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

[OC Nub]

I am pretty new to XS but i have followed this thread throughout all 1281+.

I think with all the different tweaking and changes, it did corrupt the Win7 on my SSD.
Running LinX/IBT/P95 with the pre-programed 4.2 crazy OC in BIOS can't go. All produce error or BSOD. BIOS 0704 Beta was like getting corruption with some error on POST and asked for a USB.

I had defaulted the BIOS and reinstall win7 on a HDD now with very clean win7. No apps. And then start OC again. Its getting stability back. Playing it patience and safe, i would power off the PSU everytime a BIOS setting is changed and rebooted, to get a totally clean nice POST and startup.

Only problem I am constantly getting is at POST, it report RAM at 4GB rather than 6. Reseat doesn't work. Give the RAM a little more Volts does not help. XMP enabled. After a few cold power cycle, it will come back with 6GB.
To looks like R3E and G.Skill Trident is incompatible in my case.

Welcome to XS
Thanks I will have to try a fresh install to see if it helps.



I understand having spend a lot of time tweaking to get stable or to reach a certain oc for benching, but to have to spend so much time just to try and get it to run "normal" IMO is ing rediculous, especially for the premium price we had to pay. It has a ton of great features for overclocking, I hope it will turn out to be a good board for me in the furture.

Now I promise I will stop whining.
