UnOfficial Asus Rampage II Extreme Thread

[dejanh]

while running p95 temps rise to 56c after about 30seconds then hardlock.

the thing i dont understand is the first week i had this setup this cpu ran 4.3ghz easily. i even got a screenshot at 4.5ghz.

Um, sounds like your CPU is dying my friend...maybe a little too much voltage?

If you run the volts too high it will suffer degradation and then even at the same volts you will not be able to get the same clocks. Over time, this will get worse up until the point where you need like 1.5V to run stock speeds and the chip dies.

On the note of the cold-boot issue...seems to be a lot of people that are having this problem. It is not the PSU for sure. Two people with the same PSU may not get the same problem. Sounds like faulty boards to me...

Did anyone RMA the board and got a working replacement?

Also, I wonder if there is some kind of fault on the boards could that be affecting our OC ability as well? What are your OCs like for people that have the cold-boot problems?
