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

[Leeghoofd]

Whats going on ?

Anything new on the issue ?

I'm just an end user like you lot, only thing I can do is to pass to the Asus guys

Let's hope they can replicate it too and fix it somehow... Thanks to Bassplayer for persuading me to test it

[3dchipset]

Out of curiousity. What's the latest revision of this board? I just received mine from newegg, and what I believe is the version number on the board, mine says 1.04G. Is that the correct version of the board?

Oh no! Don't bring that up again

It's been discussed in detail but basically, all of them are revision 1.04G and that's the newest, or in other words, only revision.

[3dchipset]

lol! My bad... Thanks for the 411 on that subject mater.

[spoolindsm127]

Not a problem

A bit of advice for you, if you don't want to waste time removing the board in the future, remove the factory heatsink that covers the mosfets, northbridge, and southbridge and replace the TIM. Trust me you'll be glad you did it. Without doing so your temps may reach 100C causing automatic system shut down . You'll find countless threads on the matter if you google it.

Now that I'm using Shin-Etsu G751 my board chills at 42C/45C ICH/IOH

Tnx for testing it.. both of you guys !

Hope it is bios mendable !

[bassplayer]

As do I, Ace. As do I!

A bit more testing to do and we're working with the Asus guys at the moment.

Thomas try to boot from ya fav setting from the bios plz... I had a low score at 227 ( set via turboV ), now I booted from the bios and the score is good... I wonder if it's turboV that messes up something in the bios when eg jumping too fast... Bed time though now



Bad score , note the 228 in CPU-Z and 227 set in turboV. This program mostly jumps, it's hard to adjust 1 clock at a time ( does the same here for my AMD setups )

Boot from bios was successfull, 3 runs in a row...

[bassplayer]

No screens as I'm running late, but booting with 225 seems to have worked. I didn't have time to watch the run finish as I'm in hurry, but it wasn't stuttering. This is an interesting new development. The problem could be in how Asus sets the BCLK through software. I've not seen this happen with other software overclocking utilities.

I agree that is a very interesting development as I too have never seen that issue. Fantastic work and perhaps a major move forward by Leeghoofd in dealing with this issue. Once I get the rest of my parts I will test that out as well.

Bad news. I just saw the score and it got 22.3K. While this is much better than the others runs over 4.0 QPI, it's still much worse (3K) than the runs with it under 4.0.

The processor was at 3.8 instead of 4.0, but the graphics scores are about 2000 less than they should be.

I also opened CPU-Z just now and the frequency is jumping all over the place like it did when I set it via ROG connect. I was really hoping ROG connect was the only issue

[flesheatinvirus]

Is the frequency read out jumping all over or defaulting to stock speed?

weird seems like a throttling issue huh?

Except it goes higher! Not lower.

That's what I noticed from this thread. I actually have the EK full board block as well as the Ek HF CPU block... I'm going full water cooling on this build. :-) Hope to get 4.2GHz stable with a 980x

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

weird I don't have that problem with mine, I just can not find stability with this setup whereas my UD7 was so easy and simple, guess I will have to just wait until there are some cheaper 32nm quads and hex cores for this board as it seems to clock those very well.

[AceBaran]

I wonder if it's turboV that messes up something

For your information, if i have evo and everest running during linx, i error 9/10
i now run linx without everest.. Maybe a sensor thingy ?

[Cornel]

Did you consider filling up BIOS template and posting, instead of those huge pictures?

Yes, i started to, but got late...
The template is missing somthing too?
I guess it's made for other bios versions...

maybe i will update the template and fill in my own today...

It this what you looking for: new template

There were some changes since 0009, and there are some options in 0878 which were available only in that one.

Just downloaded the rog iPhone app to overclock via Bluetooth. I haven't tried it yet, anyone find it's actually more convenient? I can see it being slightly cool but that's about it... Ah well it's just another feature isn't it

[cstkl1]

nevermind found it hmm it was added on itunes on the 9th of september ROG idirect

[Brama]

pls STOP pushing via pn or Thread

Bios 1005 is real i have it installed,when you think i dont tell the truth so think it

in some days i will get 1006 or 1007 so ASUS Germany told me

i release an Bios when i can and when i get the official OK to share it

respect it or leave

Tell us please: why so many secrets on a BIOS that it is now available for everyone on Asus ftp site?



P.S. in BIOS 1005 was removed the support for RoG Asus Xpander that was present in 1004 (F6 module in BIOS package)
