Live MB OC Report :: ASUS Rampage Extreme

[RLM]

Still testing, but a few results for my QX9650. Would be nice to see some more quadcore settings/results in this thread

First off 410x10. Seems a pretty good, stable and cool OC. With CPU/NB/GPU in one loop with the PA 120.3 temps in blend stayed between 48-54c over the 2 hour period. Ambients of about 26-28c



Note Vcore at 1.53v = about 1.48-9v in CPU-Z idle. 1.41v @ load.


Moving on to 460x9. Need to do some stability tests. A few thoughts though. cheapseats comments about using low vdimm in memtests is spot on. Certainly the way I've worked for a while. A quicker way to see what's working or not.

Next and I think I've mentioned this, but findings so far it may well be advisable to look at DDR3 Chanel A and B Vrefs, before struggling with clock and dram skews.

At 460x9 with Mem at 1843mhz 8-7-6 memtest would freeze at the opening screen. just the title top left. Sticking +25mv into DDR3 Chanel A and B Vref, and memtest is happy as Larry.



Note these aren't really tested yet. Will Blend and OCCT


Oh and one last one. Will have to work at this a bit, but shows promise. Unfortunately 3dmark 05 blanked and crashed mid Canyon test.

A little chillier in Chicago so I tried booting up at 500x9 (4.500 GHz) and she is stable.

But my ram cannot run at 2000 do I changed the divider and ran it at 1668 with 6-6-6-15 1N Timings.

I gained a whole 6 3DMark06 points to 23,911.

I moved the ram to the A2 and B2 slots and skewed them differently.

Got them to DDR3-2000 with 10-9-9-27 2N timings.

Barely Beats out the Ram running at DDR3-1666 with 6-6-6-15 1N Timings.

Been trying to hit 24K but No luck, unless I push up the voltages. And Do Not want to do that. The sun has been shining and the house is warming up. Wait till December and it is Ice Cold in here, may hit 25K then is the water in the system isn't frozen.

I think I'm going to EZ-Flash to 0601 and see if that may squeeze out another 100 points.

Well I flashed to 0601 and it's only a little better.

Didn't help in 3DMark06 but it shaves almost 0.10 seconds from SuperPi 1M.

4.50GHz is done in 10.250 seconds now.
