Live MB OC Report :: ASUS Rampage Extreme

[CryptiK]

cryptik, you're going crazy with posts for this board now lol. does that mean you finally left the M2F thread? this is a much better board ya?

Well my M2F is the board in my 24/7,work, etc system, and it's still going well, but I'm not benching with it anymore. I am definitely enjoying the REX a lot though.

Looking for some help with this. I have had two Rampage Extreme's and twice the cap behind the CPU socket has blown out. Both times I was running LN2. The board and CPU scaled fine up to 1.75 Vcore tried to go to the next step and when I went to save the settings the board shut down. Was able to get it to start one more time to save my screen shots to a thumb drive.
My setting:
CPU Vcore: 1.75 ok next step up no good
PLL: 1.63
VTT: 1.41-1.44
NB: 1.61
GTLs all auto
SB: 1.55
sb: 1.1
The fisrt time the boardtook out my E8600 and I beleive it did thesame this time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From what I've read, these boards seem to be prone to failure with LN2 and many also take the cpu's with them when they go. How have you determined that the cap (the Fujitsu ML cap) behind the socket blew? Have you checked the fets for damage too?
