UnOfficial Asus Rampage II Extreme Thread

[dejanh]

What RAM? I'd like to get mine higher than 1604 if I could. I haven;t gone above 1.65v and have 1.35 QPI/DRAM (Vtt) also.

You are not going to like this...I think you got rid of this one way back...

Corsair XMS3 Dominator TR3X6G1600C8D 6GB DDR3 3X2GB DDR3-1600 CL 8-8-8-24 Triple Channel Kit

I can actually get mine completly stable up to 1904MHz, but there is no decent CPU OC to go with it.

So you guys think 1.526 v core at 4.2ghz with HT on is safe? My temps were 79-83c ... Just wondering if that clock would shorten my cpu's lifespan greatly.

I personally would not run the Vcore so high. I stop at about 1.45V. Some degradation is probably guaranteed when running Vcore so high for 24/7, but you may not notice it if you do not keep your chips for years on end. I pass on all of my old chips to other people so I do not want to ruin them.

For some reason, I have to have the CPU Turbo Power Limit set to DISABLED for the override to work as well as all C1 and TDP otherwise my multi drops to 20x when priming. Am I missing something?

Settings should be?

CPU Turbo Power Limit = Enabled or Disabled?
C1 = Disabled (given)
TDP = Disabled or Enabled?

Temps? TM causes the processor to downclock when the temperatures get too high. It is not good to turn this feature off. CPU Turbo Power Limit is set to Disabled for me...I just said TDP Override enabled - i.e., limit is disabled

My TM is Enabled too (default).
