CAS - too high;
tRfc- too high;
Write to read, read to write, read to read dif. ranks and read to write same ranks - too high

Try lowering those slowly...

Hey guys, had my R3E die on me and shipped it into Asus before I knew they would cross ship on ROG boards:mad:

Now my RMA status is listed as "waitswap". I have no idea what that means but based on previous RMA nightmares I and others have had, I am expecting a lengthy and frustrating turnaround here. Anyone know what "waitswap" means?

they waitin to swap:eek:
you can have mine if you want:yepp:

Yo guys! I'm selling one of the two amazing chips.. Just thought I'd let you guys know first. Cheers!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...STRK:MESELX:IT

Hi, I hope someone can help out with my questions on this board and a 3003B288 980x.
First of all, I have my first stable linx 20 pass using 146x30 for 4.4 GHz. I have 1.375V set for the cpu but in CPU Z the value seems to vary alot under load. It goes between 1.376, 1.389 and up to 1.396V. Why is this?
I set loadline calibration = full in the bios. What does this do exactly?
There is also a jumper on the board which people say should be used. Which one is this?
Thanks

Hey Bodar, I just wanna know if it degrades to overclock chip that high? I know it has proper cooling, thats why I'm asking?

Thanx man

You probably refer to QPI Load Line Jumper Switch (To enable it , you need to put the jumper on the first top 2 pins.)

For my 4.3 Ghz Overclock, I use QPI Load Line Calibration and I also use Full Calibration on the Vcore (HT on)

Thanks. What exactly does the QPI load line jumper do?

How does $800 sound?

Hey Karlitos. Nice pc you have man! Really awesome! :D I dont think it degrades the chip as long as you stay within a certain voltage range.. The two I've had are still going strong. The only time I really messed up a cpu was when I pumped 1.55 - 1.60 vtt into them.. I think I did 2.0v on the vcore with that one as well.. It was crap anyway and never clocked high so I'm kinda glad I broke it.. That was my goal so i could get an RMA.. :) I wonder how Splave is doing with his new chip..

You can try CPU-Z v1.55 should fix the load issue. But you can also check via ProbeIT or ROG Connect. About the jumper for QPI LLC you just try it with it on and off and see which works best for you

First try with my new RIIIE:)

I got my tracking number today :) Now all I have to do is wait for Fedex to load the International Saver camel and feed it before the long trip to Canada :rofl:

Hope the board isnt a dog...

Can't talk, flashing BIOS. :D Or two.

Does anyone have detailed changes that were included in BIOSs' 704 and 802? All ASUS have is "improve system stability", which is so helpful... lol.

Does it really matter? We have two new BIOS'es to play with. :D

Yes because if it just says "enhances RAM overclockability under T1 timings" for example, then I know that I can tweak the RAM, and not spend a few days waisting my life trying to get more out of my CPU when the BIOS update doesn't change it :up:.

You got the point! But there may be some other improvements. ;) Not yet sure, but it looks like I just might drop vCore a notch (well, two notches, as I don't use smallest steps).
