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

Maybe 0878 is not better, but definitely more interesting with some added memory options. Maybe slightly (almost unnoticeable) higher memory bandwidth. Didn't test it enough, so can't say much more.

ok, thank you for your feedback

Got it up and running finely the Corsair memory 2000MHz anyhow XMP detects it and sets it to the correct specs.

From what a few people told me 1.65 is fine?


Question the 6G sata wires those go to any sata hardrive, I plugged them in and they weren't detected so I switched, anyhow what the deal with them?

^^1.65 VDimm or 1.65QPI/VTT? What is your QPI set to when you use XMP? I think thats what zsams is referring to.

I forgot to mention this but when I replaced the stock heatsink on the board yesterday I noticed the heatsink totally skips rows of mosfets and the EK block covers them they must not be the important mosfets :p

Am thinking of getting 2 Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB and raiding them in sata3 6.0 is that possible with this board! Or can it only raid in sata 2!

[bassplayer]

Do you guys know of any settings I need to change (or possibly jumpers) to boot with a PCI video card? I'm setting up for some high PCI-E runs but I can't get it to boot with the 440 FX or whatever the hell it is. The seller confirmed that it worked and it starts, but the board hangs on VGA.

Any suggestions?

running with an old matrox pci vga card my tests right now. there were no special settings required. everything at default boots without any problems.
so yes it should be possible. may be just some sort of incompatibility between the r3e and your card. try another pci vga card ...

Marvell Sata 6Gbps RAID is really weak. Avoid like the plague. You can still use ICH10r for raid and you will be better off, other than that you are stuck with buying a PCI-E controller.

There is picture and explanation. If it's like that, then you are OK.

Hi all, thinking of buying a RE3 when I shortly make the move to socket 1366. If I have EVGA gpu's will there be any performance issues running them on an Asus board? Stupid question I'm sure but I've never really had multiple brands in this area.

No issues, don't worry.

Yeah, big black ones are chokes and small silver ones are MOSFETS.
