Hi guys,

if all goes well i should be receiving my asus rampage extreme tomorrow,
along with some dominator GT 1866 CL7.

I'm a bit lost on the bios, on my previous mobo, a dfi dk lanparty p45 t2rs+
there was a specific bios that outperformed most others by a decent length.

How does the rex do in this? are there any favorites for certain cpu's or?

It's for the use of an E8600

Thanks in advance!

[zsamz_]

just got the board
i gotta say i'm impressed with the board not impressed with ddr3 lol
too bad asus put heatpipe crap all over
gonna take some time figuring out everything
gonna take out all the heatpipes n replace all heatsinks
nb idlin @ 53c no good

[radaja]

zsamz,looking forward to seeing some of your results on this board

zsamz,looking forward to seeing some of your results on this board

i only got 1 goal i wanna see 13k in everest

[radaja]

im sure you can do it.
just make sure to post it when you do

Hi thijs just tried my elpida on RE. nice experience so far

this is on 0403. can't say if new bios would be better for elpida - no other testing yet.


485x8 / 1:2 / 333 strap




563x8 / 5:8




565x7 / 5:8

maxmem 680MB + waza

faster than 2x1GB (D9GTR) @ 7-6-5-15 = 569x7 to get same time. even 7-5-5-15 was still 566/567fsb.

Okey guys time to rise to the occasion, I have run two Super Pi on my EP45T-UD3P and now it´s time to compare this with Rampage Extreme.

Seriously, it would be nice to compare the two boards with each others with the same kind of quad @ the same FSB, clockspeed and 2x2Gb ram.

This was done with Windows 7 RC 64bit and with no optimizations, a Q9650 @ 500, 4,5GHz and 2x2Gb ram @ 1600 777 21 tRD 9.

Anyone interested.

Well it seems like no one was interested in this so I fired up my RE and did a comparison myself, the outcome is to no surprise for no one I think.

One of the downsides for the RE is that is tough to maintain a stable 500 bus speed with a 45nm quad then with the EP45T, with the EP45T it´s so easy to run 500 bus, one of the downsides on the EP45T is that I couldn´t run my 2x1 Dominator 1800C7 at their rated speed and with both it was tough to run high ram speed, can´t run stable 1800 and up with 2x2Gb on either of them, seems like Elpida low volt ram is the way to go if one want to run DDR3-1800 or higher I think.

This was done with Windows 7 RC 64bit and with no optimizations, a Q9650 @ 500, 4,5GHz and 2x2Gb ram @ 1600 777 21 1T tRD 8 Strong.

cant do much not too much time i really dont like nb60c and sb45c temps
i flashed to 1202 bios
only ran prime 30 min
i need some d9gts how good are BL2KIT12864BA1608

[zsamz_]

i got my moded xigmatek 1283 ready for nb

whats better to cool the mosfets HR-09 U TYPE1 or Enzotech MST-81

i saw you mod 3oh6 with Enzotech BMR-C1 but i prefer mx2 to thermaltape


thijs: board came with 501 bios 1202 is much better

wow nice timings and clocks.. i just started playing with rma replacement kingston elpida hyper 2x2GB - ignore the times just finding 32m stable points

Pretty good for 2x2GB Kingston 2000C8 dual channel @DDR3-1900Mhz 8-8-8-24 1T for single Super Pi 32M at least. As expected needed slightly more NB and vdimm voltage compared to same memory frequencies for single 2GB module testing.

2T vs 1T - memtest86+ v2.11 reported bandwidth difference was 6953Mhz vs 7210Mhz.

2T




1T




Didn't have to touch tRTR_S/RTR_D and tWTW_S/WTW_D timings at all from auto



@DDR3-2042Mhz 8-8-8-24 1T

At same vdimm 1.67006v bios validation @DDR3-2042Mhz 8-8-8-24 1T

[eva2000]

2x2GB Kingston HyperX DDR3-2000Mhz CAS8 (Elpida Hyper)
Dual Channel @7-7-7-21 1T
Seems 7-7-7-21 timings are easier to scale than 8-8-8-24 for this memory on Asus Rampage Extreme. DDR3-1952Mhz coincidentally is the highest memory frequency I've managed for Super Pi 32M on Asus Rampage Extreme so far. My Micron D9GTR/Samsung HCF0 seem to top out around 950-964mhz for 32M Pi.

Also 1T gives approximately 270MB/s more memtest86+ v2.11 memory bandwidth than 2T at same memory frequencies in dual channel mode.

do you help me with this problem? excuse me for my english i'm italian

[radaja]

could someone please help me.
i was wondering if anyone has successfully used this
ram with this board?i have 8 gigs of it and want to
get this board.dont really care about how it OC's
just want to be able to fire up the board when
i get it.ill get some good ram later. thanks
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...dlist=celebros

the 1GB sticks are on the QVL,so im hoping these will work too

[WhiteFireDragon]

it should work, i haven't seen anyone report of problems of not booting with 8gb of memory. but chances are, i doubt anyone on this forum with a RE will overload the board with 8gb memory of those specific model. this boards for high bandwidth and tight timing, not high capacity. you should try it out and let everyone know how it goes

as for my question, does anyone get a hard disc detection error during boot up? i'm getting this error every time, but it seems everything is working fine. it says something along this line during the bios boot screen:

Marvel adapter - BIOS xxxxx

initializing...

No Hard disc is detected

what needs to be changed in bios to fix this error msg?

[Leeghoofd]

Maybe hook up a HD to that controller ? or Disable the Marvell controller in the bios...

thanks WhiteFireDragon,but i was meaning those particular sticks
probably wont run 8gigs,i just have two sets.just need to know
if this particular kit of ram works with the RE. thanks

Don´t know if those particular Doms work but just look at the spec, I don´t think it´s gonna be any problem to run 1333C9, if OC, hard to tell.

I have 4x2Gb of Crucial Value 1333C9 (Micron D9KPT) and there´s no problem with those @ 1333C9, I can run them at 1600C8 @ 1,80v also.

[cheapseats]

testing 2x2GB elpida on vista 64

quite interesting result for vNB..


0403 BIOS / 450fsb / 1:2 / 900mhz / CL7 / tRD6

vDIMM 1.51V set / vNB 1.40 set / (NBGTL/skews/vREF auto)

Prime Blend custom 2048-4096K (mem 3.7GB)

Awesome cheapseats as always , this makes me want some OCZ Blade

thanks,i think ill get the board,because if the 2x1GB sticks work the 2x2GB should be fine for running it stock or a mild OC,until i get a great OCing set.
any recommendations as to which 2x1GB kit OC's the best on the RE?

One of best 2x1Gb for OC are Corsair Dominator PC-14400 1800C7 (Micron D9GTR) but I think that any 2x1Gb ram (1800-2000MHz CAS 7-9) with Micro D9GTR are good, example Crucial Ballistix 1800C8-2000C9

just pulled the trigger,and bought the REX
got it for 219$ and then 50$ rebate from ewiz
169$

Nice , one more proud Rampage Extreme owner.

I suppose that you gonna pop in your magic chip into this RE, it should be interesting to see if it performce better with the RE then with your UD3.

The only thing that´s missing is some nice ram sticks to pair with the above.

Maybe this one, Super Talent Project 1800C7, it´s only 69,99$, 40$ lower then Newegg and according to Hardware Canucks they are pretty good, here´s the review.

Happy haunting.
