UnOfficial Asus Rampage II Extreme Thread

[managerman]

Well the CPU seems to need high vCore but it runs quite cool anyway.
Did a Vantage run at 4768MHz, you can see the screens here: http://www.diskusjon.no/index.php?se...ost&p=15208990

Mydog,

I just received a 980X...I upgraded my BIOS to 1802...I am having a real issue overclocking...Would you mind posting your BIOS settings?

What kind of issues?
I'm at work now but I'll post them as soon as I get home.

Big problem getting over 190 BLCK....Maybe I should just not worry about it since the multi is unlocked...but would still like to see your settings...I am not sure about some of the settings for voltages other than VCORE...

Thanks a bunch!

Pushed ram & uncore a little harder for a SPI32M

3.43 GHz | 4049 MHz uncore | DDR3-2025 MHz | 7-8-7-20 1T | B2B = 4

[HazChem]

You could trade/buy a NB/SB Bitspower block. The X-Fi will definitely fit then.

Mydog,

It helped a bunch!!! Thanks!!!...I am well on my way to a nice overclock...will be testing more stability tomorrow...The idle and load temps are insanely low with this chip...100% load on LinX never went above 55C on any core! Gotta love those Cinebench scores!

Nice results, thats 32nm for you cool and fast.
Glad I could help

[toyzruz]

aaaah rampage2 is under water but I dont have a slight of an idea where to start ... want about 4,4+ ghz ... i960 ... where would you start? blck 200 with 23x ... just give me some biossettings .... PLEAZ : toyz

[artemm]

Very nice, managerman.

Is that just for benching or 24/7? Not sure if 1.4v is a good idea on a 32nm chip...

That's high even for 45nm i7...

[zsamz_]

anyone know if i can run crossfire in first blue and third white slots
will it be 16x16?
i'm too lazy to take out the psu
these acceleros takin lots of space

That slot can only run at 8x or 1x, iirc

[zsamz_]

That slot can only run at 8x or 1x, iirc

thanks

i dont think a 4870 will need more than 8
or mabe time to sell the i7 and game on rex

[CryptiK]

Yeah 3rd slot is 8x max electrical. You could always just sell both 4870's and pick up a 5870 heh.

Not sure yet...I have not seen the "official" voltage recommendations for 32nm...but I have seen a lot of posts benchmarking these chips over 1.5v..

I think for now 1.4 would be as high as I go 24/7...but I am sure I will go for some suicide runs to see how far I can take the chip for benchmarking....Why not

i almost bought the 5850 stupid me
and i passed 1 up for 240$
i passed up a 5870 for 350
i traded 4gb of ddr3for another 4870 yesterday

you think its gonna take a big hit 16x8
and i wonder if i can even find a long crossfire cable
i think i wil sell this cherry rig n just game on rex spacing is perfect

[pcnazz]

Hey zsamz . Put your two cards in the pcie x16 slots to get the full bandwidth . I look at it like this , when there is free performance at hand grab it and run with it . Why choose the slower route when a faster way is there for the taken and free !!!

[Brama]

so look me PC.

pci-e #1: GTX 280
pci-e #2: GTX 280
cpi : Xonar D2
pci-e #3: 9800GT for physx

all cooled with BP set

At first sight it seemed a futuristic car engine.

Many compliments!

Rather low LinX speed with 12 threads...
I get 54.4 with 8 threads, 5000 Mb used, x64 core, cpu (i7-975ee) at 4200 MHz, memory at 1877 MHz 7-7-6-18-88, B2B 4.

Can you push a little more your overclock?

Super clean ! Love it .

[CryptiK]

That is a damn fine looking PC seba84_2005, excellent work.

[pcnazz]

My Bios for Rampage II Extreme v1704 & i7 920 & Corsair Dominator 2000GT CL8 Signature Clocks . LinX 50 times passed . Also stable 100% with HT enabled adjusting just IOH to 1.7966v and Dram Round Trip latency CHA CHB CHC to auto with all other bios settings the exact same . Do your own over clocking and stability testing but you can see here what is working for me 24/7 100% stable . Keep in mind with HT enabled you will see about a good 10c higher temps per core .

Dibs on your proc!!!

Dibs on your proc!!!

when i sell you on the top of the list
kinda hard to let go of the perfect day to day rig

nice job seba84_2005, amazing.
