Just started OCing my RIIIE this week, 980x. At 4.7GHz LinX run I started to get wandering erros in PC probe as shown in the picture. I am currently working my way through the thread lloking for siumilar situations.
Does anyone know what might be causing this problem - what can I adjust to resolve - BIOS 1005
Any assistance is appreciated.
@ x-built-Stan ......to much CPU PLL ! ( 1,88x )
Not over than 1,8v. . Over CPU PLL 1,8v. kills the CPU.:(
The 6core CPU`s run`s better @ CPU PLL 1,55 -1,60v.
And PCIe @ 120 ...Why ?
Just left this club for the classy 3 way club... :shocked:
No, CPU PLL won't kill CPU if kept under 2V and for sure it won't kill it if around 1.88-1.89. It actually helped many to gain stability.
And you are right about other stuff. :up:
Never mind the PC Probe, it tends to make such mistakes. Use 3rd party SW like RealTemp, HWMonitor, AIDA64 and such.
You might try BIOS 0095 (newest), 0096, or 0011 for Gulftown.
Start by dropping PCI-E to 100-105 and try CPU PLL range of 1.2-1.6V
And, yeah, use updated LinX from Intel 4.5GHz & 5GHz LinX Stable Club. See the GFLOPS rise. ;) And temps BTW.:rolleyes:
@ donmarkoni ....what the best Bios for Bloomfield CPU`s ?
From my experience, CPU-Z specifically causes problems with PC Probe. Only when both programs are run simultaneously.
Does PC Probe throw errors without CPU-Z running? It was mentioned much earlier in this thread by an Asus support member that there was a conflict between the two programs. A solution was in the works at the time but I guess they haven't found it yet.
@ mahaudi
Try bios 0095 for Bloomfield. Works very well with my 920.
Thanks for the advice donmarkoni. I'm running a 4.806GHz LinX test now. I have 12GBs of memory so it takes forever. Has anyone noticed the relationship between GFlops in LinX and the QPI PLL voltage. the GFlops in LinX go up as the QPI PLL voltage increases. I recorded ~40 GFlops woth QPI PLL of 1.7v vs ~47GFlops @ 1.8v - w/980X
Also, what are the 0095/0096 bios?
How do you flash it? Try entering BIOS when booting and flashing from there. Works best for me.
You mean CPU PLL voltage, right? Yes, I noticed it.
GFLOPS is related to other voltages as well, in the way that if you set wrong voltages (too low, or sometimes too high) you will lose performance.
If "error" is small, you will probably pass stress testing, but that's not it, at least does not satisfy me.
CPU PLL 1.65-1.8V voltage range is most useless, so go below it (as you have used range above it).
I don't really understand the question about BIOS'es. Those are latest (0095) and 3rd latest (0096). 1203 is the 2nd latest.
On the ASUS support site for the R3E, the latest listed is 1102. I flashed 1102 and constantly got a CPU OVer Temperature warning. Bios has the CPU temp at 214C - in reality it was -15C. So I flashed the 1005 bios and the over temp warning went away. Are 0095 and the other performance or beta bios?
Thanks
I just flashed the Bios to 0095 using the EZ Flash 2 Bios Rom Utility in the Bios tools section. Everything worked fine. :up:
Give it try.
Where can I download all Bios Version (and Beta ) ?
Does anyone have a LinX stable Bios settings for a 980X @ 5.054GHz (133x38)?
Here are the settings that I am running right now:

I saw earlier that someone said EIST is marked as SpeedStep in BIOS. I have always had SpeedStep set to Disabled, but when I look on CPU-Tweaker, it says EIST is still ON. I can disable it through CPU-Tweaker, but what combo of settings in BIOS will actually disable EIST properly?
First, be sure your memory can run stable at those settings (I don't doubt, but just to be sure). I would raise memory voltage to 1.65V no matter.
Second, raise IOH voltage, it could be too low for 210MHz BCLK.
Then, I would play with CPU and VTT (QPI/DRAM) if still unstable.
Give it a try and report back. ;)
1.65v isnt needed in all cases for ram. My modules are rock solid at 1600 Mhz, 6-8-6-20 1T at just 1.59v and 1.275 QPI.
I have great ram, a great mobo, and a rubbish CPU that spazzes out at 4.2 Ghz, and requires a hefty 1.33v to work at 4 Ghz.
I plan on keeping the CPU until it burns out or is completely obsolete though, I cant be bothered with buying a new one for a chance of a better overclock / lower volts, nor do I want to downgrade my mobo to sandybridge.
Ive tried getting mine to run at 2000 Mhz, but it just wont work. The maximum it is stable at is around 1850 Mhz with 8-8-8-24 timings. I have 3 dual channel kits specified with 2133 Mhz and 9-9-9-28 timings @ 1.65v, but I think its my CPU that cant handle over 1850 Mhz, nor 4.2 Ghz because of how voltage hungry it is.
Cas 6 at 1600 Mhz is really good though.
Hopefully when Ivy Bridge is released, there will be some nice price cuts on X58 CPUs. If I can ever get a 6 core Gulftown for <£250, then I will, otherwise I'll keep the 920 until 16 nm CPUs are out.
Has anyone managed to get Wake On Lan (WOL) to work on this board?
When turning the computer into sleep mode (S3) it just restarts and turns itself back on straight away.
Attempting it from shut down mode (S5) the computer just doesn't respond.
I have done:
Enabled Wake from S5 (under chipset features)
Enabled Boot from WAN (under chipset features)
Enabled Wake on PCI and PCIE (under power management)
Enabled exactly the same in the device configuration under windows
I am using the WOL under Tomato to send WOL packets but nothing seems to work!
Thank you.
I'm running the OCzs (see signature) which are rated at 1.65v. When I try to set that inthe bios, I get a warning saying that 1.65 will damage my CPU. Does anyone know why? I'm running a 980X - first time out with this chip - usually run a 920 or 930.
Also, have any of you managed to get a stable 5GHz+ OC run in LinX for the stability club? Is anyone trying - other than myself.
Thanks
Ahhh I wonder if that is it... I have BIOS 1102?
I got it to work... from my iPhone I switched my computer on from S5. Then I tried it again... didn't work. I unplugged the computer, plugged it back in and then it turned on by itself... strange!
I may try flashing BIOS chip 2 with 1005 then.
Thank you!
1.65 V is the max recommended voltage to RAM when Vqpi is on default.
The technical reason is that memory controller is powered at Vqpi and it is physically connected to RAM.
To avoid that Vram comes back to IMC, destroying it, there are protection diodes that block the Vram voltage.
If the difference between Vqpi and Vram is less than 0.47 V, the diodes are closed but over 0.47 V the junction opens and Vram can go to IMC, destroying it.
If you want to use Vram over 1.65 V, the trick is to push Vqpi to mantain Vram>Vqpi difference less than 0.47 V.
Anyone know how to get rog connect via cable to work? I had it working and removed the cable a few days ago now when I try to connect the latop says no connection.
step 1 plus into pc
step 2 plus into laptop
step 3 hit connect button
step 4 open rc tweekIT
am I missing anything?
Following quote is as much documentation you will ever need, and that I ever had on that topic. ;)
Thanks Brama! Precise, concise and understandable. :up:
When you set in BIOS to 1.65V it is actualy set to 1.65625 or similar, so it's over 1.65 and they (Asus) are just warning you that if you kill you CPU, it's not their responsibility. ;)
There are two Gulftowns in Intel 4.5GHz & 5GHz LinX Stable Club, but picture is there only for one and the other is missing. There is one Bloomfield over 5GHz too.
I would try do 5GHz LinX stable, if I had phase change unit (read: money to spend one one :rolleyes: )
Well it wasn't the BIOS with the WOL issue. Both 1102 and 1005 do exactly the same.
Sometimes the WOL works sometimes it doesn't. Appears to be random.
I think it is either an issue with the board/BIOS or something is going wrong at the router level. I will try just connecting a laptop and my computer via a hub to see if it is the router that is distrupting the magic packets.
Any other suggestions would be greately appriciated. :)
BTW I am using an ASUS RT-N16 with Tomato build 54 installed.
Well it is the board that is at fault.
I have at last got it to WOL from a cold start (plug the computer into the power socket > WOL from iPhone).
The Solution: Enable ONLY 'Boot from PCI' and 'Wake from S5 state'. Before I had 'Boot from LAN' and it didn't like it.
However, if I shut down the computer using Windows, WOL fails to wake the computer.
So now I have problems with Windows and WOL! If I put the computer into sleep mode, it automatically turns back on! :mad:
PROBLEM SOLVED!!!
It was the ethernet drivers. I uninstalled the latest Intel ones, Windows automatically installed the ethernet drivers and it worked fine.
When I turned the computer off using the Intel drivers, the ethernet indication light went out. Using the stock Windows ones, the indicator light stays orange.
WOL now works perfectly, cold start, shutdown/S5 and sleep S3. The automatic wake from sleep was due to interference from mouse/keyboard. Removing their ability to wake the computer in Device manager fixed it. I am now able to turn my computer on from within my own LAN and over the WAN. I can also remote in using my iPhone over the LAN/WAN using Remotr -very good app by the way.
Strange that the official, latest drivers from Intel disable the WOL ability...
Damn it, Intel...
This piece of silicon won't work at bclk more then 215 Mhz..

but only with slow mode enabled, which is unusable for 3D. The problem is QPI link speed for locked multi CPU's like your 920.
This utility is vista sidebar gadget in AIDA64(Everest), when you enabled you'll have all this information on your desktop:).
Brama, Donmarkoni, thesaucier - thanks for the info on the memory voltage.
I'm making a run in LinX now 5.022GHz. About 3 hours remaining.
donmarkoni,
Phase change is not that expensive. I got mine for less than $700 including shipping from Taiwan to California.
FAILURE on the 19th cycle :down:
Retuning for tonight :yepp:
Nice run! :up:
hi guys!!! i'm new on a Rampage III Extreme.... i'd like to know ... should i enable qpi pll!? and what is that? (never had an intel mainboard before, i had amd mains for the past 7 years , wth, was time to change :P)
With the SATA 6G Marvell controller recently going TANGO UNIFORM on my R3E, I desperately wanted to RMA this poor 'ole boy. I was afraid because I had heard that sometimes dealing with ASUS could be a nightmare. :eek:
Thankfully, when I bought my R3E board, I got the VIP membership. I guess the perks of buying $400 motherboard. :D
I should have the new board cross-shipped from Fremont, CA real soon. I was told by the wide-eyed gent, Mark, that the new boards have a far better Marvell controller onboard. I do hope so ... I don't like being without for very long ... :p:
:up: to ASUS though, very nice guy, that Mark. And the process so far has not been what I imagined it to be. Whoo! ;)
Oh, you get better RMA service on ROG boards?
Too bad that mine wont break lol.
Not using sidebar either, don't like it. Just run AIDA64 and use OSD. ;)
No proble, you're welcome. Looking forward to your second run. :up:
Yeah, I know, but it's still about 3/4 of my monthly paycheck. Low standard here. :(
:welcome:
You mean QPI LLC, right? It is load line calibration for VTT (QPI/DRAM) voltage and you should enable it, cause it sets voltage just right as you set in BIOS, no vdroop.
yes sorry , i meant QPI_LLC jumper on the mainboard as shown in this pic ....
http://www.pctunerup.com/up/results/...837_resize.JPG
wasn't that allready on intel mainboards? :rolleyes:
ok that's nice to know , i'll enable the jumper :up:
and .... what are those two " EZ Plugs " on the mainboard ? should i connect power to theme? the same thing for those two 8 pins cpu power, wich should i connect? .... the user guide says that one is V1 and V2 for the second, i guess should i connet the V2 only, right? ...
i'm sorry for all this questions, but i need to know all about, is my first intel mainboard ;)
ok.... thank you very much for the advice ;) i'll try by connecting the two 8 pins and try as you did, 8 + 4 .... ehehhe ... ;)
Has anyone noticed that their CPU tempertures are not showing up in CPU-Z hardware (V1.17.0 Driver version 135)? Mine did at one time. AThe temp sensors must be fine because all cores show up in Real Temp GT 3.60
Finally made it LinX stable - 5.0022GHz :D
Submission is in :up:
can someone tell me what BIOS is for Bloomfield the best?
I downloaded the latest hwmonitor free and it seems to show 6 cores. Some of the voltages seem to be mislabeled though. No Idea what it thinks CPU PLL is, but IOH PCIE +1.5V is probably CPU PLL.

I've never had something read my GTX275 VIN's before, I wonder why they're running at different voltages. Both are EVGA GTX275 Superclocked, and they don't throttle down either(I use evga precision to force them to full speed all the time).
OPT1 temp: Ambient
OPT2 temp: Coolant
OPT3 temp: Exhaust
why on windows cpu-z says that (i'm at default speed) i've got 22.000v on cpu? O_o

Hi all my new R3X just arrived and i have some very first questions.
1.About the fan controlling , i noticed that all FAN headers are 4pin, my HAF-X's fans and my NH-D14's fans are all 3 pin , so how can i let the motherboard automatically adjust the fan speed according to temps (Q-FAN) ????
Is there a way through bios to change the way the mobo controls the fans (instead of PWM to switch to classic 3pin control process?)
Otherwise the only way is a fan controller or maybe adapters 4pinPWM to 3pin?
2. I also would like to know which bios is the best for i7 OC. I always download the latest official version but if your experience is different ..be my guest :)
Is anyone running 4-Way SLI with this board? If, how is it working out?
quad sli is not supported on the R3E as it lacks the second NF200 which is required for sli. see hilbert's article on guru3d:
Quad SLI on ASUS Rampage III Extreme is not possible
asus came up with an add on board which is equipped with two NF200 and plugs into pcix slot 1 and pcix slot 3. this addon board brings quad sli to the R3E:
Asus-Rampage-III-Extreme Daughter-Board
there is also some discussion on this going on here:

I've asked this three times with no reply.
Can someone verify if CPU-Tweaker misreports EIST?
I have SpeedStep set to disabled in BIOS, but CPU-Tweaker says that it is enabled.
How do you disabled EIST on R3E in BIOS?
I always [disable] cpu turbo power limit, and then go into the cpu configuration and turn off C1E [disable], Cpu TM function [disable]. There is also two more settings i turn off, Intel Speedstep Tech [disable] and Intel turbo mode tech [disable]. The latest cpu-z has issues with this board. Drop back to a older cpu-z and see if that helps.
Sorry about that , I misread your post about the cpu-tweaker. I was thinking you was asking about the voltage as it is grayed out in cpu-z with the latest on this board. I will download that program and try it on mine.
If you mean the "eist" is checked even after you disable it in the bios. then that is normal as this setting enables you to change multi's in cpu-tweak. As i turned all my settings off in the bios and it holds at the 20x multi no problems showing in cpu-tweak. Even when i load it and it goes to idle it stays locked at 20x.
Is the TP-LINK WIRELESS N 300M PCI ADAPTER compatible with this board?

Does anyone know of software that can be used to dynamically tune the memory on the X58 chip? I used to use nTune on the nForce chips.
It seems I got my CPU running stable at 4.2 Ghz with HT again - 3 days of gaming with no crashes.
It eats up just under 1.4v though, 82 degs max temp during gaming, but just as long as I dont run prime it should be fine.
My CPU is a stupid CPU :(
1.28v = 3.8 Ghz
1.3375v = 4 Ghz
1.3875v = 4.2 Ghz
(LLC on 100%).
Why cant the thing just die within its warranty period so I can get a better one lol. At least its still working after 2 years.
On my previous UD5, I needed to use 1.45v QPI and 1.4v on the CPU to get stable at 200 BCLK and 4.2 Ghz. The R3E is stable with 1.275v QPI and 1.3875v CPU, plus just 1.59v for Cas 6 ram @ 1600 Mhz.
It should be fine as long as it doesnt go over 85 degrees during gaming. Must skip Ivy bridge and wait for 16nm before upgrading.
BHAV FYI HT does almost nothing in most games...
No, I think that running it 24/7 at 1.38v maybe unsafe and it might die because of that much voltage. The max temps are 82 degrees on Core 1, and under 79 on the others after hours of Civ V.
Civ V however does appear to be making use of HT in the CPU usage graphs, its a very CPU / Multithread hungry game particularly in the later stages of each game.
Has anyone has Turbo EVO stop working? When I start mine it looks like its running (in task manager), but the window never comes up. I even tried uninstalling and re-installing and resetting the system to the defaults. :confused:
I am about to start building my new system and I have a question relating to SLI and the recommended configuration. The manual recommends using slot 1 and 3 for SLI, but can I use slot 2 and 4 instead?
The reason is that I am considering an OCZ Revo SSD for slot for the x4 slot and MB will be inverted so my H20 blocks on VC's will not be visible if I have to use slot 1 and 3.
TIA
