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?
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.Originally Posted by fitseries3
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?

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.

Can anyone setup the bios for me, please?

Hello everyone! I am new to the forums here, but I would like to share how I modded my NB heatsink so I could use any sound card on an Asus Rampage II extreme!! I used an old nforce 2 board NB heatsink and attacjed one of the fans that was in an old Corsair Dominator fan that had a dead fan. I tore out one of the fans and mounted it to the heatsink and it works great! I wanted to be able to use Tri Sli in the near future and use my X-fi titanium card!
I hope this is helpful!!

Hehe, Thx Donor! I am thinking about putting another 240mm rad on the top of my case with the lian li top panel they just realesed for the pc-p80. The heat my too graphics cards produce and the I7 is insane, this should do a good job in combination with my gtx480mm rad!!

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

Yeah, It took me 1.4125v to be stable with HT on for 8 threads. I had to turn off turbo mode because it would instantly bluescreen when trying to increase the frequency to 4.2 ghz. I also had to use a multi of 19x because 20x200 would boot to windows but instantly crash When I ran Prime95.....I am using the same memory jasonelmore has also.....

I'd just love to get 20X210 stable haha.. i've already got 20X200.. But its going to take some serious tweaking with the VTT and probably 1.5+ on the core

Hehe, yeah that would be awesome.....I wish I could just leave turbomode on and get 4.2ghz and not crash....what settings are you using in the bios, this might really help me achieve this!!

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".
@dejanh
some i7 have problems with mutliplier 20. my first 920 have this problem too. my second 920 not. change the cpu and test again

Ok for all of you that can't get your 920's up to 4.0 Ghz (4.2 with turbo mode) go to my post over here. I started a thread the other day dedicated to us people with Rampage II Extreme's. I'll post my Bios settings over there.
