There are several tests that prefer HT on, 3D Mark 06 CPU test is another.
Is there such thing as a QPI speed WR or such?Quote:

I dont think that competition for QPI speed WR exists. But higher stable Qpi link speed means little more performance in 3D benching.Quote:

in my case, i believe i increased to 105Mhz PCI Freq to make my boardQuote:

i too had gpu driver crashes, but i think i fixed it with more cpu power.:shrug:
I just bumped my PCIE freq to 102mhz, my CPU voltage up one notch from 1.325 to 1.33125v, and my qpi up to 1.33125 from 1.325v.Quote:

P.S.
i have a i7 970 coming in the mail, should be here tom.
anyone test if the ln2 jumper if it helps any on ln2?
I don't get a bsod or cpu crash. It is only a gpu driver crash. Screen goes black for 1 sec, then comes back and a little message says that my gpu driver was restarted because it had a problem. It doesn't cause any problems with linx - I am linx 200 loops stable.Quote:

in your case you dont seem to need more volt to cpu.:shrug:
try a clean install of the drivers and update what you can/have not updated.
i was also crashing some drivers before and i believe it was related to IOH Voltage.
try and check your settings with other similar setups..
didnt help me at all, i wonder does it do anything :shakes:Quote:

and for some reason its more stable when i go higher and bench, BUT voltages are to high to run on 24/7
so what is recomended voltages for a 24/7 setup 20x200? (Vcore-Qpi-Pll-?) using bios 1102
question 2 . when i oc my max stable clock is 4388mhz, 1.5Vcore~ 1.82pll ~ qpi 1.45 and just raising ioh/ or ich to what feels fine . thats max what i can get stable . read lots about pll on 1.4-1.6? and Vcores around 1.38v?
what is your´s opinion on voltage on oc? ( i read about ppl having problems with "higher" clocks on W3540? any ideas?) oc bios 0099 ( most stable i have found yet, need other ?)
setup: RE3-W3540 D0,Gskill Trident 2000mhz cl8 1.6v,5970, corsair 1kw , cpu and gpu watercooled by 3x120 and 2x120mm thermochill rads

to get back on topic, i too have a xeon on this board and only thing i can tell you is, be carefull when using T-Balance/X-Power distribution profiles if you dont have your MOLEX CPU Cable plugged in..
i O'C to 4.2Ghz and then was trying to up it and while doing that i changed the profile from T-Balance to X-Power and it brought nothing but headaches for me since i dont have that Molex plugged in. if you do good for you.
RIIIE w/ Bloomfield = sucks
RIIIE w/ Gulfy = rulz

haha i don´t know really ! on XS 90% of your diffirent problems are found out in a thread and dont really need an reply :DQuote:

can´t really see why is should help but ofcourse i will give it a try, i been using both T-Balance/X-Power and i don´t really feel any diffirent on oc.
what bios are you using at 24/7 and oc bios ?
but thanks for a fast answering :)
and for other reply , yes i would like to own a Gulftown to but my wallet aint that big at the moment ;) bloomfield have to last a little while more and i problebly get a 980x when ppl uppgrade to sandy bridge ;) Ty anyway
i am using the 1102 bios, and i meant the molex plug called "EZ Plug" which i
believe supplies power to cpu.
but if its no difference for you between T/X power balance then good.
in my case if i go from T_Balance to X_Power i would get bad memory residuals in Linx no matter what qpi/dram voltage used, if i set it to T balance then everything is good.....:up:
maybe i should just plug that darn ez_plug myself...:yepp:
i cant hump over 4333mhz.....bad memory residuals if i go over that:down:
:shrug:Quote:

@soulblade: I think your volts are VERY high. Even for bloomfield. With 4.4ghz I only needed 1.425v with 1.4875v QPI for 12gb @ 2ghz. How are your temps? I find lower temps = lower possible load voltage.
it is very clear R3E is desigend for Gulftown now that I have both Bloomfield and Gulftown. 3 i7 950's and 2 i7 930's didn't do very well in my R3E, but my i7 970 ROCKS.
All the 950's and 930's did BETTER in Gigabyte UD3R with CPU PLL at 1.8v and QPI PLL adjusted to 1.16v!!! It is IMPOSSIBLE to get this combo on R3E!!!

hey no offense, i thought T_Balance in Digi+ PWR Mode kept everything normal and when you enabled X_Power it sort of turn the plugs into some kind ofQuote:

just as i thaught about that "easy plug" , by the way im using both 8 pin mb connectors , so om up in 16 lains in . so should have some little advantage of this?
did run som test last night, 3.8ghz 23x165 and mem goes in 992 cl9
Vcore 1.290 idle and 1.30x in full load,cpu pll 1.82 , qpi at 1.45 all other on auto , ( stress tested in linx <1hour full mem bench> and cinebench 11.5 a few times in a row)
resaulting in 37-56c on cpu , but cores run way higher, from 37-79
as i said before im running on watercooling in normal temped room, about 21-22c
anything under 1.290Vcore do instant bsod,guess its a "sweetspot" if i should be calling it that BAH .....
now im running on bios 1102 and so far it seems stable.

more tips about voltage and stuff will be appreciated :)
Thanks for answers
( Sorry for my english)
Please provide documentation supporting your claim. All documentation I've seen states that EZ_Plug is _only_ for pcie.Quote:

you can assume im wrong, heck i could be wrong i already said it.
so wacha want a COOOKIE...
im glad you went over 4.2Ghz:clap: and your not crashing your drivers on your GTX 275's

ussually in audio/elec devices when you refer to something as X is ussually a
power bridge to drive a higher volt/freq...
now like i said before you assumed i was confrontational...
I could be wrong:yepp:

Also when I enable xpower in digi power mode my qpi v droops all over the place
Do you know why that happens? When I leave it on tbalance its solid...
Can u help me solve or trace the source?
That's what I was trying to figure out.....
But u wanna focus in making yourself righteous or something..
So like I said before I could be wrong.....
So if you don't have any valid feedback, don't reply and look at your bs in wiring and assume I'm a moron.....its what I did. ;-)
The vdroop when Xpower is turned on is most likely caused by severely high temperatures in the mosfets providing power to the QPI bus.Quote:
Originally Posted by Andreezy

The stock cooler for R3E does NOT cool these mosfets. EK full coverage, koolance full coverage, and bitspower full coverage do cool these components.
Nobody is trying to be righteous. I want correct information, and I want to limit the spread of bad information. You obviously got the idea from somewhere, show where. That's all I've been asking. You got defensive when I asked you very nicely to prove what you were saying. You're not fooling anyone because everyone can see your comments. I've been polite the whole time. I even said 'please' when I asked for your proof.
ok, so hear this i could be stable anywhere from 4000mhz to 4400mhz usingQuote:

LinX even 15/17 passes @ upto 4.6Ghz and randomly it just goes BSOD/124
when using X_Power i have gone from 1.32v (QPI) all the way upto 1.58v QPI
no matter what i do i get BSOD/124 i have gone up and down many times
trying to find a stable qpi v, i only need (qpi)1.41v/43 to run 4.2Ghz and ram
@ 2000mhz so i refuse to give qpi over 1.58 just to hump over 4.4HGhz.
now through those finding/experiences i've gone through, i found out (for me)
that even @ stock speeds if i enable X_power i get BSOD/124 or just crash..
now someone came into the thread asking for help, cause they couldnt be
stable even @ low clock speeds with a XEON 3540...(soulblade) i tell him...
be carefull cause i run into a lot of issues when i enable X_Power,
i "believe" it must bridge into the EZPLUG to draw more power or something
i dont have the ezplugs plugged in so it could be my problem.....
immediately you try and jump down my throat coming all the way from left
field trying to catch a catchers fly-ball......asking for prooof or
documentation as to where i got my info from...
now from the minute i posted my power/clock profiles you came asking a question which i felt was biased and a sense of confrontation and i still answered...
since you know so much you should know what increasing the PCI-E freq does.....
now im the one trying to bull:banana::banana::banana::banana: people:ROTF:
hey thumbs up :up::up::up:
you deserve it.
again what are you trying to prove?
that i am wrong?
or that i gave a legitimize advice based on my experience using X_Power.
does it or does it do not affect Voltage....?
im done you can go :stick: and mole someone else.
i clearly stated i could be wrong,:up:
PS i too went to school for CS:welcome:
by the way, dont pollute the thread anymore.
i will not reply, you can PM or we can start a thread with informative information as to Xpower/T_Balance profiles and how to properly configure it.
im down for that...i would love to stabilize my chip at freq above 4.4ghz
Way to selectively quote to try and make yourself look good. Too bad for you everyone can see my original posts. I have been very nice to you. I only asked where you got your info. You're just discrediting yourself further with personal attacks, and making up lies. It only takes someone 60 seconds to look back at the comment history and see you are the trouble maker.Quote:

Hey guys, been a few months since I've posted in here. I'm still using BIOS 1005; with an i7 930 - seem to have it pretty stable at 4.312Ghz.
How has the BIOS evolved in recent months - any gains for Bloomfield chips with new revisions?
Also thinking of picking up an engineering sample 980x; and putting it under water. I see some of you guys are getting up to 5Ghz with that chip.
Seems you well do better with an unlocked chip in Mhz than trying to get a very high bclk stable. I use the 1005 bios.Quote:

Wish I could afford a Gulftown chip but unless they put out a sub $500 chip or I could pay Intel Retail Channel pricing it's a no go. Have a 10 month old boy so not to much money laying around anymore for expensive hardware.:(Quote:

I do have some minor issues thus far with my build. The main components are the R3E motherboard, Intel 980x processor, Corsair 1200 watt power supply, 12 GB G. Skill RAM, dual NVidia 580 GTX graphics cards (in slots 1 and 3)... in a Zalman MS1000-HS2 case.
Firstly, the computer boots up fine without any problems. Windows loads fast via the 160 GB Intel SSD. Both graphics cards are detected. Everything runs great. No issues with temperatures or any error messages. But after shutting down the computer via Windows 7, I can't get it to restart afterwards. I press the power button on the case, and I hear a click, but nothing happens. The lights on some of the fans stay on throughout. Only after I shut off the power supply from the back switch and turn that on again does the computer reboot. What could be causing this?
I also have an interesting issue with the Marvell Sata 6 Gb/s Controller on the Asus Rampage III Extreme motherboard. When I plug in one hard drive into one of the ports, it is recognized. When I plug in 2 hard drives, they both disappear in Windows 7. But when both are still plugged in, they show up during the start up screen.
If I take one hard drive and put it in a USB enclosure and connect it via USB, it shows up, and the other drive connected via the Sata 6 Gb/s controller is still there. So I know both hard drives work. It's only when both are connected to the Sata 6 Gb/s controller they disappear. There are hot swap bays on the front of the case, so the drives are easy to remove. I have updated the latest drivers off the Asus site, but still no luck.
Again, this is my first build, and my first new computer in 8 years. I bought this mainly for video editing in HD. I might play some games on it down the road. But I haven't overclocked anything or done any other mods to it (the graphics cards came superclocked). Overclocking is a whole new world and I'm slowly learning about it, but I would like to resolve these two issues first anyways. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
what other pci-e devices do you have plugged in??? im running 2 gtx 580's a revo2 360 and a asus xense... im not too happy about my revo speeds... haven't tried slot swapping or removing cards yet, but when i get back from my trip i'm going to be turning off cards...Quote:

I still have issues with the SATA 6 Gb/s controller though.
Hi Vladimir,
That does look like a promising solution ,but alas, the company is out of stock and unfortunately
they don't appear to be set up to notify you when they have an item back in stock. That comes
in handy at times. I did make my own fix that should work with any USB device but for some reason
a USB driven laptop drive plugged into the front port doesn't work unless I plug into the same USB port
on the back of the case that is supplied by the mother board back panel that is feeding the USB port at the front.
What I did was buy four USB cables about five inches long with a five pin male header on one end. Those
plugged into the dual female headers coming from the front panel USB ports. That allowed me to pass the
male USB ends out through the back of the case and plug into four female USB ports in the rear. They work
with a jump drive memory device but not the hard drive. All I did was extend the rear port to the front. Two
feet of cable and the drive want work. I can't see that being a power issue. Its just two feet of wire and
the wiring has to be right for other USB devices to be working from the front ports. The only thing it might be
is a return ground issue. The cables from the front have their shields and grounds tiied together and the four I
bought are on seperate pins of the header strip. Hmmm, some experimentation may be required.
Hopefully that hardware solution will be back in stock soon and I can get my four USB ports back.:)

Nothing but problems with the SATA 6GB on this Board, stick with the Intel controller.
I'm running 2 WD 1TB Sata 6 drives (in addition to 4 normal) and haven't had a problem. Their version of Raid works but I reformatted to 2 singles. Sorry to hear you guys are having trouble. :(Quote:

i dont know or remember exactly why, i always did it like that with
scsi controllers to enable raid before loading windows.
Format the drives before installing Windows (or just loading Windows)?
I'm not using the drives in RAID either (yet). I'm not even sure if these 2 SATA 6G port support RAID (there's been conflicting reports on it).
windows has to load special drivers for raid/hot plug.Quote:

if you dont load the required driver for raid/hot plug, the

also being that hot plug is a server grade function for drive array.
The sata 3 works great for me. Is this a western digital drive? You may take a look at this> http://community.wdc.com/t5/Desktop/...ght/true#M2284Quote:

Can anyone give me some advice, what i can do to achieve more high bclk?
They disappear in both Windows explorer, and the DMS. I haven't tried IDE mode. I haven't tried RAID either. The drives are there for a bit, but then disappear. But during boot-up, they both show up initially. I'll try the link that thesaucier provided and see how that goes.Quote:

try lower your CPU PLL Voltage to say start at 1.40Quote:

you may have to raise the vcore a tad too.
This is on air what are your temps?
@BSViper:
Try higher PCI-E clock.
From my experience, when going over 200MHz BCLK, PCI-E should be around half of BCLK (while Slow Mode is disabled).
I almost forgot, try raising IOH voltage too. All other voltages look more then enough, except DRAM voltage, set it to 1.6-1.65V just to be sure.
For me, that's usually indicative of unstable memory or IMC. Try raising your QPI a bit more.Quote:

now things are better with the NB HS/Fan on it..normal 46C/50C load.
my kit its a apogee xt, D5 Liang pump, DD radiator with Delta fans to cool a i7 970
new chip.:up:, so far i love it. moving around 68/70GFlops in Linx @ 4.2GHZ.
im currently doing 4.2Ghz (200x21) Ram is clocked to 2005Mhz @ 200blck, Voltage is CPU 1.34v, QPI 1.32v.
i am spent tonight already, all day putting stuff together:up:.
i will try and stabilize the system tomorrow:yepp:

hey guys, i've been seeing some good comments about BIOS 1203
was wondering if anyone has a link for download. i've been looking back a good number of pages and i think my crap eyes keep passing over it and missing it.
as of current, i'm running 0901 still @ 4.35ghz (117-bclk, 1.38125v vcore, 1.3125v qpi) & 12gb 1880mhz (1.7225v dram, 7-9-7-24-72-1T, 2:16)
i'd like to try out 1203< for some updates and such.

Hey guys,
Looking for some guidance on the potential for two dual-GPU Fermi cards on the R3E. Based on Guru3D's earlier attempts at quad SLI with this board, I am concerned it may not be possible.
I understand 4 discrete cards will not work with quad SLI, as outlined in the linked Guru3D article; however, I'm hoping two dual-GPUs may be a different story.
Also...I understand quad SLI can be overkill, but this is XS. Need I say more?
Thoughts?
Thanks!Quote:

Quad SLI is disabled in the NVIDIA drivers unless there are 4 PCI slots running at actual x16. So for this (with X58 chipset) you need an NVIDIA nf200 chip, which you can find on boards that do support Quad SLI such as the Gigabyte UD9 and EVGA X58 Classified 4 way SLI.Quote:

But to answer your question. Two NVIDIA dual GPU cards can run without restriction on the R3E. Preferably run them in slots 1 & 3 which will give both your cards full x16 bandwidth, although it has been proven that the difference between x8 and x16 is very little because its not yet a bottleneck. I ran two dual GPU ATI 5970's on this board for a while and the performance was just incredible. I was getting 3DMark Vantage close to P48,000. Now Im running Tri SLI GTX 480s and get a similar score. I did it for 3D surround but I wish I had stuck with my 5970s now. No more graphics cards for me until next gen NVIDIA, if they bring out something decent.

Heys guys ... any word or advice on how to hook up my Crucial C300 64GB Satat6gb SSD to the Marvell 9128 controller? I keep on trying to load Win7 to it, but during the install process, it is not detected when connected to the SATA6 plugin. I can get it to be seen when I connect it to SATA II connectors, but I want to use the SATA6G with the Marvell controller. Any advice?
This is driving me nuts!!:confused:
Just chuck in 3 x GTX580's; I'm gaming at 100FPS in BFBC2 maxed settings at 8100 x 1440 (3 x Dell u2711's). All games I play have fantastic frame rates with these cards, at that resolution. I'd stay away from Quad SLI, based on my previous experience with two GTX 295's - just doesn't scale much more than the 3-way, plus I had bugs with various games.Quote:

Only grab two or three of these cards if you're gaming in surround, otherwise it would be complete overkill.

Due to cabling and tubing constraints (WC), it would be far easier for me to utilize a pair of dual-GPU Fermis. Perhaps I'll consider a tri-SLI setup after I replace the board.Quote:

Thanks again for the quick responses and help!
I'm using tri sli 480's to do the same, but I’m at 6100 x 1200 res! how much ram are you using at that res on the 580's? Would love to go for u27's but I think it would be getting close to my 1500 mb ram capacity in some games. I find Batman AA with all eye candy is already very close at about 1400mb.Quote:

In the beginning when I hooked up the SATA III cable to the SSD, the BIOS recognized the hard drive in the list of hard drives. I made my DVD/CD-writer the first boot device, the C300 my second and then disabled the third device. But after booting into my Win7 DVD, Windows couldn't find a hard drive!! What the heck happened? Now it seems no matter what combination of settings I use with the Marvell SATA 6G controller, I can NOT get Windows 7 64-bit operating system to load onto my SSD using the 6G port. What am I missing here?Quote:

I don't max the AA; I can - it doesn't affect framrates hardly at all - but it gives me some input lag in BFBC2. You'll find the extremely small pixel size on the u2711 means you'd need a magnifying glass to tell when AA is on or off. For me it's just a competitive edge to have low input lag and no AA. Same with Vsync, that annoys me as well.Quote:

AKHandyman - welcome to the "Marvell Sata 6G Issues Club". You are member #183792.
Seriously though, I looked online in other forums too and have found others having issues with the Sata 6G controller. My issue is when I connect two hard drives to each port they both disappear in Windows 7. But they are both shown in the BIOS at start up. When only one hard drive is connected, it is fine and it works. But I guess you're having trouble with just one drive connected to a Sata 6G port?
I think you guys having problems with the 6g controller have driver issues.
Do you have any friends with MSDN so you can get the latest version of windows 7 from microsoft? The drivers are included with that version(I used it for my install with my own win7 key and it worked great).
LOL!! That's funny ... I was wondering if there should be a dedicated thread for this ... :DQuote:

At one time, when I first fired up the computer, the drive was detected, but since that time, it has vanished!! :(
I will try clearing the CMOS and see if I can get that controller to recognize the drive again ... after that, I am not sure what to do ...:rolleyes:
How's about a linky? :DQuote:

1203 Bios could drive finally 4610 MHz with that.
With the 1005er and the 1102er that did not function.
4610 Mhz @ 1,440v.
Watertemp ~ 23°c / 73.4 °F
http://www.abload.de/thumb/settings4...1440v.nmuw.jpg
Now I am tested Prime @ 1,432v.
I am running driver 1.0.0.1036 for the SATA 6G controller from 03/17/2010. That is that latest one that was found in the device driver update. That is also the latest one as stated by ASUS support.
I was using AHCI mode for the drives. I switched to IDE mode, the drives reappeared in Windows 7 for a bit. I played a short video off one of the drives, and it worked for a bit, but then it started freezing, and eventually both drives disappeared.
