Hi everyone ! Excuse me, please, if this question has already been asked but does anybody know how to turn off the onboard buttons (Start, reset...) backlight when the system is in soft-off mode ? :confused:

Too bad :shakes: Soo... :idea: maybe we should try asking ASUS to add this option to the next BIOS update for the mobo ?

That's kind of counter intuitive to the purpose of those buttons. They are supposed to light up so that you can see them in low light and be able to power up the board...

I personally do not think this is an issue, but that's just my $0.02.

I have a semi weird issue that I noticed. I have a a usb 2.0 card reader as well as the case usb ports and while using it with my corsair 8g thumb drive I get at most 9mb to 12mb transfer speed. On my dad's simple gateway laptop the transfer speeds are up to 30mb to 40mb highest I've seen. So what is up with this?

Am I making up these memories? Anyway, how do I get 2000-2133? Im baffled.

I am testing now your same memories and I confirm that it is very hard to keep 2000 MHz stable.

On Win 7 x64 I have to raise till 1,45 V the Vtt to finish boot and 1,5 V is not enough to have a rock stable system,

I wonder if you found some trick meanwhile to reach 2000 MHz and not using so high Vtt that Intel says is a little dangerous for 24/7 use.

Hello everyone:)

I'm going to upgrade mi rig in a couple of weeks and it will sure consists of Rampage 2 extreme...I'm glad that i found out such a nice forum topic about this board and i hope that you will be able to help me if i will have any issues or i will be able to help you with your issues:))

I'm currently on E8600 @ 4.35Ghz GB EX38DS4 and single 280GTX

... and my upgrade will be:

Core i7 975 Extreme Edition
Rampage 2 Extreme
Mushkin REDLINE 6 x 2GB 1600Mhz
two Asus 285 GTX TOP in SLI
Enermax Revolution+ 1250W
Creative x-fi Titanium fatality Pro
one 300gb velociraptor for OS + games and one 1TB WD for storage

This is my third rig and i hope that each component will run flawlessly on it... so far my both previous rigs had gigabyte board.... this is my first Asus:)

Anyways.... i have one issue. Ive read several forum topics that the first black audio slot will not fit Titanium card unless i bend down that passive or even rip it off....do you guys have Titanium card in that slot and how did you solve it? I don't want to rip it off cos warranty may void:(

Also ... will the newest bios recognize 975EE?

PS: sry for my bad English :))

i have an fxi extreme audio (pci-e variant) in that same slot and the card is pretty much the same size as yours..
i can corfirm that it would not work... howevver i have put a watercoolingblok on there and it's a litle smaler so now it barely fits :)

cx-ray

If you don't want to mess with the heatsink you can stick the X-Fi Titanium in the last slot instead.

Now, the PCI-E x1 sound card can go to any PCI-E slots (including PCI-E x16 and x4), correct?

What Memory Frequency do you have memory running at? Is it set to Auto or do you manually adjust it to something else?

well, could you share your settings? D0 or C0/C1 stepping?
i'm having a hard time going to 4GHz even though i'm giving it 1.4v vcore, it just keep failing intel burn test and prime95.
my other setting
QPI auto (1.35v via PC Probe)
PLL auto (1.81v via PC Probe)
VDIMM 1.65v
HT on, turbo on
right now i'm using 1.2625v vcore BIOS for 3.8GHz and it's stable.

What is the main difference between this R2E and P6T Deluxe V2? is it worth the upgrade?
