X48 Rampage Formula Preview.

I was just playing with 1t clocking here; not fun at all. What a waste of potential. Anyway, one of my cores is messing with my overclocks. Why don't we ask for individual clock skews/gtls? They do that, we stop bothering them.

So you tried the 1N command rate aye Hows your head doing?

I found I needed to advance CMD Skew about half the amount I had to advance CLK skew on mine.

We did ask for individual clock skews and GTLs, Asus guys asked why do we need them LOL ouch I say.

We can keep bugging though. We'll wait and see when the next beta bios comes out as they are supposed to be adding tREF timing. Perhaps one of my other many requested options will be added too who knows. I'm pretty sure their bios programmers have their hands full at the moment working on all the I7 bios problems they've got heh!

Well you could turn that around on them and ask why were those options available on the P5E3 Premium, P5Q Deluxe, Maximus II Formula, etc. if we didn't need them.

I had tried 1N clocking with Maximus Formula/Rampage Formula in the past with dismal success; same story with this bios.

We do need individual gtl control; also lower gtl than 62x would be very helpful. Asus' tactics is equal to neutering in order to promote sales of their newer offerings. This board is very capable as it is, but it can get better easily - all that is needed is for the decision-makers to issue the order.

I totally agree with that. That's why we should try to convince them that a BIOS on our Rampage Formula needs these settings. It's a X48 board. This chipset was made by Intel for performance and needs a BIOS with all these settings available. Anything less isn't acceptable.
Although the CPU and NB Clocks Skew, that they added in the BIOS gives us better stability and higher clocks, it doesn't fix all the problems.
I still have to inform them about what we think of this BIOS but I'll wait for that till I tested this BIOS with my G.Skill memory at 1200MHz.
When I'm going to inform them I'll need an explanation with what we need in the BIOS and Why we need it. The "Why" is very important. That's the only way to convince them.
And don't worry the person at ASUS that i'm going to send it to is going to understand everything that we're talking about. That's why it's so hard to convince them.
