My post from yesterday is gone...

Here we go again:

Here is a BIOS template for the OP, old school, txt file, as I don't like BIOS s/s.



BTW, those are my 24/7 settings if anyone interested.

...and in picture.

What are you using to cool ur system to hit these specs

[Mydog]

Got me a 3960X and R4E and a kit of G.Skill Ripjaws 2133mhz CL9 today.
Did a quick run on the table to check that everything is working, nothing big but the memory seems to OC ok.

Water cooling: Tt 500lph pump - EK Supreme on CPU - EK Supreme on GPU - 3x120mm fans at 2000rpm on HW Labs GT3 Xflow.

Throwing out my UD3, just a quick question. Should I go for the RIVE or the RIVF? The cooling will be my H100 and water later, so I figured I don't need the extra features on the RIVE. But then again I loved my R3E sooo much. Price difference in Norway is $100...

If you're using the h100, then go for the Extreme version as the the h100 won't work with the Formula.

Otherwise both boards are great and it's a toss up which you you should get. The Formula does have only 4 dimm slots compared to 8 for the Extreme.

I just received my asus R IV E + G.Skill ripjaws 2133, and my I7 3930K C2 on the way, cant wait to play with this baby

I notice there is a 4-pin ATX 12V Power connector near the 8-pin ATX 12V Power connector, should i use it or leave it ?

That thread is for the S775 Formula though...

If you're going to run 5Ghz and plus, use it. Otherwise it's not needed. I have mine plugged in for 4.7Ghz in hopes in gives more stable power to the cpu and since I have the cable anyways.

Oh sorry about that!


Well I hope whatever board you choose that your h100 works with it.

sorry for double posting.

[DuraN]

Seems to indicate the problem is with the brackets on the H100 and not the motherboard itself. My H100 has already been mounted fine on my UD3 so I reckon I'll be safe. But thanks for the info! Now, off to try to find some good deals on a RIVE or RIVF

Only if I'm lukey I can reach 5Ghz with noctua Nh-D14, otherwise 4.5~4.7 will be sweet for 24/7.

[MisterMagoo]

I can not for the life of me get my X to 5GHz stable. I have tried so many things in this BIOS that the last two weeks is just a blur in my memory. Pretty bummed out...seems like everyone is getting 5Ghz. Full board under water too...I will keep at it, but it looks like I may have the weakest 3960 out there /cries.

I had three 3960x chips pass through my hands and only one does 5Ghz with decent voltage (about 1.44-1.46v). Another needed 1.52v and the other 1.55v...and neither were completely stable long term at those voltages. I would get a few random crashes here or there I think were heat related. Not all do 5Ghz easy peezy.

Well I guess that makes me feel not as incapable as before hah. But still a little disappointed. 1.46 on the core is a little too hot for 24/7 yeah?

[WCRF]

So, a noob question, which UEFI is the best/ more stable so far?

I'm using 1101.

I am on 1201, best for me so far.

1005 or 1201.

[Eldonko]

Using 1201 here, no issues thus far.

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

I have been running 1201 but no testing under cold as of yet.

seems fine for ambient temps, and pretty similar to 1005.
