Let's do a head to head with the 980X at 4Ghz and your quad at 4.5... at linX you might beat me, for the rest your going down... if you want to brag with ya LinX screens be my guest, I know where the raw power is at for my needs.

Performance clock for clock this is the better X58 board, if you want to believe it or not.

Again LinX does not show the performance clearly, again proving my point in it's value regarding the gigaflops. Maybe it's a good stress tester but that's really where it all seems to end... only users that have similar systems like Oc nub, using same components, OSses and co can compare...
It really does because I've seen 90+ GFlops with a 980X running at 4GHz+ so you can say what you want but theres something wrong with the board or the BIOS. The problem is situated between memory and the CPU. The CPU can only calculate what it receives and clearly there's some kind of slowdown and the outcome is bad.

Clock for clock you should have better GFlops than my Q9650@4.05GHz that gives me 57+ GFlops. The score should be 1 or 2 GFlops better with a Quad.you get better results than using all available free memory.

Good luck with your Rampage Extreme III. I think that you soon are going to replace it whenever something new is available from the competition.
