The Super Talent Project X looks competitive on paper but really need feedback from experiences on this board as don't want to have to buy a third set !!!.

Not sure if you were still deciding, but I got 2 retail kits of ProjectX (the 7-6-6-x 1600Mhz and the 7-7-7-x 1800Mhz). Both are D9GTR and both have overclocked really well. I recommend them to anyone! the 1600mhz kit can hit @ 2.05v - 917MHz 7-6-6-18 1T (P1 & P2 enabled on the 790i), but CAS8 clocks really dont impress. The 1800Mhz kit can do @ 2.05v - 963Mhz 7-7-6-18 1T, or @2.075v - 1040Mhz 8-8-7-21 1T.

Stability for me is 32M, not prime95 or anything...

@aerie; I also had this happen, but it just went into an endless reboot cycle. I have it open on my desk for benching and was placing some fans when it just went bananas. Only way I could get it back was to pull the battery, have dinner + a couple slurps. Now I'm back in. Don't know what the heck happened.

now I am a little scared successive post with problems with the Rampage Extreme I already have the motherboard just waiting for the other parts to arrive

Guys.. the thread OP had not had more time with this board, so we had moved to another thread to discuss the Rampage Extreme. Most of the information can be found between this thread and the following through the link:

Hay ladies and gentleman of this thread, please make your way to 3oh6's "Live MB OC Report :: ASUS Rampage Extreme", so we can keep all our info together for the Rampage Extreme motherboard.

Will be a huge asset for us with such knowledgeable guy as 3oh6, and the Intel page seems very much more alive then the review page

Anyway HEAD OVER THERE NOW!!!!

All follow up posts will be on that thread---

@aerie; Glad to hear that you got it sorted. "Bananas" is slang for "it went crazy" or "nuts"

Seems bad contact between NB and heatpipe mate, no bios will solve that, only one thing to do : pop it off and verify the TIM and replace with new one... I always use Arctic ceramique on the chipsets...

Pull the powercord?

I've had little time to test this board further recently

does anyone else's rampage extreme ROG light and start button flash on and off when your shutdown ?

Mine doesn...just wondered if it's normal. My striker II extreme ROG light stayed on all the time.

Maybe its related, but I had the light behind the confirm button go out and stay out when the others were on. I guessed it was a faulty switch (although the switch still worked fine) I then did a clear CMOS (button on the backplate) and it came back on and has stayed working. Maybe it was coincidence, but its odd it came back after a clear CMOS.

You can stop the ROG logo flashing when its off using the BIOS (404) setting Advanced/LCD Poster+LED Control/ROG Logo

i have my system mounted on a benching table and i found that if i touch with my finger those 2 contact the sistem RESET. not always but if i touch those sometimes it Reset, i have tryed 4-5 times and after 2-3 touch sistem reset!!

I am very interested in a DDR3 based x48 ASUS. I am looking at either this or the P5E64-WS Workstation version. What can you guys say inpraise of this compared to the P5E3 or WS versions? I plan to OC a Q9550 and OC'd DDR1800, and later mess w/ DDR2000. Can I get a quick recap on teh pros and cons of this mobo?

Thanx in advance!
