UnOfficial Asus Rampage II Extreme Thread

I havent has any issues with 1001, in fact I went from not being able to get my i7920 stable at 4Ghz to being able to get it stable 4.2Ghz with even less vcore! The only time I have had problems booting is right after flashing when it got stuck at "locked" stage, all I had to do was ground the computer and reboot.

I had a 'BIOS encountered a boot error' when turning my system OFF. The PC actually shut down, restarted itself and then threw up that error, just the once on BIOS 1001. I'm now back at 0805.

My clock also seems to be 'throttling down' when running a LinX run , is this normal? HT and Turbo on @ 190 x 21, running LinX it drops to 190 x 20, but not so in Prime?

Also, in Windows 7, it only shows my clock speed @ 2.67 (stock), CPUz shows it to be 3990.4?

Prime doesnt throttle it with ht off for me, but with 21x200 and HT on, it throttles to 4ghz and 20x......

Update from Asus on the TDP limit issue (I quote the email reply to me)

"I've put forward your test procedure to TPE HQ for check.
Our engineer is testing and studying this issue now.
We didn't consider putting the TDP/TDC limit option to our BIOS menu at initial design because this function is no useful to our boards.
Our designer is now checking whether we should put this function in our BIOS menu.
It will takes some time. Anyway, I'll update the statue if I got news.
Thanks"

Great news, i hope so to that this issue get's fixed now that i have a 920 that can run 200x21

Has anyone else been having problems with the 1001 BIOS? Ever since I flashed to it I have been getting random problems booting up after shut down, not cold boot style but with DET DRAM hanging. This morning I had to reset CMOS, pull the battery, take away the power supply, remove 1 stick of DRAM, then boot, shutdown, then reinstall the battery, then the 1 stick or DRAM and then I booted fine.

You guessed it, I flashed right back to 0904. I've never had these problems until I moved to 1001. Everything else stayed exactly the same in my system, including all of the settings.

No problems here m8, hadn't had any bootup problems what so ever, no cold boot issue also, i'm happy whit it.

Same here, if i run 200x21 HT on, Turbo on, it throttles back to 200x20 Tested with Prime95 Small FFTs an LinX.
