Just got mine up & running, so far so good...
I got a rock steady 230 on my 950 (CPU never got over 226 on my previous X58 board, but never had a classie) on a TRUE, PCI-E 105, QPI at 1.5 (Bios 534)Quote:

One thing I did notice is it took quite awhile for the reboot to take place and the firmware update to start, then all went well.
Sound good to my ears , would like to hear from others to . As you push the bclk further Lee if you hit a wall try bumping the pcie 100 up a bit to further your bclk . Thanks for the your findings so far , appreciate it . Have a good buddy selling his older stuff and is buying my R2E and i7 920 off of me so I may be most likely buying a R3E .Quote:

I'm in desperate need of a better Bios, been struggling to go past 210 bclck on a 980X and 920 that can do >225 on my RIIE.
Any help will be appreciated...I would really like to give Asus a positive review here...http://www.overclockers.com/forums/s...d.php?t=642394
newest beta is 0601 dated on 07.05.2010

VTT/QPI Load-Line Calibration is set to OFF by default. I would recommend people to manually enable it, as from using a multimeter, the VDrop on the unmodified VTT is around 0.05V, and the VDroop is another 0.05V again. So under load the real VTT value is actually around 0.1V less then what you set in BIOS. With the VTT/QUI LLC enabled, the VDrop is +.004V, and VDroop is -.005V compared to what is set in BIOS.Quote:

mmm what's so great about it then in your screenshot ? Seems pretty average to me :D
It allowed me to OC another 3 x 21 MHz.
Remains more stable
Ah great.
It's not as bad, I measured my droop on QPI with multimeter and 1.300 bios ends up with 1.260v after droop and while linxing, while 1.3500 ends up with 1.300v. I guess I won't be swapping that jumped anytime soon just for average water cooled OC.Quote:

Didn't do much testing as I got it yesterday, but crashed my car today, so not in the mood. :(
First impression is that it's much more stable and cooler than my DFI UT X58.
Is there a BIOS template, or should I make one?
BTW, would anyone share that new beta bios?
does anyone know if the swiftech MCW-NBMAX will fit? it looks like the nb heatsink is similar to rampage 2 so it should fit.
I plan on using it, it lines up over the holes so I assume it will work fine.Quote:

Proved it had great contact and the heatpipe is manufactured well at least in my case.
Not going to have much for airflow in my next build here so under water she goes. :D
0601 is now up in the OP and availible for download
@Ghostlead: Thanks for that. :)
