I first want to apologize for waking this thread up. I know it is old but I am still using this board and do not yet see any reason not to, lol.

If anyone here in this thread can remember, did...

To the OP, thanks for the pics man. That's is really telling info.

My D5 has ran nearly 24/7 at full speed since about May of 2008. In the last few months I have noticed a squeal, or squeaky...

Same here. I was thinking of getting the 980 and then maybe down the road another 980 for sli.

You have a link to the person having issues on their x58 mobo? We need to monitor this situation very closely.

What makes you think the Extreme is still getting support? My extreme has not had an official bios release since November 2011 and no driver updates since before then.

WOW, I am almost at your Gflop performance at only 4ghz (using Very High setting in IBT). Man, I wish I had some balls to go over intels max voltage specs, I bet this would be a great overclocking...

I noticed something weird, so maybe I do not understand IBT and its LinX pack results. I am getting 65 Gflops at 200x20, but 82 Gflops at 182x22, 83 Gflops @185x22 and only 81 to 83 above 190 bclk x...

Nevermind, with enough time and testing I got the QPI down to 1.18 and Uncore up to 3208 Mhz. CPU is at 4ghz at 1.1v and temps dropping into the upper 20's to lower 30's, with it hovering about...

I have asked this question in several areas of the net but no one seems to really be biting. Some people have told me that the max is 1.5x, but others say they always use 2x. I currently have my...

I would think you would want to put the new memory sticks into the Red slots, and the old sticks into the black slots. All the memory will run at the slowest speed that the slowest stick supports, so...

Well thanks to you zoson for pointing me to the Xeon's as I would have never expected them to come down so low in price on ebay or anywhere for that matter. Just purchased the X5650 from esisoinc...

Yeah, I am thinking the only worthwhile upgrades to my system (without hitting the wallet to hard) would be a X5670 + PCIe SSD. If the Plextor M6e PCIe kit allows booting the OS like the reviews seem...

Although I never did get a picture of it finished, I recently rebuilt my R3E build using old parts and new parts. This was done in summer 2013 changing colors from silver/chrome/red/blue, to...

IIRC, my LGA 1366 is 80mm from hole to hole, and the 1155 and 1156 (including 1150) is 75mm from hole to hole I think. If I try and use my current plate the fasteners will be going in through the...

Hello,

I am selling my Rampage III Extreme (maybe) and upgrading to Haswell (maybe) but I do not want to replace my cooling setup or make any changes to my custom build (other than mobo and cpu)....

Do you have a recommendation as to what the cpu should be downclocked to? Currently working with a i7-930 that loves to hit tj just 5 seconds after turning off the pump. If the cpu will still hit...

Did you ever figure this out? I just noticed that my VGA led stayed lit as well and no post, however it had nothing to do with my VGA, apparently I did not have the first ram stick pushed in all the...

Yeah, I have damaged a cpu back in the 90's modding, and then here a few years ago I somehow killed a 4870x2 while installing the EK water block (however Asus replaced it with a 5870 so I was not too...

Well it looks like I might have damaged my mobo while removing the yellow TIM. Yeah I know I should have done it much sooner, however I just never had the time until now. I decided to use a razor on...

Well I'm not sure I have ever seen that myself, however it does look sorta familiar, lol...

What you could do is simply save your current settings profile and then clear CMOS back to default and...

Yes, it is the green eSata port on the back. You could also do what I do and connect the lone black Sata port on the bottom right hand side of the board directly to a eSata/USB expansion slot bracket...

The Hub should come with the necessary cable to attach to the computer. Its just a normal shielded eSata cable (eSata to eSata). It connects to the eSata port on the mobo back-plate, and then to the...

Never mind, I think I answered my own question. Because the GPU contact area is also part of the equation I just have to deal with my system being torn apart much longer than anticipated and purchase...

Ok, quick question for anyone that may have installed a EK FC5870 multiple times. I just cleaned up my block, got it all nice and shiny again and put back together, however during the re-install I...

Hmm, yeah they probably don't have the time or means to do such tests and unless the consumer is dumb enough to mention it in the RMA request that they had it overclocked Intel probably just looks...
