UnOfficial Asus Rampage II Extreme Thread

A small question to all of you guys, who are running their RAM at 1800-2000MHz: What QPI voltage do you set to get your system stable ?

at 2000MhZ 7-8-7-20 1T, with 920D0, I put 1.50v in vqpi (in idle 1.46v and ~1.43v in load) to be stable h24 7/7

the R2E varies greatly on tension...

[AquaRelliux]

Have you checked on your Mixer setting? Or did you just adjust the volume using the speaker icon located at bottom right? Sometimes the Wave setting under Mixer may be set way too low and so adjusting the overall volume doesn't help. Check the Mixer setting if you haven't already done so.

They are all set to max but I dont enough volume, but that dosent explain why I dont have the icon? did they remove it on those drivers?

[ 1406 ]
----------------------
1. Support OC station
2. Improve memory compatibility
3. Supported EIST function when CPU ratio is in manual mode
4. Fix Vista loading slowly if use over 3GB RAM

Bios 1406 is solid here so far.

Bios 1406 is solid here so far.

With 1406 I lost my stability at 2005 MHz with 6 Gb OCZ blade 7-8-7 memories.

I found the balance of voltages to be rock solid at 2000 MHz with 1403 under Win7 x64 but these values are no more working with 1406.

I have to work on it.

[etoo]

To overclock is better to let the SpeedStep enabled or disabled?

[AquaRelliux]

So none have any idea on my problem? isent it supposed to give a taskbar icon

[Tommi_Vercetti]

222 bclk wall fixed yet?

seemed not, it's quite weird that while the D0 sample can hit 241 BCLK @ Classified, ASUS R2E couldn't pass 222 wall...

[Papagaj]

well tomorrow i should finally get my CPU and make the rig real..... seems like i should be ok to just flash the bios 1406 right? The board has certainly an old one without 975EE support....also i'm gonna use G19 and notes says that support for this keyboard is improved in 1406...

Do not attempt to load your previous overclock profile with 1406. You must re-enter them in manually again...

I can Load my Profile from 1403 Bios with the 1406 Bios but from 1306 to 1406 No chance

[theonlybabyface]

I wouldn't even do that and for sure, do a cmos clear prior. This BIOS is very good for me anyways...

Yes the bios is very good only I do not understand why Asus has deleted it again on the server
I test with any new bios the voltage again New
profiel which are only a clue

PS - I was also able to drop my vcore down a couple of notches....

Hello XS

I just got this mobo and installed and everythign runs fine except I have some problem with the soundcard. I installed the drivers and the sound works but I have atm maxed windows volume setting and maxed headset volume and it is sometimes not loud enough anyone haveing the same problem?, on my old Maximus boards I couldent even have my headset on 50% volume because that was to much. I also never got a icon for the soundcard on my taskbar(like the ATi icon but for audio) after I installed the drivers. Without the icon I can basicly only play with the windows settings shouldent this card have professional settings like my previous Maximus I and II had?, the soundcard looks the same to me. I tried reinstall the drivers without getting the taskbar icon so what am I doign wrong?. I downloaded the sound drivers from Asus site the only ones that is on there(7.5 mb). Anyone have any ideas what is wrong, anyone have any solution?

I am using Vista 64 if that might have something to do with it.

Check this link, the drivers in it might be of more help. I would ask the guy that found them first to be sure.

[coldilian]

Bios 1406 sounds good. Got to try that see how it overclocks. Anyone lap the i7 hear?

I was thinking about it, it made no difference when i did my E8600, so i would like to find what i will run this one at 24/7 and if the temps could be a lot better then it will get done too.

This guy did his:

I think this might help to a lot of people. It's X-Fi Titanium Fatality Pro sound card in first black Pci-e 1x slot. I also placed 280GTX card so you can see how it will look like in real.

Took me about 40 seconds with screwdriver help...

[Brama]

I know it and I did re-enter them manually.
Unfortunately till now I was not able to find a rock stable situation with RAM at 2000 MHz.

Anyway the issue after S3 suspension is still present: CAS is set at 4 when you awake from an S3 stand-by and the ICM memory area is still not writable so you can not set latencies, etc. with CPU-Tweaker.

[Papagaj]

So everighing fit very nice after all including Titanium card in 1st black slot... the board is AWESOME stable !!!!

Also core i7 LOVES WORLD OF WARCRAFT )) G19 screen from overcrovded Dalaran. All graphic settings MAXED to the bone and all i have are 60 fps constant with no shuttering, no lags.... smooth play. What an upgrade from C2D

Guys i have question, how i can check this mobo in shop dose it have stepping b3 of chipset ?

[sholvaco]

It doesn't and probably won't ever come with b3 revision IOH. The word on the street is they have EOLed the RIIE and are *either going to focus on the P55/P57 with the ROG line or introduce a new X58 ROG board with the fall line-up refresh (along with P6X Premium).

*pure speculation on my part from here forward

[Malik]

EOLed the RIIE

What is this EOLed ?

UPDATE:

ok i found what that word means

You think that is over of r2e ?
