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

[minaelromany]

The H50 still surprises me to this day. I got this for my Dads c2 quad and it cut his temps in half under full load. His temps now are almost as good as my loop. I dont know how it will behave on an overclocked i7 system though. I have no experience with the Noctua either so a comparison I can not do. But if you have two fans in a push-pull configuration the H50 seems to impress most who use it, and its quiet. Its not to expensive to try it anyway... I would ask in the Corsair forums and see if anyone has experience with the H50 on the cpu you plan to use.

Good luck

I decided to go with Noctua NH-D14 with some AC MX-3 (I have MX-2 but not enough)

I just hope FrozenCPU with FedEx will deliver them on Wednesday as they said so I can get them on Friday here in Egypt


I've seen a strange thin today

My PC was off all night and when I woke up I started it and got into BIOS only to see CPU temp 77 C !!!!

I remember seeing - 39 C before for the CPU

Clearly a BIOS bug

I have a question :

One of the main reasons that I got the R3E was the PCI-E layout

First I thought it can run @ 16X/16X in Slot 1 / 2 but before getting the board I realized it should run in Slot 1 / 3

I got it with the hope there is a workaround

I only have one HD5870 atm but I do alot of benching with CrossFire and I have a X-Fi XtremeMusic PCI card
and in case I put 2 cards in slot 1 / 3 , the PCI slot will not be available

Why did Asus choose that ?
