Live MB OC Report :: ASUS Rampage Extreme

[ragheb]

I am going mad...Just did what rob2k and still f***ing doing the same!!
Running on 1001 bios but will flash the 1003 and load defaults and see maybe this one works better.

[Gullo92]

ROB2K CAN YOU POST your settings with 472 fsb please. thanks excuse me for my english i'm italian.

[rob2k]

@ ragheb - Nightmare !!, another thing I did at the same time was to uninstall Memset just in case this was changing the settings whilst Windows was booting.

@ DerekT - Cheers for the heads up. 1003 is working well here too. I can now run Intel Burn Test and HyperPi at 475FSB



@ Gullo92 - Will PM my settings to you to save space.

[GLENBOY]

hi there where you downloading the 1003 bios from , thanks

[Gullo92]

can you post bios 1003? i don't find it

[cheapseats]

1003 only seemed to be at these 2 earlier

Here you go.

@ DerekT - Cheers for the heads up. 1003 is working well here too. I can now run Intel Burn Test and HyperPi at 475FSB

Yep. I am now fully game stable.

[ragheb]

You know what rob2k I think you are absolutely right about Memset. It places an entry on the in the windows startup files.
I will disable this and see if that sort this weird thing up..thanks for the hunch.

[ragheb]

rob2k..Well done for your input. the mem timings now work but you neednt uninstall Memset, just uncheck the entry using msconfig and it should bypass the last saved file.

[Gullo92]

hi

in to bios do you have changed other settings?? example chipest ecc.. because the ram is unstable with voltage 2.05.

you put the ram into slot white or blue??

[GLENBOY]

both slots generally similar but the white slots are supposed to be the best ones

[Gullo92]

i have q9550 rammpage extreme ad corsair dominator 1800( ram of rob2k) the overclock of cpu is with multi 8.5 my q9550 has multi 8.5. excuseme for my english i'm italian

[ragheb]

worth a bit more work though as 200strap/tRD6 (above 475FSB) gives reasonable performance for CL8.
All other straps are slower with CL8/1:2 at 500FSB.

500x9 / 1000mhz / 200 strap / CL8 / tRD 6 / CT Strong

thanks cstkl1 for the GTL, IBT stability is better than with my GTL

SOUTH BRIDGE 1.5 VOLTAGE ===================1.617
SOUTH BRIDGE 1.05 VOLTAGE ==================1.100

CPU SPREAD SPRECTRUM =======================DISABLED
PCIE SPREAD SPECTRUM =======================DISABLED

Thanks cstkl1 & cheapseats for your help. I managed finally to get the following setup see picture as per cheapseats above bios settings. Memtest stable after 100% run but have not yet pushed my rig to fully be happy that it completely stable at these speeds.


Anyway, glad to have resolved this finally but now I want to hit 600 FSB & I was wondering what I need to put in bios in order to always get a 5:8 FSB to DRAM ratio?

very nice ragheb performance level 6 at ddr2040 , excellent

[ragheb]

Thank you Glenboy.
I was getting rather frustrated with my Cellshock RAM & I must say it is very finicky with vDIMM above 1.90 with huge instability in Windows. Nevertheless it maintains tight timings very well at that vDIMM.
Now, I'd like to get into the 600Mhz Club...

also last note.. with the skewing above u can reduce ure nb voltage example for 563 fsb from no skewing at 1.61set(1.59set) to skewing at 1.59set( 1.56 true).. i call that worth it...
so far doesnt do much for vdimm voltages for me personally
also y skewing is so important
so far from my experience if i get 4ghz and whatever fsb super stable and all the skewing right.. then upping the multi and vcore is 100% confirmed and trouble free from any ram or nb voltage issues...this is y this mobo can do 4.5ghz confirm stable everytime
the maximus 2 etc.. i can get today 4.5ghz stable 6 hours small fft priority 10.. and again tommorow fail in 3 minutes.. and next day pass 1 hour etc etc.. because of skewing..
vcore voltage reduction ... cmd skews affects this..

Thanks for your guide too will try that out later...
Yeah that may solve my problem as well...as my E8400 E0 can run small FFTs overnight @ 1.33v/4.36Ghz but fails @4.5Ghz no matter how high the voltages I pumped...so does it means it maybe possibly related to DRAM CMD Skew? Thanks in advance...

My Crucial Value (D9JNL) also have this problem.
If I bump more then 1.9v no matter what frequencies I set (even 1066Mhz) it still got wierd memtest86+ errors. The error will count in but the details won't always show below the screen. And it's confirmed not overheat issue. While that kit REALLY disappointing as with 1.9v still cannot get 1664Mhz CAS7 Stable.

[ragheb]

Hi ci2kla,
check the post (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=1812) where I managed 1800 with CL7 with my RAM.
See if you can replicate it using the same settings..
Good luck

Thanks but sorry not likely...I've tried like 40 different combinations but still no luck

[ragheb]

ci2kla,
I see that you are using 0701 as bios ver from your sig. Have you tried 1003. Running stable at 485*9.5 at 1.4v & 88824 1T with PL=6 suprisingly & I think this has quite a bit to do with the latest bios.

[Gullo92]

can you help me with overclocking??. i have rampage extreme(with bios 1003) intel q9550 corsair dominator 1800 mhz 2n 2.00V 7 7 7 20(my ram haven't xmp function). help me please. can you post settings with my setup? excuse me for my english i'm italian. this is the settings of rob2k he is a qx9770( in this overclock have multi 8.5 q9550 have multi 8.5) rampage extreme and my ram.

i have tried with 472 fsb and 475 fsb but the ram is unstable help me!!!

You need any spoonfeeding??
ram unstable? try upping ram volts.
fsb unstable? try tuning NB GTL/ CPU GTL for quad cores.
test FSB stable? HCI memtest 3.8 run in dual / memtest86+ v2.01, test #7

kekeke chill bro

among all the asus mobo's i have used
this is considered the hardest to clock
as its even fussy on the ram chipsets

easiest by far is the rampage ii extreme.. no idea why they even need a guide for x58

well I can still remember just last 2 months I was getting mad sturggling to get 535 FSB stable on a DFI LP UT-X48-T3RS...compare with this board...just keep everything auto and adjust the FSB frequency to 600, fire it up, the BIOS screen pops up, bravo.

IMO you must know what you're doing when you make any adjustments on overclocking...testing tools are also important to figure out which part of hardware is holding you back. Basic tools are like Memtest86+ v2.01 (Mostly used #5 and #7), HCI Memtest 3.8, ORTHOS SP2004 / Prime95, IntelBurnTest, Etc.

[Gullo92]

i don't expert with overclock can you post the setting that i put into bios?
