte UD5. I used a needle to bend the pin back. After it worked but only @ default speeds. Very annoying............. Ultimately i got a R2E.Quote:

Pushed ram a little harder trying to get best time from SPI32M with CPU @ 4GHz HT on using W7. No OS tweaks, so close to sub 9 mins
4GHz | 4GHz uncore | DDR3-2004 MHz | 7-8-7-20 1T | B2B = 4

I was thinking of just selling my koolance block and get the bitspower R2E block since I have heard it will allow my sound card in that top 1x pci-e slot. Do you think it's worth it this late in this boards life to buy another WB? Or should I just wait for the new asus board? If it would be good to get the new block, who wants to buy my koolance one? LOL :P
I'd just wait for the R3E to come out, then assess the options.
so look me PC.Quote:

With 2 x GTX295's I wouldn't bother with a PhysX card, save your money.Quote:
