Thank you guys. What did you think of that ram?
I have the W3520 Xeon paired with my R2E. Tonight I decided to try the 1406 Rampage II Extreme bios, and to my surprise the uncore, QPI Link and ram dividers are no longer locked in my bios! I just updated the bios, but will do more testing later.
Here is a SS from the 1306 bios:

Awesome!
Keep us updated as to whether everything works or not.
Does anyone knows if 21x200 or 20x210 is better? I'm trying to figure out if high BCLK makes things faster (just like good old high FSB) or multiplier in the case of i7?
No, BCLK has no discernable effect on performance.
that, and i7 does not like even multis.
Got an issue i hope you'll be able to help me guys:) I unplugged all devices including power from the computer cos i was installing system on my 2nd computer. ( was using all the devices like mouse. power connector etc. with 2nd comp) When i finished all work i plugged everytning back and the computer acted like WTF is going on? It would not turn on screen ( i tried to unplug and plug the connector into VGA card with no luck) so i had to shut down the computer completly and after that .... the screen turned on but i saw a message OVERCLOCKING FAILED please enter bios..... i entered bios and just pushed Save & reboot. Then the comp turned off by itself and then immediately turned on as normal and i was on windows loading screen and now the computer works fine. WTF is that? The board doesn't have any memory if there is no power or what?
I have this RAM, I have been using it on 1403/1406 with no issues.
I have only managed 1734mhz 8/7/7/22 1.65v with them when at around 4.5Ghz but ive not played with subtimings at all yet; im still trying to get crossfirex working the way i want so its been taking up all my spare time.
Yea sure, ill be home later on tonight i do this for you then, however i think our RAM is not the same. Similar, prolly just binned differently.
These are what i am running: http://www.ocztechnology.com/product...triple_channel
I think these are yours:

To get you moving now this is from memory, i was at 217x21 1.375v QPI/DRAM 1.4v. This is 20 Pass LinX ok, but 3DMark06 and COD5 are shakey, i think this is down to PCIe/IOH/SB tweaks i still need to do. All else is AUTO.

Hello guys
I got my computer stable with 4ghz(160x25) not that long ago I did 20 passes in LinX and primed for like 10 hours.
I did this like 2-3 weeks ago and it has been stable in games and everything for a long time.
But now recently after installing win 7 and stuff I started to get bsod, I dident get it in the beginning at all but like,
it came here and there after a while and now I get it everytime I try a game within seconds.
LinX fails insantly and I get bsod that says. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_ EQUAL or I get PAGE FAULT IN UNPAGED AREA.
Why? I tried bump my volts changed alot of settings in bios but nothing seems stable anymore LinX fails after like,
1 min and everything is just really unstable. all temps are fine they stay around 65c fully loaded.(computer in sign btw)
I current use:
Cpu Ratio: x25
BCLK: 160 mhz
vcore: 1.25v(1.24v real)
PLL: Auto
QPI: 1.387v(1.356v real)
rest of the volts is auto
ram runs in stock speed: 800mhz 8-8-8-24
Anyone has any idea or is my ram damaged that was my first thought I get because of the page fault bosd.
I use bios 1306 also btw but my power has been going out alot lately so I dont dare updating it...
EDIT: I am trying stock speed on cpu now and ram at same default 800 8-8-8-24 and now LinX passes without a problem.
So wth is wrong then this is really strange is it a windows 7 problem or what? I am really confused now,
I tried to bump all voltages I even tried like 1.35v on cpu but still it is unstable, Is my motherboard giving in?
I have a 920 D0 downstrairs I am gonna try that tomorrow and see what happends.

Often it's a device driver conflict, memory, or a general OC related problem. For no apparent reason I experienced it was a few weeks ago with Vista 64. I fixed it by error checking my OS HDD (in the properties or use chkdsk /f /r)...so go figure.
Anyone else notice the Turbo function in the bios switching from the extreme tweak menu to the cpu menu upon reboots?
almost BCLK 240 .....

Go go Hazzan :) PCI-E used there Sir ? I'm currently testing the Gene II and I'm stuck at 226 ( fully stable though ), Gene II posts till 232 in windows but freezes once I stress the rig. Will test the RE 2 this week...
hmmm i cannot prime stable for any thing above 21x215=4515 on i7 920
still benchable at 21x220to221 ~ 46xx Mhz
but it's okay for me
Not many can prime stable mate at them speeds... most top at 4.2-4.3 there, though benchstable at 4.6 is already pretty okay on air or water... be happy :)
Hi, does the new bios 1406, solve the cold boot issue?
I didn't have this problem until i got the corsair dominator GTs !!
any ideas??
also I cannot boot with anything above 222 bclk, I see many have the same problem but I wonder how the classified and the gene crack that magical number !!!
I'm seeing several of these boards for sale on different forums and they all have come at once....is there a new revision of this board or something i'm out of the loop on??
