ASUS Rampage II Extreme

[Fitseries3]

i just CANT get 4ghz to boot into windows with my RIIE. im running an i7 920 cooled with a Swiftech GTZ and swiftech NB-MAX on the NB backed by a iwaki RD30 and 2 PA120.3's. temps are fine and i have tryed what seems like every single setting in the bios and 4ghz will never make it to the desktop.

whats the deal? any suggestions?

[Viss]

Tried 19 and 21 multi?

What's your specs? Could it be PSU? You've got the awesome board with what is arguably the best power circuitry out there. Also what BIOS? Have you tried reloading OS in case something got hosed up? Have you tested for Memory Errors with MemTest? That system should at least boot to 4GHz with that kind of cooling.

yup.

using a pc power and cooling 860watt psu. i have 2x 4870x2's and 2x gtx260's. im trying to get 4ghz to run with a single gtx260 though.

tried 050X bios, 0602, 0705. all seem the same.

reloaded both xp and vista and 7 many times on different drives.

memory passes memtest flawlessly. im currently using the red gskill 1600mhz 3x1gb kit but i'll have a new set of gskill black PI 1600mhz on monday.

maybe the cpu is a dud?

[yup]

Firstable, plz execute my english

You got the same problem like me. I flashed the bios 0602 then 0705 , but still can't get 4GHz although i set the VCore: 1.45V-1.5V . I tested the RAM and it's ok.

MB - Asus Rampage 2 Extreme - bios 0705
CPU - Core I7 920 , Batch: 3837A723, Spec:SLBCH
RAM - Adata 1333 G  1gb x 3
CPU Cooler - TRUE 120 with 2 Fans
VGA - EVGA GTX260 core 216 
PSU - OCZ Steatlh Stream 

Can anyone setup the bios for me, please?

You need more vcore.. try 1.43 and the rest set to auto. HT Disabled. You can leave on Speedstep and turbo mode.

mine needs 1.48 to even think about getting to the desktop. whats the deal here? bad chip?

Not sure what to say. I got the 920 and the same water blocks, 1 pa120.3 and a D5.

Although not stable, boots into windows just fine @ 4GHz with all settings on auto.

What speed are you running the RAM? are you clocking it down as you raise the bclk?

i have tried all auto. it will boot once but not again after reboot. i have tried underclocking the ram and leaving the timings loose. nothing seems to work.

i can get the cpu and memory level up settings to boot into windows just fine. i did that and measured the voltages and then set them manually and the board wont even post. something is not right here.

Hmm...I know that on my R2E with a Core i7 940 I cannot get 200x20 stable at all. Nothing works. Volts, QPI volts, loosening DRAM timings and speeds, amplitude, nothing...

However, 212x19 is no problem...

I hope that this is not some kind of engineering fault that made it to some R2E boards and not all. It's also not likely that I can contact Asus for an RMA and say "sorry, my i7 940 cannot clock to 4GHz using 200x20 but is fine with 212x19 so please replace my board".
