I want to borrow the three graphics cards and the ram for some testing.
What do you mean "top bin 980x"?

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/249242-28-binning

The newly fabbed CPU is connected to a special "tester" machine (see: teradyne.com for one vendor). This machine controls all of the pins to the CPU, and specially-written test programs are played onto the pins (with expected results). The clock and voltage are increased until the point of failure, and this determines which bin it makes.

OC Panel It will not be sold along with the RIIIE?

Bummer.. Where can you buy it?

[Tcassius]

@Linuxfan

I do not know. I thought it came with the RIII.

[Linuxfan]

@Linuxfan

I do not know. I thought it came with the RIII.

It seems like its an add on that you buy separately. Didn't come with mine!

[DorkSterr]

I love this motherboard!!!!!!! Got my 980x to 4.00ghz with only 1.287V

Looks like a really nice control panel... You have your overclocking rig in a case?

[Splave]

no no having a case is sacrilegious, I stole the pic
I bench on a mobo box lol

Wow that is so sweet

I was wrestling with that exact same thought, almost went for the lian li case with the red powder coat interior, black outside,
man it would look sweet in that but then got to keep taking it out.... R3E + case = fail

[fmsam]

can anyone shed some light on this plz
I am planning to run 1 crucial C300 6gbs ssd on one of the marvel ports and I wanted to run 2 raptors on 2 of the intel ports ( raid 0) , as the ssd will need achi for trim support and the bios will be set to raid not achi, will this work. ??

any ideas

thanks

JACEK thats my setings for blck 220 - meyb will help

thanks;
all over 212 is a no go - no matter volts, PCI-E This cpu did 224x21 on Giga board.
For higher bclocks - about 227 I need to change qpi to "slow mode" and push pci-e to 110.

[Stelios]

Maybe only some boards are able to push high BCLK . I can't find any other explanation ...

I have tried 4 cpu's that all had high BCLK on EVGA E760 .
One of them is a W3540 which can run at 250 on air.
On Asus it's stuck to 232 .

I'll wait a bit more and if no bios fix this , i'll find another board again .

[ToMeGuN]

Only problem i have had is the bios bug.

[zsamz_]

oh man i sold my rexII and have the rexIII commin
now i gotta pray for high blk board

[donmarkoni]

My prayers are with you.

Just to raise your hopes a little:

It was my first try over 222bclk 2 nights ago. Got 220, raised VTT, got 230, raised VTT, got 240. After that becomes harder, but it was impossible with my old board.

[AlphaTech]

Hey Guys,

Why do I keep seeing people talking about CPU VTT?? I don't see that as a option.. Are you talking about QPI/DRAM

[jacek]

yes, it's QPI/DRAM VOLTAGE.
I start to pray for a new better bios
