Live MB OC Report :: ASUS Rampage Extreme

[MikeMK]

Can you update your sig so we know your latest setup? Also if you can post your "extreme tweaker" settings.

Sig now updated.

Ive done some more investigation into the problem. I havnt had the issue with the voltages again, however whenever I shut down the PC, the nextime I switch it on it wont post. All the lights come on and nothing happens - if i clear cmos, and then reload my overclocked settings it works fine until the next time i switch the PC off - v. frustrating. Remember the settings below are 9hrs prime stable!

Settings are as follows:

ai overclock tuner: Manual
OC CPU lvl up: auto
OC Mem lvl up: auto
FSB 400
CPU Ratio: 10
CPU Clock SKEW: auto
NB Clock SKEW: auto
PCI-E Freq: 100mhz
Dram Freq: 1601mhz
Command Rate: 2N
Timing: Manual
Primaries set 7-7-7-18, not tweaked sub timings yet, so they are all auto
ai clock twister: Auto
ai transaction booster: auto
CPU II Phase Cntrl: Auto

Vcore: 1.325v
LLC: Enabled
CPU PLL: 1.55v
VTT: 1.312v
GTL 0: +40mv
All other GTL's: Auto
NB v: 1.40497v
Vdimm: 1.908v
ND DDR vref + Channel refs are all auto
SB 1.5: 1.51106
SB 1.05: 1.06039
All spread spectrums: Disabled.

Any ideas? I cant verify exact voltages with the exception of the vcore as everest isnt picking up either voltages or temps for anything other than the CPU, and PC Probe II reads massively incorrectly (temps at 255 degrees apparently, and voltages at 67v!!! LOL!)

Which also leads me to the question, can anyone post read points for this board so I can set my DMM onto it?

this i have encountered. with my Micron D9GTS or D9GTR, it is stable as a rock as certain settings, but sometimes i won't get POST. sometimes i get the startup/shutdown cycle, sometimes i just get weird POSTs and have gotten a couple corrupt BIOSs for no reason.

with the G.Skill Pi 2x2GB kit, never happens.

i am leaning on memory issues. i have been able to bypass having to clear CMOS and load settings with just taking one stick out, POSTing, turning off, installing 2nd stick again. sounds stoopid but is usually works

I'm having the same problem with my 4GB (CSX-Memory: 4096MB (2x 2GB), Diablo Kit, D9GTS) kit the boot cycle and weird post,

And my (4GB (2x2GB) CorsairTwinX XMS3 Dominator, DDR3 PC3-14400) i just cant get stable at 1800MHz

deffo need a bios for the 4GB kits compatibility..

ai clock twister: Auto - I'm sure setting at normal will give better results
ai transaction booster: auto - try 6
CPU II Phase Cntrl: Auto

Vcore: 1.325v - nice CPU! I need around 1.42 for 4Ghz..
LLC: Enabled
CPU PLL: 1.55v - leave this at 1.50, you don't need to raise it at your clocks.
VTT: 1.312v
GTL 0: +40mv - does that actually improve stability?
All other GTL's: Auto
NB v: 1.40497v - I would raise that to 1.45-1.50V, NOTE BELOW
Vdimm: 1.908v
ND DDR vref + Channel refs are all auto
SB 1.5: 1.51106
SB 1.05: 1.06039
All spread spectrums: Disabled.

I think I may know what the problem is. I had similer problems when I watercooled via the Fusion block, and when raising the VMCH to over 1.6V, the system wouldn't boot. Whereas when I used my own waterblock, it boots fine at 1.75V+. I think when you try and restart your NB is too hot, and it don't like to be hot when booting, but it's fine once you enter windows. If you can try and aim a powerful fan on the NB area when the system is off, and see if you can get it to turn on.

That sometime means something is overheating or unstable, or similer to when the motherboard doesn't like the clock settings and you lose CPU cores...

My CellShock D9GTR sticks are the most compatible sticks I've used, and no such problem as you've described, responsive to voltage, POST fine on restart. Corrupt BIOSes? which sticks are you using? I didn't even know memory can corrupt BIOS! No startup/shutdown cycle, that only happened on the 0404 BIOS, of which NONE of my 4 pairs of DDR3 memory work at it's rated speeds.
