UnOfficial Asus Rampage II Extreme Thread

[jcniest5]

Thanks for the replies, i went ahead and ordered Enermax Revolution 1050W I hope thats the right one... we'll see how that works out and now i just have to contact OCZ and get a replacement one from them..

You will be glad you ordered it. Keep us posted how it works out, though.

Hi everyone ! Excuse me, please, if this question has already been asked but does anybody know how to turn off the onboard buttons (Start, reset...) backlight when the system is in soft-off mode ?

I don't think they can turn off...

[Tigris STI]

I don't think they can turn off...

Too bad Soo... maybe we should try asking ASUS to add this option to the next BIOS update for the mobo ?

That's kind of counter intuitive to the purpose of those buttons. They are supposed to light up so that you can see them in low light and be able to power up the board...

I personally do not think this is an issue, but that's just my $0.02.

I have a semi weird issue that I noticed. I have a a usb 2.0 card reader as well as the case usb ports and while using it with my corsair 8g thumb drive I get at most 9mb to 12mb transfer speed. On my dad's simple gateway laptop the transfer speeds are up to 30mb to 40mb highest I've seen. So what is up with this?

Haven't been keeping up with this thread in a bit... I recently got the new OCZ Blade 7-7-7-20 2000 DDR3 and I am having trouble reaching 2000. I recall something about QPI to Uncore ration needing to be 3:4 or something and uncore had to be under 8000 as the board cant run above that?

Am I making up these memories? Anyway, how do I get 2000-2133? Im baffled.

I am testing now your same memories and I confirm that it is very hard to keep 2000 MHz stable.

On Win 7 x64 I have to raise till 1,45 V the Vtt to finish boot and 1,5 V is not enough to have a rock stable system,

I wonder if you found some trick meanwhile to reach 2000 MHz and not using so high Vtt that Intel says is a little dangerous for 24/7 use.

This is my third rig and i hope that each component will run flawlessly on it... so far my both previous rigs had gigabyte board.... this is my first Asus

Anyways.... i have one issue. Ive read several forum topics that the first black audio slot will not fit Titanium card unless i bend down that passive or even rip it off....do you guys have Titanium card in that slot and how did you solve it? I don't want to rip it off cos warranty may void

Also ... will the newest bios recognize 975EE?

i have an fxi extreme audio (pci-e variant) in that same slot and the card is pretty much the same size as yours..
i can corfirm that it would not work... howevver i have put a watercoolingblok on there and it's a litle smaler so now it barely fits

[cx-ray]

If you don't want to mess with the heatsink you can stick the X-Fi Titanium in the last slot instead.

What Memory Frequency do you have memory running at? Is it set to Auto or do you manually adjust it to something else?

What is the main difference between this R2E and P6T Deluxe V2? is it worth the upgrade?
