***Asus Rampage III Extreme Owners Thread***

[zsamz_]

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.

always hope man
what i did notice on my rexII i only got to 227blk stable with my best hypers
my other ram didnt make it

[FatAlbert]

what I understand couple weeks ago only extreme overclocker will get it, so I think asus looks on, for example, hwbot and then sending the panel or your local asus office decide who will get it

you can try

my CPU manage only 230 ive tested with max 4,75v VTT

How do u changed ur QPI Link multiplier? at 230 blck ive got 4150 u have got halfe of it...

A few pix of the EK-FB RE3





hopefully Ill finally get up and running over the w/e

BTW I know the RoG logo is on wrong, its not fixed yet.

[systemviper]

man o man that is just pure pron, I like the way that black cooler looks, oh so sweet!

[dionysus]

Man....I never water cooled any system i ve ever built, but that block makes me rethink, it really is sweet.

[meanmoe]

That's a gorgeous block...

[justin.kerr]

your water block looks better.. yours did not come with a rusty cap screw.

[systemviper]

I am usually a shiny chrome/nickle guy when it comes to water blocks,
but i think that blackie looks like go with the R3E--

QPI slow mode ?

[fmsam]

any one else running a C300, if you didnt know there is a firmware release dated 20 05 2010

http://www.crucial.com/support/firmware.aspx#

addressing trim support and other stuff

woot

Like Leeghoofd said, it is called Slow Mode. The BIOS option is called QPI Data Transfer Rate or something similar. Good luck with your BCLK

I try to contact Asus to have one of this OC panel, but do you a link where I can post my request?? Asus Support site is like a labyrinth.....

Thanx

Nice. You wouldnt happen to have your new load temps with the blocks would you?

My NB/SB get pretty hot on passive cooling approx 60c lol. Then again it is in a TJ07

[KaRLiToS]

I want to reach the highest Bclk possible and maybe reach 4.4 Ghz 24/7
Should I enable Hyper-Threading
Should I enable Load-Line calibration (100%)
Should I enable QPI Load Line Calibration (with the jumper beside the 24 pin atx)
Thanks for your help.

[Splave]

LLC %50 seems to work the best without overvolting
hyperthreads, why not?
BCLK doesnt effect performance
qpi llc will not hurt

Thanx man for your help.
I changed the jumper into the enable position, I dont see any difference under load
Im currently testing my highest bclk frequency (im new to i7) I hope I'll reach at least 220 Mhz.

But I have a question. My CPU voltage is different in all my programs, which one am I suppose to listen? And how come my voltage in CPU-Z Raise from 1.21 to 1.25 under load with 100% Load Line calibration, I thought the voltage was decreasing



Thanks for your help I appreciate

[Splave]

best way is with a multimeter on the side read points of the board I dont trust software

I agree , I was not sure which program was correct.. I read with the multimeterto confirm how accurate the software programs were and so happens that Everest 5.50.. is spot on +/- to the multimeter.. CPUZ is all over the place.

[KaRLiToS]

Ok, another usefull question

What is CPU PLL , I've been looking on google and can't find a decent answer.
Also, how do I know when to raise PLL or lower it.
My Asus Rampage III extreme Default is 1.81 v CPU PLL

Thanks for your help.

Finally got a bit of a chance to fiddle with the board and CPU a little more. I dont know but for me seems QPI disabled is more stable...

You should try and enable Hyper Threading
Normal LLC, for the most part, seems to be fine. But people say its safer with LLC off. Seems as though the Intel chips are quite resilient to vcore spikes (well the info I have come across anyway)

And a big thanks to Splave for his help, you da man!

I reach 220 Mhz BCLK and I can't seem to go higher

multiplier: 12x
bclk: 220
CPU Vcore: 1.20625v
QPI/Dram (VTT): 1.24375
DRAM Bus: 1.537v
PLL: 1.82 v
IOH 1.29v

I can't go higher than 220Mhz BCLK, what should I do to go higher?, my memory is currently at its lowest. I have G Skill 2000 Mhz

I think 220 will be enough. If you use the multi it by 21 its about 4.6Ghz But you can try increasing PCIE etc etc - check prev posts in this thread on increasing BCLK

yeah what kill a watt said pci-e to 113 or so should give some more breathing room. Also set qpi to slow mode, 4ghz +or- a bit seems to be a hard limit when not on cold for the qpi speed.
