I've had the R3E since release and it was still working fine with a Core i7 920@4.2GHz 24/7 and just yesterday I decided to get a cheap Xeon W3680 for $160 and it seems much better than my 920 in...

Guys,

I am on 1301 BIOS, and I have Core i7 920@4.25Ghz, should I update to 1502 ?

It seems that Crysis 2 benchmark was flawed , retested and updated charts


Please tell me if there is any other "fishy" result :)

That's why I included 5760x1080 benchmark , CPU bottleneck is minimal at such high resolution :)

Hello guys

This is my review that 2 months to complete, hope that you like it :

Doesn't recognize HD6990 :(

http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/6361/gptv.jpg

HD6990 in slot 1 is running@16X/16X (Maybe due to internal chip), HD6970 in slot 2 is running@8X and HD6970 in slot 3 is running@16X

No

CF works with each card running at its specs , so HD6970+HD6950 is slightly better than HD6950+HD6950 :)

I have a new problem now, I am running HD6990 (Dual-GPU) + HD6950@HD6970 +...

I flashed to 1208 BIOS and get BSODs after 30 minutes or so of playing games, then get the CPU over temperature error, press F1 to continue !

When I get into BIOS I see 63-68 C CPU temp, what is...

CF is better than SLI in that regard

You can use cards from the same series not necessarily the same exact card , ie HD6900 series , you can use HD6970 + HD6950 in CF

Back to my original...

I have HD6970 + HD6970 + HD6950 in slots 1,2,3 and the third card (HD6950) doesn't show !

Am I doing it wrong ? :confused:

Manual says 1,3,4 for Tri-Fire but I can't use 4th slot because of my...

Very well said :up:

And let me add that even when GTX580 is indeed the fastest single GPU card now, it is not a good deal against something like HD6850 CF (I know , I know , two cards but who...

It is called "Eyefinity"

So, who is the "noob" now ? :rofl:

How about (30%+ Core and ~20% Memory) Overclock with no voltage increase with that card ?

What if he was not an Asus review partner, and he was just lucky enough to get the card ? ;)

I have a Core i7 920 batch#384 and it works great :

What do you think about Foxconn BloodRage compared to RIIIE guys ?

I am thinking about selling my RIIIE and getting a BloodRage :D

I meant that Gigabyte Extreme had 15-20 lower temps for NB/SB than R3E

Gigabyte : 40-45 (Max ~50 C) with QPI ~1.575v

Asus R3E : 55-65 (Max ~70 C) with QPI ~ 1.488v

Even my old Asus P6T...

Does stock Asus R3E suck for NB/SB cooling ?

I ask this because with the old Gigabyte EX58-Extreme I was getting very good NB/SB temps (lower than R3E in 15-20 C range !!!) , so should we all buy...

It seems like the older 0704 Beta BIOS (the same .zip filename) so I'll wait for the official BIOS from the official site before flashing from the few-hours-flashed-0704 Beta-BIOS :D

As for...

Where ? it is not on their sites

The link works but the link is no where on Asus Global / USA or Taiwan sites :confused:

Will lower CPU PLL voltage work with the i7 920 too ? :confused:

That's right , I've seen it too and it felt rather strange

I've fixed that DDR3 2000 no POST with 1N/2N thing BY CHANGING DRAM Read to pretime to 3 (default was 9) and now the R3E runs like a charm with the Blade DDR3 2000 CL9 , it is even better than the...

With Gigabyte EX-58-Extreme it was all good but after getting the R3E it took about 30 second on "Welcome" screen !
