Live MB OC Report :: ASUS Rampage Extreme

[Mezzro]

I have varied the VCORE anywhere from 1.1 to 1.2375 to no avail. I have also disabled LLC. Once again there was no difference. Per suggestions, northbridge voltage was changed to 1.35 which yielded no difference.

The AS5 was applied to the XIGMATEK in the manner that is described here:

A single line of AS5 was also applied to the middle of the CPU as suggested by AS.

This method of applying AS5 to the Xigie and the CPU was tried by a few members of the HardForum. These folks experienced quite a bit of drop in temperatures.

Currently all BIOS settings with the exception of VCORE, C1E Support, DRAM Frequency and DRAM Voltage are set to Auto or default values.

Typically safe, functional vcore range for these processors is (approximately) 1.28 - 1.60v, depending on how aggressive the overclock. Some will perform short runs/benchmarks with voltage as high as 1.70. I can't see the system booting, much less completing a benchmark, at a vcore of 1.10. Is this a typo?

As you know, quads simply run hotter than dual cores. The seem to run especially hot on this board. The consensus seems to be that this is attributable in large part to the 16-phase power supply design, a design far better suited to dual core CPU's. Temps in the 60's when running Prime95 aren't unusual, nor are temps in the high 30's - mid-40C at idle.
