Asus Rampage Formula Memory Compatibility & OC Info

[slugzkea]

The native rampage's northbridge is 65nm die, the maximus is 90mm.

that's one difference.

The "Row Refresh Cycle Time" on maximus has options in incriments of 1 "41, 42 43 etc). The rampage has incriments of 5 (40, 45, 50).

That's another difference

The rampage bios has "3rd information" timings not sure for what, i was told by a friend it's for quad core.

The maximus's bios's do NOT have 3rd information timings.

There's another difference.


The rampage extreme is DDR3, thus rampage series is NOT just DDR2.

I don't want this to go off topic here. I see members of XS are very good at that. If you go to tech powerup forums and check out maximus/rampage bios threads you'll see that a flashed maximus's settings don't work well with a native rampage's bios.

That's from my experience anyways, and anyone else i've read that has a native rampage that tried a flashed maximus's settings with the SAME cpu aiming for the SAME frequency, it should work. Maybe not 100% stable, but close anyways.

I am very aware that all cpu's clock differently and yadeya ya ya bla bla but the fact that the northbridge on the native rampage boards is a smaller die (for many reasons) PROOVES that the boards are NOT the same.

Now, back to the topic.

can we PLEASE, for the love of floating jesus, stick to the damn topic! MEMORY PEOPLE. memory, and NATIVE rampage. if you have a flashed maximus and it's not noted in your sig, plz state so.

THANK YOU.
