ah also did anyone else got a problem to use the OCZ platinum (all series) series with this board, since this ram can't be sit tight coz of the ram sink hit the ram slot so it won't work. but strange enough mine is only on the c1 socket (the one near the atx power) it's okay with the a1 or b1(2x3gb but only 4gb recognized).
@first i though that the c1 socket is damaged, but when i try to put a g-skill on the c1 it boot up normally and recognized the full 3 channel like it should (2x ocz and 1x g-skill).
this prob shouldn't be a big prob since i can change it to another mem but i just curious that anyone have the same experience like mine.
TY guys.
Sure here you go. I just got another power supply to see if that might have been a issue. But it ran 4 gpu's with no issues. so i highly doubt that was the issue.
-vcore = 1.24 {windows}
-vqpi = 1.55
-vdram = 1.65
-bclk = 200
-mem clock = x.m.p profile 2 @ 2,006mhz
-uncore clock = auto
-qpi clock = auto
-kingston hyperX model = KHX16000D3ULTT1K3/6GX
-bios version = 1802
well, isn't that was a suicide mission for a 24/7.Quote:

Also, what voltage is particular to adding performance to tighter timings at a same set DDR speed 1600. I have QPI freq set as lower of the 3 (7218) and unclk to 3206.
Agreed 100%. But my poor old r2e maxes out at 220 bclk though. So 4.6GHz is the limit no matter what i do......Quote:

i've read somewhere that it is not so safe but who knows, some also says it safe for 24/7 as long as you stick with 0.5v rules and the right cooling.
i just don't want to play at that level for 24/7, for testing the bclk and mem sure no prob.
Yup this RE2 mb don't like anything over 220 BCLK . I can run LinX also at x21 x 221 BCLK but my fps degrade . At x20 x 220 BCLK is the max out on my RE2 for best performance with my i7 920 . So what we need in for our next cpu is a multi that goes to say x25 or better because with lets say a good liquid cooling we can see 5.0Ghz . So with this board and the 17 920 DO 4.4Ghz is the limit , Turbo Disabled .
when i put in my hyperx 2k cas8 it has 1.7v in xmp profire;)Quote:

Yes it is 1.7 in [RED] on the profile setting. If i try it my pc freezes up and or i get a bootmgr corrupt. If i drop it between 1.50 and 1.60 it is okay. but it seems 1.5 is about the best spot for it on mine. Ran memtest86+ for a few hours and it is fine. Got me wondering what is going on now.......
Sorry to put a link in here but I need to know if anyone else has the same issue with me on this board:

Bad luck, i don't know but it is annoying as heck though. :shrug: :down:
I am experiencing problems similar to you. Im running 12 gb ram and the highest i can run is 1600 on the hyperx 2000 rated ram. I also have a DO stepping. I have to run qpi of 1.6 to 1.7 (not sure exactly what im running now. to get it stable- any less wont post all the ram. I have even tried runing up to 1.85v on the vdimms ( the intel spec sheets i read said this was within spec)- the qpi im running is way over stock though. i would love to get to the bottom of this- maybe its a timing issue. Perhaps we could start a new thread to get some expert information. even when i was running at stock with XMP the ram was never very stable at 2000mhz. i started with 6gb and it was much easier to OC 12 has made OC much more difficult.Quote:

i wish i could run stable with that qpi... its still close to spec..Quote:

cpu id says im currently running 2t. I have never tried 1t. im running 9-9-9- 24 timing now. no effect going beyond 1.65vdim so i leave it at that. qpi is the only thing that helps get a decent OC of 1600.
Some cpu's like certain vtt - vdimm difference, some are less particular. Sounds like your cpu's MCH doesn't like higher (1.55v+) vdimm. I wouldn't think it's your ram especially if it was working fine with your previous cpu. Have you tried adjusting the dram reference voltages to see if they can help?Quote:

FF code - try and reseat the BIOS chip. You can also try and put light pressure on it with your finger while booting it may help.
Hi Killer . I haven't read everything that's going on with you but , could you test your memory 1 stick at a time with memtest and report back . If you have done this already and posted it my apologies .Quote:

Ok Killer . I'm leaning back to your memory . Take a pic of your complete bios memory timings , should take a couple pic to get everything . Post a link to your memory from NewEgg or where ever and also let me know the voltage your running the memory at . You could do this if you can , do you have any other memory or borrow for a day from a friend you could run in your rig and see what she does at stock settings . If that passes I would suggest you drop another cpu in there and do the same . Borrow one for a day if you don't have another . Its a process of elimination right now for how your crashing at stock settings . All this I suggest is on the idea that your os is stable ! If its not do a clean install of your os .
The memory checks out fine as i have ran like stated on the other page for 2 hours fine. All the settings are the predefined ones from the memory profile 2. I'm looking for some memory now though as we speak. I'm also thinking about just doing a rma on this board to be safe.Quote:

another think i notice the HSF stay cold even when i stress the cpu.
That plate should definitely not be bent or warped. I'm hesitant to suggest a way to straighten it, sounds like your best bet is an RMA. Did you notice the bend when you purchased the board? I can't see how installing the stock cooler could bend it in any way.
hi,board came fine no bending.i dont want to go to that way to loose warrantty to straight it.i took the HSF off and wiped off the stock thermal past because half of cpu was not contacted to the cooler resulted past was dried.i reaplied AS5.now core temp gone 7c high on all cores.WTF ASUS. why cant they put some strong material.i so much frustrated.this is all stock.not to buy asus stuff again.how is your backplate looking slight bend or not at all.sorry for my bad english.thanks crytik
My back plate is perfectly flat, I mounted a water block back plate against it just a week or so ago, and it's as flat as it was when I bought it. I previously had a TRUE mounted. Perhaps you can post up a picture of what your problem is so we can understand better what is happening.
@ xpower
Either straighten the backplate yourself or RMA the board...
A pic would be helpful also...
I liquid cool and I have taken off a lot of stock back plates and its hard to comprehend one being bent . I would like to see some pic of it also .
Hi all,
Overclocked 920d0 to 4.1, LLC on, 1.3125 for both vcore and vtt - 1.35 vcore load. Running prime 95 as I type this, 6 hours in and I decided to put my finger on the mosfet heatsink and OUCH! can hold finger on for 5 seconds then it starts to burn it.
Just wanted to know if this is normal when stressing at high clocks with this board? CPU ad GPU under water in same loop. Case is tj07 with two 92mm rear fans@1600rpm and murdermod topgrill. Max cpu temps 72 71 71 68, thats with a 4870x2 in same loop.
North bridge is 55-57.
Can't seem to find any program to monitor mosfets temps also.
Hope someone can clear this up for me,
Many thanks
RoEy
@ Roey - my mosfet sinks also get very hot - around 60*C under Linx load. I also use a TJ-07, 2 x 92mm rear intakes (only one installed atm) and I use the 2 x 120mm top fans as exhaust fans - this helps keep the mosfet sink cooler, so in your case having no top fans will make things hotter obviously.
Since asus removed the onboard 'Power' temp monitor that the original rampage extreme X48 had (perhaps they thought people would freak out when they saw 50 - 60*C) I use one of the asus supplied temp probes and stuck it into the heatsink (wedged it securely between the fins) and connected it to the mobo - not ideal but it works.
Removing the PWR sensor form R2E was a definite mistake from Asus in such a high priced mb...
I think mine felt hotter than 60. My north bridge was around 57 and yes it was hot but didnt burn me so I'm guessing the Mosfets are 65-70 or even hotter. Because I have the topgrill I can slide my finger behind the back of the motherboard where the mosfets are and the board was just as hot in that location. What sort of temps can they safely run at or should I lower my overclock?
Should I try to run with LLC off so it makes them cooler? I may drop from 4.1 to 4 also.
Thanks again,
RoEy
No idea what they can run at safely, but even at 4GHz mine weren't much cooler than at 4.2GHz. When I did my 20 pass Linx run at 4.5GHz, I sat a 92mm fan over the sinks and they were hot but I could leave my finger on them.
Pain threshold in humans is ~43 - 45*C so burning to the touch is really not that hot in electronic component terms. 60*C is like instant pain.
Hi cryptik,Quote:

I'm touching it on the side of the heatsink too, not the fins, so I guess that bits always going to be hotter.
RoEy
Well, somewhat disturbingly, mine at idle is around 45*C, around 50*C with less airflow (my old case for example). The PWM seems to run hot on these boards. Personally I think it should be ok, but for heavy use at high loads (eg long Linx or other stability tests @ 4.3 GHz+) I feel more comfortable with a fan directly cooling them.
Maybe Asus increased the switching frequency of the PWM on these boards? My Rampage Extreme X48 PWM doesn't run anywhere near as hot - with a Q9650 @ 4.3GHz, it's lucky to hit 54*C and that is with completely passively cooled mosfet sinks in an open setup.
Think I may drop back to 4ghz. Not much cooler but a little and every little helps.
Just hope I haven't damaged anything, ran linx for 20 runs yesterday and 8 hours of prime.
Thanks for help
RoEy
^Should be fine Roey, I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks, LLC was off.
sorry guys i can not upload images dono why, can not upload to a album.can some one help please and post their MB back plate images.thanks
Use " Photobucket " xpower . You guys with your 16 phase power to hot put fans to them . Your board came with one fan and purchase another one or of coarse you can liquid cool your board but fans will bring down your temps there .
Mosfets only get hot when using linx or prime. Under normal / gaming use they're fine. Think I'll water cool all of the board next time.Quote:

Thanks, the cards really rock, did another run last night and got P45446 which got me to 6. place overall on HWBOT and thats on H2O..
Nice OC and score there CryptiK, I belive you can push the BCLK a little more if you bump up the PCIE freq to 103-110. Icould boot inn at 224 bclk with pcie freq at 105. Have you tried to push uncore higher, it will give you a higher score.
6th place on water, nice job.
My run was at PCI-E 106 MHz. It won't post at 221 BCLK at the same settings, and it took vNB 1.35v, whereas 219 BCLK only needs PCI-E 100 MHz and 1.13 vNB.
I can run uncore higher, just playing around a bit at the moment.
Aha, well my board won't post at 225 but runs fine at 224. I've bumped the bclk up to 225 in win7 with som weird results got 7,117 in superpi 1m @ 4,7 GHz:confused:Quote:

Cryptic, what kind of gtx 295 are you using (2 pcb or 1)? Watercooled?
It's a single PCB, watercooled.
thinking of rma.what is the beter cooler to buy is CM V8 or TR ultra-120 extreme 1366 RT.i saw v8 does'n look has a better suport for back plate but TR got a strong back plate.urs openion guys.sorry for my bad english.
Ive never used a V8 and I've somehow missed any decent reviews of them, but I've used TRUE's and lapped with decent fans (1200rpm - 1600rpm) they perform very well.
i got a v8Quote:

Hi community , im new to this forums, and im also new to overclocking with i7 , i had a 775 platform before and it was totally different to overclock.
I tried to overclock myself , i read almost all pages with the settings of all the people who posted here and i tried to came up with a result and settings i could use on my pc.
First of all i leave my pc STATS :
i7 920 on air , TR Ultra extreme with 2 fans.

Sapphire HD4890 1GB safe overclock no OV 965/1150 , max overclock with OV 1050/1200
Cooler master RealPowerPro 850w
Cooler master HAF 932 Case
Here are the settings im trying now , i dont know why , but i cant seem to boot into windows even. Meaning that its a totally failure.
"BOOTMGR IMAGE DAMAGED ERROR , SYSTEM CANNOT BOOT" something like that ( i knew it was due the overclock and not my windows damaged , becasue it fixed when i set everything to default again)
That happened with the next settings , ( i tried to lower ram frec to see if my problems were ram.)

i know PCIE ones should be ones who control PCIE frec but the others? is it useful to take them in consideration while overclocking?
third and last question
temps on load with linx are in the 70s using a true push pull setup , is that ok?? or i should consider getting something better?

Replying to your question, the 2 prefetchers load in advance the most used data that flow in the cpu and the result is to speed up the elaboration.
Now I try to make some test with a lower vcore at 4200.
Hello everyone, I registered long ago and I was waiting for the validation so I could post.
I bought a computer that has the following spec:
I7 965 extreme watercooler with NB too.
Asus Rampage II Extreme
12 gb ram corsair TR3X6G1600C9 9-9-9-24
2 Velociraptors Raid0
Evga Co-op 295 GTX
1200 Watts Ps
I Don't really know anything about OC this is my first computer with OC.
Now my question is that I have someone doing some settings to the previous OC, and now I see some differents I don't understand.
My qpi is lower which I think is not a good thing. Before was 3.2 now is 2.8 in cpuz.
While windows doesn't see my new OC all cpu apps see it at 4 ghz. In IRC it shows only at 3.85 ghz. Before, the pc was OC all the time, now it idle at 1.9 ghz and OC to 4 ghz when needed which I think is good.
I have a picture showing previous OC and the OC that was done after. Which is better? http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/1...reandafter.jpg
Here is a pic of cpuz: http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/4416/cpuzt.jpg
If someone can help me I will appreciate it. Sorry about my english!.
Ghoster you need too read up on OC.
No volts should be on "auto" and speedstep and turbo should be switched off.
With speedstep on the CPU slows down under idle and speeds up under load.
Hi there, yeah I have been reading a lot here, I will need to learn a lot more. It's still confusing for me, especially the volts parts.
Any idea why qpi is so low? Also intel processor indentification utility shows:
intel qpi expected 4.80 gts , is that a mistake? I thought i7 965 suppost to be 6.4 gts!!!!!

hey everyone .. was just wondering if there is any info about the new 32nm Xeon 56xx series and if the RIIE supports them ?
Thanks guys..

Pushed things harder. So close to 30K 06 single GTX295. Uncore didn't want to run at 3.95 GHz with the CPU at 4.6 GHz. Might be board, might need more Vtt or vIOH, didn't have the time to get to the bottom of it. I'd love to try a Rampage III Extreme, someone want to give me one? :D

Nice score there Cryptic but you should get a better score with higher uncore speed.
Trying to push my i7 980X past 4788 MHz with all four GPU's at max but my PSU can'nt handle with the load. I've got a 1000w PSU and I'm pulling close to 1400w from the socket.

Running the CPU at 4788 MHz with 4,2 GHz uncore 1,6 vtt and 1,61 vcore:eek:

Yeah I had limited time and didnt want to overshoot required Vtt/vIOH by too much and after a few runs ran out of time, but I think I'll get there. I want to crack 30K with this card.
Very nice results from you too, looks like it's time for a PSU upgrade!
Just keep working and you'll get the 30k:up:Quote:

Yeah pity about my boards BCLK limit, if I could simply turn it up a notch or two I'd have 30K in the bag.
You can't run the 5970 and 2 x 5870's on the one loop? Good idea to separate the cpu from the 5970 though, those cards put out quite a bit of heat. Is your setup open or in a case?
Well lets hope the Rampage III have a higher BCLK limit, I'll be getting one soon.Quote:

I have my setup in a Corsair Obsidian 800D
U shouldn't break your promise... :lol:
Guys i have little "strange" question ... :) I want mount tri sli gtx 280 with ek waterblocks but here is problem ... i cant push gpu to the lower pcie slot because usb cable are plug in to the mobo ?!?! WTF... some r2e bug or i have strange usb cables :) When i plug out this usb cables - then i can mount third card. Any ideas ;)
Seems like a clearance problem. Onboard usb cables are pretty much standard so i don't know if u'll find any luck with other...
Why do u need the extra onboard headers?
Seems strange since I'm using all three PCIe slots and I've got no problem there, how big/deep are the EK blocks on the 280's. You've got a picture of it?Quote:

Hey Guys , Thanks to all your help im starting to figure out overclocking
But i Still have a doubt
What are these voltages?
IOH voltage - [1.15v]
IOH PCIE voltage - [1.5v]
ICH voltage- [1.15v]
ICH PCIE voltage - [1.5v]
i know PCIE ones should be ones who control PCIE frec but the others? is it useful to take them in consideration while overclocking?

Ok and now ill show you the next issue im having is to boot my comp while trying to set my mems at 2000mhz , and timings like 7-8-7-20 or 21 at 1N . No matter which QPI and DRAM volts i set comp wont start.
I've seen lots of people with the same ram as mine , i would love to get an advice about that.

***with this settings i can boot , but i get instant blue screen when trying to run LinX****
/Is QPI FRECUENCY necesary to set? or can i just leave it to auto? does it has benefits / cons ?
and what about cpu pll voltage , should i leave it on auto or change it?
i could only boot with QPI at 1.54 ; that is madness.. check that out.

OK, I spoke too soon on the ACPI Suspend modes working again. It is happening to me on this & the regular Rampage II Extreme w/ Windows 7 Pro x64 tested on each motherboard. Now if I go back to my primary install of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise R2 x64 on 3 different machines (All Rampage; II, Gene II, & classc x48 based Extreme, it works fine, so now I have to ask, what in Windows OS drivers or features is effecting this? my main II Extreme has a utility download (ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Win7 32&64-bit) but I'm not sure I saw one for the GENE. Does this add any ACPI added features? What are the added features used in ACPI 2.0 specs & ACPI APIC support?
Server 2008 Enterprise R2 x64 & Windows 7 Enterprise x64 are working good for now but the regular 7 machine is not 100%, some days it will and the one day youre in a hurry, it doesn't suspend. it just about enters S3 suepend (Sleep) but just as lights dim it resumes. It at least isnt locking up like last year on old BIOS's but still it appears hit or mis.
Setings at each test were like this
Suspend Mode [AUTO]
Repost Video on S3 Resume [NO]
ACPI 2.0 Support [DISABLED]
ACPI APIC Support [ENABLED]
EDIT: It is my understanding that ACPI APIC must be ENABLED to install modern Windows OS's live Vista or 7 and cannot be switched back and forth if not Enabled during XP S2K3 install to utilize ACPI suspend functions. but if ACPI 2.0 is left Disabled can it be toggled between afterwords without any issues and if so what can it add if enabled or lack if not? Please correct me if I got it mixed up. :) Thankx in advance.
hi ppl im back , i've tested a lot with my overclock .
And it happened that i wont be able to boot or stable my system at 4.2 21 X 200BCLK + 2000 mhz of ram at 9-9-9-24 on auto settings , with HT on
The only way to keep that stable was with a 1.33 Vcore and a QPI voltage of 1.54 , there was no way to lower QPI. i tried everything. tried with the PCI E frec at 108 , but neither helped. Ram voltage is at 1.65 but that doesnt seem to be the problem because i tried diferent voltages and it doesnt change , the only way i can change it is by increasing the QPI.
im still trying but i find no way to keep it LinX stable without that HIGH QPI VOLTAGE
What could i've done to avoid that? is there a way to lower the QPI needed? is that max overclock i could reach without risks?

Thanks in advance.

2000mhz mem speed @ 200mhz fsb isn't an easy task...
If u need lower QPI volts lower your mem speed...
Try 21x199 also...
Ezequiel, resisze your pics before posting they are way too big. Something like 1100 - 1200 width is perfect for forums, scrolling side to side is no fun ;)
Running ram at DDR3-2000 MHz is not easy for these i7's - even ones with a good IMC need decent Vtt for that speed. If you do some testing, I think you'll find DDR3-1600 6-7-6-X is actually faster than DDR3-2000 9-9-9-X and will require a lot less Vtt.
On another topic, I did some Vcore, Vtt and Vdimm measuring behind the CPU socket to get an idea of real voltages with LLC enabled since it was bugging me how much it seemed to over-volt on load.
I don't use LLC normally, but when benching it helps control things a little more accurately. I was also curious about Vdimm so I measured it directly at the Dimm slots.
CPU Vcore
LLC On
BIOS Set = 1.28750v
Idle:
CPU-Z = 1.280v
Everest = 1.270 - 1.277v
DMM = 1.29v
Load:
CPU-Z = 1.280v
Everest = 1.316 - 1.323v
DMM = 1.30 - 1.31v
Vtt
BIOS Set = 1.2750v
Everest = 1.224v (idle) / 1.197v (load)
DMM = 1.21v (idle) / 1.18 - 1.19v (load)
Vdimm
BIOS Set = 1.577v
Everest = 1.568v (idle) / 1.548v (load)
DMM = 1.58v (idle & load)
Seems the board actually does increase vcore by 0.02v under load when LLC is enabled. This is not good behaviour, it should not change at all, or ideally, droop around 0.01 - 0.02v.
Gigabyte implement a 2 step LLC system where you can have intel spec droop (LLC off), moderate droop (level 1) and slight/no droop (level 2). This is a much better system IMO and Asus would do well to
use a similar system. The vcore should certainly not increase under load.
Vtt is well below BIOS set voltage, idle and load is slightly lower than everest states.
Vdimm is pretty much what you set in BIOS, which is higher than everest reports and does not change from idle to load (I tried this at a few Vdimm settings).
Many thanks for the report. :)
can anyone say which bios is best for max bclk i have 1639 and i can't go more than 219 BCLK :(
i have i7 920
Sorry but that is the limit of your MB since it varies from 210-225 I think, mine can do 224 but wont post at 225.Quote:
