Live MB OC Report :: ASUS Rampage Extreme

so far so good with the G.Skill 2x1GB 2GBHZs (D9GTR)...but CL6 clocks aren't what i am concerned with, it's getting over the 1030MHz bump that i interested in.

With all this talk of D9GTR doing well I figured it was time to give it a proper shot and so far so good at CL6, but that isn't the issue with D9GTS. I still get the weird boot issue once in a while with the D9GTR kit and after putting them in, I couldn't get POST without removing a single stick, loading BIOS defaults, then POSTing. Then the second stick could go in and I could get POST. I didn't have to change anything in the BIOS, just POST with a single stick first and save & exit. Also, don't mind the LN2/Dry Ice container, the fan on the stock heat sink went so I am improvising

3oh6, what was the limit of your G.Skill D9GTR kit in terms of pure frequency on any other intel platform? and I assume its limit on the RE is just under 1030Mhz?

on the Maximus Extreme they did 1034MHz 8-7-6 dual32m SPi but at only 2.00v DMM measured. i never took them over 2.06v back then as it was when we didn't know how much voltage D9GTR could take. if i remember correctly though, more vDIMM didn't really help get further i don't think because i have screenshots at CL6 & CL7 up to 2.06v. at CL6, up to 2.06v, they are clocking identical on the RE as they did on the Maximus Extreme. this is the first Intel board to see them since then.

as for on the RE, no idea as i just started working with them tonight and so far only at CL6. on the 790i they run single 32M at 1110MHz 8-7-6 2.175v DMM measured.

Ah I see. Looking forward to your results!

yeah the G.Skills aren't even booting into Windows at 1000MHz 8-7-6 on the 266 Strap at even 2.10v vDIMM. drop vDIMM down to 1.96v and the Ballistix go right into Windows and run dual32M with nothing else changed in the BIOS.

so my board likes my D9GTR even less than my D9GTS for high clocks
