Maybe you need better cooling Cryptik, Uncore is usually cooling related... Dice or LN2 will get you over 30K :)Quote:

Lucky board and CPU combined with good cooling... nothing more nothing less. our RE II is limited at 225Bclock... Tried with 4 different CPU's under LN2 and all biosses... it just stops at 225Bclock... major bummer for an enthousiast board... hoping the RE III is a warranted 240 BclockerQuote:

I've tried with two PSU's several types actually but for some reason it will not run like it should. I've tried 2 x 1000w and 2x 850w and combinations with them but it seems like the 2x 5870's will not get enough power, so I'm stuck with one 1000w PSU.Quote:

Hello,
I have i7 965 OC at 25x160 right now but qpi is at 5.77 gts , voltages in auto as I don't know much yet.
can I just go to the bios and put 22.50 x 180 ? or that will increase memory freq too? i have 1600 with xmp profile. Is that simple to get qpi to normal which in my case has to be 6.4 gts!
though wierd thing intel utility says my expected qpi = 4.8 gts reported = 5.77 gts I thought i7 965 qpi default = 6.4 gts
Thanks for any help in advance!
I was only at 1.35 Vtt, so 3920 MHz was all it wanted to do with the CPU close to 4.6 GHz. This is just my workstation, so it won't be seeing any better cooling than it's got now. It does get very hot though at 4.6GHz, 3DM06 CPU tests push it close to 80*C and that's with an EK HF and Feser 480 with 1600rpm scythes. My PSU is fine, it was the other guy with PSU issues.Quote:

Ezequiel - that initial value is sometimes lower than the rest, sometimes it's not. It's normal for that to happen in my opinion.
Actually the 283 bclck was submitted by me ;):DQuote:

Yap...Me too suffers from similar problems, at 219 it is almost rock solid with more than a dozens of stability test hours, but once I move the clock 1mhz more (to reach 220) then it went bezerk :rofl:Quote:

2nd, as for the LLC feature. Why is it such a bad thing to get the lil' increase under load as opposed to having to crank it up for idle just to maintain stable vcore needed under load? In reality, how many daily hours are we really keeping our machines pinged to max under load and if so how much of a temp increae if any is it really? I personally use now, and have been overclocking with LLC Enabled since the early days of X38 with Q6600 and let me say in my experiences with that core and chipset, I welcomed it. If not enabled you now need to crank up your vcore so it idels at a few steps above what will be needed to keep stable since the droop will cause it to drop instead of increase. But if just for testing, we do what we gotta' do :)
Keep in mind, this is more of my personal experience and opinion. I found it helped in my past and present overclocks to keep idle vcore and temps lower.
With my r2e, max I could boot was 223 on a low multi. Now that I have a classified I have gotten the cpu up to 234, r2e is just bad with bclock.Quote:

Hey everyone.. im desperately looking for some info
I was just wondering about the new 32nm Xeon 56xx series and if the RIIE supports them ?
I really want to get the 5650
thank you !
kind regards
P.S. - Also might get a 5630 as well .
2.53ghz with a multi of 19 but also has a Turbo of 2.8ghz which means it has a 21 multi as well.
Seems to be a decent option for some relatively cheap fun.
Waht I meant to specify is testing with completely different model CPU's as in most cases, one model is just FSB wall imited in itself outside motherboard. In example, when I had this challange w/ my Q6600 on the x48 Rampage Ex most would say it hit a wall at 480 - 500 - 505. But then I got a Q9550 and it went beyond 525 easyily. In this case we should test w/ comparing the newer 930 against the old 920 or 950 to 940 or better yet 950 to old 920 and see if this helps. I'm thinking it's more of a CP FSB limit for now untill we get a new revision internal memory controller. But of course we can't really confirm without using another board of simular specs. I'd try on a DFI.Quote:

@Nuckin Futs: which bios do u use? i have 1639
i played little around this board and got it full stable at 216 BCLK, I'll try later with higher BCLK
http://www.imagesforme.com/thumb/thumb_cd3b9e46.jpg
Currently on BIOS 1802 930, just recently on BIOS 1406 when I 1st got the 930 and before on 1204 w/ my 920. Oddly enough it booted just fine w/ the 920 and BIOS 1406 even though the ASUS update indicated it wasnt supported yet a 950 i had for testing was. I sort of left it there and just recently moved to 1802 so I cant confirm anything new for 1639. For some reason my ACPI S3 doesnt work again but I may do a clean install w/ Windows 7 Enterprise instead of 7 Pro to confirm if it fixed.

Yes it's the mobo in my case. I had my pc apart and my mate was building his new pc. I took my CPU over, and it booted and ran SPI32M at 234 BCLK on air with his UD7. I can't get 221 BCLK stable on this RIIE, and 222+ won't even POST.Quote:

If you could see what is happening with an oscilloscope when using LLC compared to LLC off, you'd be shocked I assure you. The more it rises under load the worse it gets.
If anything, as I said before, the max LLC setting should keep the voltage the same from idle to load, or ideally, a slight droop of say 0.01v. This should ensure better stability, cleaner voltage, faster settling time and less ringback than having it rise 0.02 - 0.03v under load. These issues can actually cause instability despite having a higher voltage, so it can be counterproductive.
My recommendation for LLC would be:
Stock (LLC off): 0.05v droop
LLC Level 1: 0.03v droop
LLC Level 2: 0.01v droop

Hello,
I just installed probe II is that program buggy? It's showing me a lot warnings about voltages going a super low.
example DRAM bus = 1.65v then a warning showed up because was 0.00v , that can't be true? in everest home the voltages don't change at all but in probe 2 I get a lot warnings and most are for undervoltage! does anyone use that app or it's useless?
They're basically all the same.Quote:

Is anyone else annoyed by the limited range of temperature options in the fan control menu?
I use the thermal probes to monitor the temperate of the fluid in my cooling loop, and have the fans plugged into the "OPT_FAN" headers, so I can have the board automatically control the fan voltage according to the temperature of the cooling fluid. However, the current BIOS setting system only allows the fans to run at 12V when the probes read a minimum of 60C.
The fluid temp never goes above 28C, so the fans are stuck at just above 5V under load if I want to use fan control. :(
A more flexible range of options would be useful, like being able to set the temperature range to 25C-35C, having the fans run at 12V when fluid is at 35C for example, and at 5V when the temperature is 25C and below.
Is any one try a Coolermaster V10 on R2E ?

when I do that now my ram goes to 1654! I want to lock them so doesn't increase. I have corsair 12 gb 1600 1.65v
Also how to make windows sees my OC? I read something about cpu id max value or something but can't see to find that option in this board.
Does anyone know?

Good day all
After reading through 150+ pages trying to find my answer, I decided I just rather post my question:
So I upgraded from an Intel DX58SO to the Rampage II Extreme the other day. Still trying to get used to the bios, there are plenty more options in terms of settings(volts etc).
Now i have 3x2GB 2000Mhz Team Xtreem ram, but I havent been able to get it to run at 2000Mhz even using the XMP profile or Auto boost (cant remember the exact name).
I there any out there using this ram at its rated speed? Or what settings would I need to change in order to get the ram to run at its rated speed?
Specs:
i7 920 C0 Cooled by H50
RiiE
3 x 2GB Team Xtreme
Sapphire 4870x2
Odin 800W GT

i have same problem with my Apacer Giant II 2000 3x1GB, they are declared @ 2000MHz CL9 1.65v but i'm not able to do get them above 1900MHz :(
Appologies for double post.
Was chatting to another person with 2000Mhz ram and they also cant get past 1900Mhz. Hmmm suggestions?
I dont have the same kit as you but I got DDR3-2000 MHz+ 32M stable never tried for full stability as DDR3-1600MHz 6-6-6-X is almost as good bandwidth wise but with lower Vtt required.
DDR3-1965 MHz 7-8-7-20 1T was as far as I went for stability testing. That required 1.344 Vtt. Depends on your CPU IMC as to what Vtt is required for higher speeds. The board has no apparent issues with higher ram speeds.
Those are very decent timings at that speed. So the vtt is the main setting? Cause I was worried about the 4000Mhz uncore "limit" on the X58 that many people struggle to get past. Any other voltages that should be raised in order to get the system to boot @ 2000Mhz ?
@Cryptik, thanks for the help and could you possibly post your bios settings to get there?
On a side note has anyone modified their NB cooler for air as I get the feeling this would also help with stability and possibly a higher Bclk? ie Used an aftermarket cooler such as a thermalright or made their own? Had search through some of the other threads but seems the pictures have expired.
I recently bought R2E RNA and without sound card, i only got board nothing else. Lately i bought SupremFX-II audio card , pluged it into black slot (Supreme FX-II is lightining blue so the card should work) and trying to install drivers and i I'm getting this error "audio driver files do not support your computer hardware"
http://www.imagesforme.com/thumb/thumb_4cfea4ca.pnghttp://www.imagesforme.com/thumb/thumb_c8943e50.png
I have win7 x64 (I tryed and @ vista x32, XP x32), i used the latest drivers from asus site, the only thing that might be problem is that this supremeFX-II is from rampage formula board but i think it should work on rampage II extreme to??? in bios is audio enabled i tryed in bios AC97 and HD audio but i still get same error again, I really don't know what anymore to do?? is maybe sth with board wrong or is maybe somewhere trick in moterboard Jumpers????? plizz any suggestion
Totally depends on your CPU and ram. If your ram can do DDR3-2000, it basically just comes down to your CPU IMC. Some take significantly more Vtt than others for higher ram speed / uncore stability.Quote:

Could be the card is for a different board but it could be driver issue. I remember something about people having issues sometimes with W764, but I use same OS with no issues with card that came with R2E. Have you tried drivers for Rampage Formula to see if that works?Quote:

I'm not sure what to suggest as a solution. If you've tried all available drivers from Asus & Creative perhaps just use a proper stand alone sound card or get a R2E one second hand somewhere.Quote:

I heard good about Corsair but never got to use one yet. I had good luck with OCZ in the days of big 600W days as well as several Enermax big boys & 2 Antec w/ fan controller heareders to time in volting (the OCZ model did that too but via little screws in back). I must say, I love ASUS for good onboard surge protection. When my OCZ blew out, it went out with a bang & I was sure my then AMD X2 4400+ went w/ it but wow, it fired right back up with my back up power (A8N32-SLI Premium). This one went out with a little quietly and barely a little smell of burn out.
You don't overclock and not expect something to blow up. It isnt the 1st, and it wont be the last.
Got lucky and scored an i7 975 x factory sealed ( 1/2 of retail price ) to pop in my RX2 mb . Should have it early next week . Anyone need a sweet overclock-able i7 920 DO for $225.00 delivered anywhere in USA let me know , original box and unused heatsink .
Hi guys I had a quick question for owners of this Mobo. Im just upgrading my system and kept my R2E as the MoBo. I'm wondering I have been running 3 X GTX 280's in TRI SLI. but Now I'm keeping one of them and running 2 GTX 480s.
On the manual of R2E it says that the top to PCIE slots (Blue) are PCIE 1 and 2 and the Black one on the bottom is 3rd. But other mobos and threads state that the Middle one is usually the 3rd PCIE Slot.
How would I install the cards? Would I put the 2 GTX 480's on the top two and the GTX 280 (physx card) on the bottom? or the GTX 280 in the middle?
Hi every one.
other day i were discussing with a AMD user.he said the base FSB on previous generation was 333.but on this R2E board base FSB or (bus speed) is 133.actualy his agument was that the FSB degraded in new generation.what is the logic all of this.can any one explain.
thanks.
There is no more FSB on X58 chipset. It's called baseclock now and it doesn't have any connection with FSB.
This AMD user is telling you bs...
hey guys
iv been reading this thread alot (thx for the info) since i got my R2E... AMAZING board! i got 250 bclk out of it this weekend for some 2D benching. iv noticed that when i increase the PCI-e frequency the grapics performace degrades heavily! is there a way to counter that or is the only way to run at a lower frequency(PCI-e)? a friend of mine ran his at 103 (on a ASUS P6T Version 2 + i7-950) and then it was fine. where is the sweet spot and what should you avoid?
Specs:
i7-920
R2E rev2.01g (i think thats the right rev)
Team Xtreem 3*2gb 2000mhz
HIS 5870 1gb
Corsair TX-950
I just can't believe that you managed to achieve 250MHz BCLK with R2E. Can you post some proof, cpu-z validation for example?
here is the hwbot link:
http://hwbot.org/community/submissio..._920_16.14_sec
any advice about the PCI-e and 3D? i see most ppl 3D with a 920 at about 4,5-4,7ghz

Wow 250 BCLK, insane for an R2E. Rev 13 chipset though, the Rev 12's which most of us have are terrible by comparison.Quote:

Nice one Seraphs, keep up the good work, maybe I should put mine under dice or LN2, hehe
LN2 is a waste on these chips in my opinion. i got that on dice, its the boards limit (i think, hit a wall twice but with the right settings i got past it) im gona try get a 950 or Vivi's 975 for some 3D goodness :D

I also noticed that I could run CPU on higher clocks under LN2 with nVidia cards compared to ATI cards. The difference was ~100MHz.
Hi,
i'm very newbie on overclock world. I have a very simple answer:
is it normal that i have to put my I7 975's vCore to 1,4x (1,42 to 1,48) to get 4,2Ghz on my Rampage II Extreme ?.
if i put less voltage i can't reach 4,2Ghz.
Is it a C0 or D0? For a C0 that's normal, for a D0 that is higher than most require.
AFAIK, there are only D0 975's.
1.4V is way too much. Try to raise VTT voltage to 1.3V and then try to lower vcore voltage.

Are you sure is it doesn't normal?.
How can i get 200 BCLK and 4,2 with less vCore with a 975 EE?
Hello XS
I recently updated my bios(1504 from 1306) and I think I have done something
because my vcore is unstable as hell for some reason. Idle it is around 1.244v
and load it reaches up to 1.290v.
I have it set to 1.2500v in bios and I know mycpu needs around 1.24v to
be able to run 4ghz. What is wrong with my settings? My settings are:
AI overclock - manual
OC from CPU level up - auto
OC from Memory level up - auto
CPU Ratio setting - 25x
BCLK frequency - 160
PCIE frequency - 101
DRAM frequency - DDR3 1604MHz
UCLK frequency - AUTO
QPI frequency - AUTO
Dram timing control:
SETTINGS
1st iformation - 8-8-8-22
EPU II phase control - full phase
Load-line calibration - enable
CPU differential amplitude - auto
Extreme OV - disabled
Cpu voltage - 1.2500v
CPU PLL voltage - auto(1.82v)
QPI-Dram voltage - 1.3500v
IOH voltage - 1.151v
IOH PCIE voltage - auto
ICH voltage- 1.151v
ICH PCIE voltage - auto
DRAM Bus voltage - 1.65v unsure which is dram volt but it is set to 1.65xxx
DRAM REF voltage - 1.65v
Debug mode - string
Keyboard TeakIt control - disabled
CPU spread spectrum - disabled
PCIE spectrum - disabled
CPU clock skew - auto
IOH clock skew - auto
CPU configuration:
CPU Ratio Setting - 25x
C1E Support - enable
Hardware prefetcher - enable
Adjacent Cache line prefetcher - enable
Intel Virtualization tech - enable
CPU TM Function - enable
Execute Disabled bit - enable
Intel HT Technology - enable
Active Processor Cores - all
A20M - enable
Intel Speedstep tech - disable
Intel Turbo Mode tech - enable
Intel C-STATE tech - enable
What is wrong I got it stable at 1.256v before always and that
was perfect for me but now it seems unstable. I dosent matter
if I disable LLC or have it enabled it the vecore still goes up and down.
Full system specc:
CPU: i7 965@ 4ghz(160x25)
MOBO: ASUS RE II bios(1504)
GFX: ASUS RADEON 4870X2
RAM: Corsair Dominator 3x2gb 1600mhz 8-8-8-24
PSU: Corsair HX1000
HDD: 2x Intel G2 80gb raid0, 2x WD 500gb raid0 and 1TB WD non raid member.
cpu and gfx is watercooled and I have pretty much all cpu settings
enabled except Intel Speedstep tech should I disable something?.
My computer passes 20 times in linX as it is now but I dont like to
have a jumpy vcore as it ruins for me if I want to OC the cpu to 4.2ghz.
Also my QPIv is quite high but it needs to be over 1.35v with this cpu otherwise it becomes unstable.
Sorry, i'm very newbie on OC (sorry for my english too) but i think the reason is this:Quote:

Input your BCLK and CPU-Multiplier, the result is an excess of QPI (7.708) this causes instability.
Regards,
Try putting BIOS settings in PHP tags like I just did for you, makes it heaps less arduous to read your specs & browse the thread.Quote:

LOL, didn't notice about revisions though....Quote:

So u see my settings I have put the QPIv to 1.35v now what settings do u think I need to have to be able to runQuote:

At first i was annoyned about the overvoltage under load, however i have to agree with Asus on this.Quote:

i use to use llc on 1.38v idle 1.4 load
now its off and 1.36 idle 1.34 droop @ 4.4
Look at this interesting review about Extreme Editions and multiplier use:Quote:

excessive BCLK = excessive Tensíon and excessive Voltage on the Cores.
Depends what your CPU needs, you just need to work it out by trial and error. Try slowly increasing slowly from 4 GHz rather than jumping straight to 4.2 GHz.Quote:

Added 3 of the Newest Bios's to the Front Page. I downloaded them and uploaded them to my server for safe keeping.. Enjoy!
Feel free to PM me and let me know when a new bios comes out, so I can keep the front page updated.
btw, I finally got Fermie. TigerDirect and Newegg both got some in stock just now
he is right. there is no fsb as the memory controller was moved onto the cpu.Quote:

I'm trying to overclock my memory but I'm getting slightly stuck. I dont know how to change my dram frequency, my memory is in my sig, its currently defaulted to its current ratings, I want to try and get its default speed of 800Mhz a little higher. Could someone advise what I need to look at in the BIOS ?
Hi Sizmik . The sad thing that I really want changed in all mother boards is we can't set the memory frequency to exactly what we want . In your bios its under " Dram Frequency " . You can change it from there but the jumps are very high up and down so there fore you need to play with your " BCLK Frequency " & " CPU Ratio Setting " & " Dram Frequency " to fine tune the memory frequency and keep your " Target CPU Frequency " where it needs to be . What I do if I am going to run under the factory memory frequencies I will tighten up the memory timings and this will make your memory that will now be running at a lower frequency then factory specs just as fast . The rest is up to you to test it all out for stability of coarse . Remember also your " UCLK Frequency " will be changed when you play with the " Dram Frequency " so keep and eye on that before you save and leave your bios changes you have made . That's a common mistake some make not adjusting the " UCLK Frequency " back right when they are playing around with the " Dram Frequency " . Let us know how your making out , good luck !
cryptik i got a set of ocz reaper pc3-1500 "hypers " they much better than my hyperx 2000 cas8 on the board
crossin fingers hope i didnt get failin batch
funny i'm surprised ocz had some to replace an rma
I'll update what I can. Most of the driver stuff is OS Specific, Windows XP, Windows 7, windows 7 x64 ect...Quote:

Good looking out on that jasonelmore .
Nice one, post up some results when you've done some testing. Hope they are some of the newer batch IC's like the CMG corsair kits.Quote:

if bclk speed of 133 (bus speed in cpuz) got no link with FSB then what is it? some guys are just ignoring this fact or i didnt understand it correctly.so what advantage R3E have over R2E. sorry for my bad english
sorry for intruption.
if any one wana check first go to bios "advance setting" in "cpu setting" ratio setting here u can deal with FSB.
Thanks for that. I played around for quite a while and still couldnt get it changed lol. I think I'll leave the memory alone for now.Quote:

I've noticed no differences with BIOS 1802 vs 1504, voltage required for given clocks or otherwise. YMMV though.
Hi, I am in need of some pro assistance for my Asus Rampage II Extreme mobo and my Intel i7 975 set up.
Ever since I built my system, it has not shown me the true nature and capability of my components, so I have been directed here by a friend in search of answers and step by step instructions on how to get my system OC'ed.
Memory modules are Crucial Ballistix 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600 PC3 12800
Cooler i have is an Noctua NH-U12P SE2
OS is Windows 7 Ultimate
Oh and my start up is a battle which i do not understand why it struggles!

pls let me know how it works
hi
just curious. which new cpus are supported by this board.
Core i7 xpower .
i mean i9 etc....
1720 cas6 and 2050 cas8 so far and i havent pushed vdim over1.65 or pushed qpi over 1.42Quote:

Anyone has issues with vDROOP on the Rampage II extreme board? Both on the QPI and the DRAM, if i set to 1.65 it usually runs at 1.644.... =(, now i force it to 1.66 and guess what 1.65, and my pc is running snappier than ever. 1504 bios.
any 6 core 32nm????????????
