Live MB OC Report :: ASUS Rampage Extreme

[aln688]

Three questions:

(1) What are these BIOS's that a user named "Kensek" is making, what is supposed to be special about them? Obviously Asus never released a 1001 BIOS so I assume this came from Kensek.

(2) When installing the Thermalright HR-05 IFX heatsink, where did you folks put the thermal compound, on the SB/NB chip, or on the bottom of the HR-05? Thermalright actually lists in their instructions to put it on both. For me, it make sense to put it on the bottom of the HR-05, the surface area of that is less than my NB chip.

(3) For RAM, is anyone running 8GB on this board? I have 4GB but want 8GB, my mild overclocking indicates the RAM will be running at stock 1600 MHz speed, i.e. 400 FSB, 8.5 multiplier, 3400 MHz (3.4 GHz), 1600 MHz RAM speed. I remember Intel's DX48BT2 board warned against installing more than 4GB, I saw no such warning on this board.

Thanks all.
