BIOS:
1305 Improve system stability, improve memory compatibility, enhance compatibility with some USB devices, support new CPUs
0018 Updates some pcie codes, open range off vga core to -222
1202 Improve system stability, improve memory compatibility, enhance compatibility with some USB devices, fix PCIEx16 VGA card HD 7970 cannot be detected when the temperature of VGA less than -40.
0016 Based on 0015 but adds 5v and 5.5v options to mos volt control
0013 Improves DRAM OC
1201 Minor fix of dual gpu VGA detection bug in bios's GPU/DIMM post screeen.
1103 Improves High Frequency DRAM Compatibility, Improves Peripheral Compatibility
0006B
1101 Improves system stability, official BIOS
0005B Improves CPU Level up for new cpus, improves stability for 7970 when 7970 under LN2
0003B
0002B Adds internal pll over-voltage option, improves stability for 7970 when 7970 under LN2
0001B
1005 updated PCIe codes for improved compatibility with some GPUs
1004 update microcode and PCIE Gen 3.0 codes
0901 Improve high frequency DRAM compatibility, add more options to Latency Boundary item, enable UEFI driver support for add on cards
0083B More DRAM Tuning, added option under 'Latency Boundary' 'Furthest' - Furthest will help RAM OC higher (especially Elpida Hypers/ BBSE) at the cost of latency, added Load Tight 4x4GB Hynix Profile.
0803 memory timing changes to the gaming OC profile
079B overclocking - more aggressive than 0803

OC Key Firmware:

Thanks, added

Subscribing!

Also, hate to ask a noobish question here so early in this thread, but is there a way to load default values into the Extreme Tweaker pages of the UEFI without affecting all the other settings. Loading Safe or Optimised defaults resets the entire UEFI. The clear CMOS button on the IO does what I'm looking for, but I was looking for a way while inside the UEFI. I must be missing something simple.

[hokiealumnus]

Sure! Load optimized defaults, then set everything else you want to mean 'default'. Then save that as one of your OC profiles. When you need to reload it after clearing CMOS or if you just want to go back to where you were while in the UEFI, go and load that OC profile.

[Eldonko]

I dont think so. I just set up a defaults oc profile that has my HD config, fan monitoring disabled, etc and load that.

EDIT - hokie ninjaed my response!

[mdzcpa]

Good idea. I would just need to reconfig that "default" profile on BIOS flashes. Although that's been just about every day lately
Thanks guys!

感冒中一直沒裝，現在RAM到了順便裝跟PO點圖，詳細測試跟超頻測試後補...

we see nothing on the screens

[Eldonko]

Added manual and new OC Firmware to OP

[Boulard83]

Great thread.

Im waiting my gear .... WC parts just knocked at the door. CPU and Memory arrive today too. Im just missing the RIVE .... !

[donmarkoni]

Ordered my R4E today. Will be joining you guys, but not for two weeks at least.

I'll look for the CPU in the meantime.

[Hazzan]

Can I joined Zac..

Here we goo...my testing with on air cooling Master Piece ASUS RAMPAGE IV XTREME



HARDWARE SETUP :
CORE i7 3930K
ASUS RAMPAGE IV XTREME
ASUS GTX 580 MATRIX
GSKILL 2400C11 4Gx4
GSKILL SSD 120G
ANTEC HCP 1200



BCLK 100 x 49 DDR3 2400



BCLK 125 x 38 DDR3 2400



Well...I never seen motherboard with alot of feature and usefull like this...Great Feature and Performance we just focusing how to raise CPU and memory ...

[S1nn3r]

If I was crazy enough to go on a rampage (get it ? heh) with this board just what case options do I have.. it looks like Cooler Master HAF X is pretty much the only choice ? especially as id be looking to team it with the also not very small at all Asus GTX 570 DirectCU II..

[Boulard83]

Waiting the RIVE !

[Eldonko]

Nice, you are all set. Update BIOS and OC Key firmware right away, there have been many updates since release.

[RCG_Bex]

Got mine but realised I'll need to change the backplate. Will get it under water this weekend

[Eldonko]

Flashed 0083B a few days ago. Works great, havent had an issues thus far.

[Eldonko]

BIOS 0901 added to OP

[orson]

some benchs from mine

[donmarkoni]

BIOS 0091 added to OP

You mean 0901, right?

[Eldonko]

Yes, that's what I said hehe

[Anvil]

I got my MB some time ago but had to wait for the X.

The MB is just great but I had a scare with 0901, not really sure wat happened but as soon as 0901 was installed the CPU heated up and started throttling, downgrading to 0083B did not seem to help but luckily switching bios worked.
So, I'm staying on 0083B for now.

I've played a bit and it looks like it'll do 4800-5000 easily at low vcore and temp. (batch#3133B429)
I'm just looking for an overall good performer for 24/7 work related usage and i'm already happy with the performance.

[OC Nub]

For anyone looking in the US, Newegg has the R4E back in stock, the 469.00 bf3 version. Also 3930k's back in stock.

I was about to push the button on a 3960x but kept looking to see if the 3930k would hurry the hell up and come back in stock to prevent me from spending the extra $$$ for a chip I really dont need, and it finally showed up. So I ordered another 3930k and a 16gb kit of Mushkin Redline 2133 c9. I have tried for many many hours to boot at 2400mhz but the IMC is just not going to allow it I guess.

Can someone help? I might be being retarded because i'm tired but how do i setup RAID 0 on this board? Ive got two SSD's connected to the 6g SATA ports, ive set SATA configuration to RAID ain the BIOS, and then set the two SSD's to RAID 0 in the intel RAID menu (CTRL + I on boot) but now when i go to install win 7 it cant find any of my other hard drives or my DVD drive. The win 7 install only detects the RAID array so i get a message about it not being able to find the win 7 disc. What am i doing wrong??
