Live MB OC Report :: ASUS Rampage Extreme

I was playing around a lil more with watercooling on cpu:

I've got the micron D9GTS working nicely, but does anyone know the best settings for the Samsung ICs with this board? I have seen no improvement going from 401 to 801 bios. Is there another I should try? Am I missing something about Samsung and this board?

So far with the samsung I can get 2000 with CL9 trd7 but I can't get sub timings very tight and the efficiency sucks. Is there some different skew or trd/twister combo that I need to use with these? The GTS was smokin fast.

I think what you're "missing" about the Samsung is that the Micron ICs are far superior.

Really? I thought some were getting good results with these. I still have the opportunity to return these and get more micron.

Then take this opportunity !
Haven´t seen any good oc-results with samsungs for a long time ( and not one good/impressive result on DDR3 ).

This is the best I've had so far from the CS3222271 (CL7/960mhz), with 32m stability
vNB 1.65V (set) is quite reasonable for tRD8.

No OS tweaks or C/W for these runs.

I have also tried since with silver theme, maxmem, Large system cache and SPiTweaker,
and together they take about 8 seconds off the 10m09s time. May get a bit more with experience.
Quite useful as the subtimings won't really tighten at this memory clock (if I want to finish the run).
vDIMM levels already causing errors, and unusable above 2.0V (set)

Hey guys, nice thread, I'm enjoying reading it, but am only part way through. I am looking at possibly getting a Rampage Extreme, and I would like to know if the Team Xtreem 2GB DDR3 PC3-12800 C7 (2 x 1GB, 1600Mhz) kit that uses D9GTR IC's plays nicely with this board?

Nothing special but i did this with my Samsung HFC0 based Gskill mem:



Sold this mem cause it didn't like CAS 7 much over it's rated speed, not even with 2.05V.

[mrcape]

Thanks for the heads up guys, going to grab more micron.

i can't speak for that particular kit, but i've had no probs running GTR IC's (cellshock & ballistix)

[CryptiK]

@ Pyro - Great thanks that's good to know.

[Zeus]

Same here D9GTS (CSX diablo) runs flawless on this board.

I just got mine, got to finish writing some papers then I'm devoting serious time with those babies.

Hey there just moved from P5Q-Deluxe (Considering the CL4 bandwidth issue) to DFI-UT-X48-T3RS and then back to Asus: Rampage Extreme.

Actually I've got both 3 main Micron IC's memory module all from Crucial. They're:
CL12864BA1067: Curcial Value CL7-1066 D9JNL
BL2KIT12864BA1336: Crucial Ballistix CL6-1333 D9GTR
BL2KIT12864BE2009: Crucial Ballistix CL9-2000 D9GTS

From my rough tests so far...D9GTR runs without any problems.
With this kit I can get
CL7-6-5-18 1T tRFC 48 1800Mhz 7/24 Stable @ 2v
CL6-6-5-17 1T tRFC 48 1600Mhz 7/24 Stable @ 2.08v
But no luck with 8-7-6-21 2000Mhz even @ 2.15v.

While D9GTS has really impressive results:
CL9-9-9-24 1T tRFC 60 2000Mhz 7/24 Stable @1.84v
CL7-6-5-18 1T tRFC 60 2000Mhz Dual PI 32m Stable @2.09v BIOS

But D9JNL's result is really disappointing:
CL7-7-7-21 1T tRFC 110 1664Mhz random freeze @ 1.9v
Any higher voltage will result in either memtest error or random freeze.
I was wonderin if there are some compatibility issues related or so?

For my own question: Does somebody know how to adjust DIMM VTT? Seems the DRAM vREF setting isn't doing a thing to DRAM VTT adjustment?

for d9jnl
the freeze issue i solved it with nbb dram vtt +12.5 and channel a/b at +25

theres other test to show the adjustment of vtt needed and also skewing of cmd/clk/ctl
so far for myself
cmd is 1N-2N related with cpu vcore for orthos small fft
clk is nb gtl/voltage...orthos blend then custom min max 4096 fft
ctl is dram vtt related.. +nb voltage related...with orthos blend then custom min/max 4096

[ragheb]

Cheapseats & ToyTen,
Guys you have one hell of an oclk rig there. I am reasonably knowledgeable in the Oclking scene but for the life of me I am baffled with this issue.
I have the same CS3222271 2x1GB CellShock & a C2D E8600 Rev E0 but I can never get my FSB to go higher than 400 on your MemSet parameters on a 333 FSB Strap.
I have used as much as I can gather from this thread the necessary volts increases and applied but still no luck. All my setting in Bios are on Auto except for the strap...

Could you list your modified settings in Bios with the relevant increases in volts please.
Many thanks

Yeah I'll try that later...thanks mate...
for the cmd/clk/ctl skew I can't get what you mean...can you explain more?

[GLENBOY]

nothing amazing but i thought i'd see what fsb and ram speed i could get orthos stable on my e8600 Q822A435 on the rampage extreme, stopped it when over an hour (thats enough for me , the q822a435 i have loves low volts and is orthos stable at 4360 at 1.272 volt real at a lower fsb, but mine runs hot for the volts used, the cpu is on watercooling as is the northbridge

Volts used
cpu 1.28 (1.2875 set in bios llc enabled)
northbridge 1.54
vtt 1.40
ram 1.93
cpu pll 1.51 set in bios

[Viss]

Nice mate

[GLENBOY]

cheers loc.o you've had some amazing results recently yourself congrats m8., weird board the rampage but once its stable its rock solid

[Ozzfest05]

it seems for me 4.4 with 490 fsb is so easy even with low voltage but 4.5 with 500 fsb is being a b atch to say the least its like the hump I need to get over to bigger and better things I will do it but I want to get my watercooling stuff put in it first for lower temps and I want to stay under 1.30 volts for 4.5 which should be easy considering 4.4 im at 1.24 but its been a journey with it so far I was thinking changig bios versions currently on 0503

[cstkl1]

team just certified their pc3-16000 2x2gb for RE

[cheapseats]

I'm using cellshock 1800 and a q9450, my voltages are:

at 3.6 (450*8)

and if i use 2x1gb I can run prime95 without problems.....



.....but if i try using 4x 1gb I can only ruum 2 testes without errors,

I've raised th nb voltage to 1.59 and I can run 4 prime testes then th cpu reboots.

In single post here u say that can be usesd 4x1gb ajusting ddrref acoirding tho recomendations, do you know what is the value?

I want to put my system stable at 450*8

Can you please help?

hi frank - sorry for the late reply and hope you've sorted it already. My own 4x1 experience is too limited to make any useful suggestions - my max 4x1GB clock was 800mhz (1600)....CL8 No quad here either.

Also Frank, the DDRref settings that I mentioned testing, were for 2x1GB D9JNL and at 500FSB/1:2/CL8/vNB 1.60/vDIMM 1.90
(I used NBDDR +12.5 and A/B DDR +12.5).




@ ragheb

hi ragheb , are you using a RE with CS3222271 (D9JNL) - same as me ?
I think ToyTen's kit is CS3222270 (D9GTR)

Happy to post my CS3222271-based settings, but for which clocks ?

Also what happens above 400FSB on yours ? Is your kit memtest stable at rated 800mhz/CL7 - mine needs about 1.68V for that.

[rob2k]

Hello and Merry Christmas to you all hope Santa bought you lots of new technology

Had a little spare time whilst the wife is at work so I decided to have a play with Intel Burn Test to see how stable my settings are. Well the IBT stresses the system a lot more than running HyperPi on all 4 cores. CPU temps reached 71 although my rad fans are set to 70% speed to keep things at a sensible noise level.

Here's where I maxed out 472FSB and 1888 memory .........



Not bad for a quad so I'm pleased with the results. I think the memory would go more as I kept the timings tight but the CPU just managed to pass 4Ghz and would fail the test around the 4030Hz mark.

[Diegis0n]

Nice results
