Live MB OC Report :: ASUS Rampage Extreme

[eternal_fantasy]

Thanks for the memory tips guys ....... time to list unwanted bits on ebay OCZ memory, Striker II Extreme, WD Raptor X and EVGA 9800X2 SSC to fund new memory

Really looking to try Micron D9___ IC's rather than the Samsung this time. My ideal scenario is to run at 500FSB with multiplier of 8 and 1:2 memory running at 1000 (2000DDR) then I will stop tweaking and start playing !!.

Let's remember also that this board is still on an early bios.

EF - cheers for the B/P link will pick one up as a spare next time I buy from Scan. Cooling mods are looking great

Sure thing.

I have purchased a pair of 2x2GB A-Data DDR3-1600 X ram from MemoryC last week, and you can read about its IC in the xtreme bandwidth section. I think this pair use the same IC as the Corsair DDR3-1800 2x2GB Dominator rams as I was able to acheve the exact same speed and timing at that kit... 1600@7-7-7-20, and 1800@8-8-8-24.

I can also confirm that at least for me the CellShock blue DDR3-1866 D9JNL kit does NOT work with the Rampage Extreme, at least with current BIOS.

Hi.....I read this and with all i hear i worry for that issue with NB temp...I am getting
mine next monday (11/8) and i am afraid that water will be the only way
to cool this mobo ... With air will not be so Extreme....I hope i am wrong....

Anyone tested this on air cooling? Does the NB really get hot (60c @ full load)?

As I went stright to water cooling via the Fusion Block, I cannot comment on it's air cooling performance. However, even though I had reseated the whole cooling system and replaced the thermal compound with MX-2, @ 1.5VMCH it was lurking at around 56C loaded, using the Fusion. For reference after taking out the heatpipes and used my own NB waterblock, at load, 1.7VMCH, the NB never exceeded 41C.
The cpu3d.com review was a little extreme though.. up to 80degrees?

Well guys, u may have to wait a bit longer for my results. Looks like my board is DOA lights powerup for a few seconds then it reboots and does the same thing in a continuous loop. Cant be any of the hardware im plugging into it as its all working in my SIIE. Typical!!!

Bad luck man.. do you have another set of memory to try when the new one arrives? cus some RAM are just not compatible atm...

Anyway here is a quickie of how I'm doing with my quad. Note that my memory is holding me back.. this board and the CPU can do 480Mhz no problem



If anyone intrested in settings just ask
