UnOfficial Asus Rampage II Extreme Thread

You are not considering temperatures between 40 and 50 as overheating don't you? Cos I think thats pretty normal....What sent you that SB overheating warning? Speedfan or what?

No that was a weird one, i was running LinX and when i restarted the PC to change a couple of settings when the BIOS gave the the SB overtemp warning.

When i was running LinX Everest reported NB at around 50c and SB was only 44c(ish) so i tohught this was odd.

If i have no fans anywhere near the NB/IOH sink it gets hot to the touch without even windows booted up.
Its not massive worry but i have the heat under control everywhere else so i will come up with sometihng for the board too.

Had a question about Vcore good u asked.
For my 4ghz oc i got.
1.34375(bios)
CPU-Z shows 1.336
HW monitor 1.34
Everest 1.35-1.4 happens when its in prime. The other 2 programs dont increase though. The LCD poster also shows identical to everest. I dont understand how it will increase if i set it in bios 1.34.

Well almost all boards are undervolting... in other words.... the reality is lower than is set in bios. So that's ok.

If you are getting different values of V-core when IDLE and BURN... that is cos LOADLINE CALIBRATION. I think it's better to enable it. But i'm not sure here.

80 degrees, 1.35 Vcore and 4Ghz on air.... I think you are ok m8

Well hopefully ill get Water cooling so ill lower the temps. Just trying to understand the whole barbs and compression sizes first.
