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

[AceBaran]

I don't think it's necessary, but In my case, It gave me better stability in general with plugging in one of the extra 8 pin CPU power, and 1 of the molex for pci-e. I couldn't reach the other one near the 1st PCI-E slot.. :P

Hey Cookie! Tell me about the Lamptron.. i got my eye on one of those >_<

[Utnorris]

Then you googled my name and realized I've been doing this since before xtremesystems existed. Way to do your research.

Your numbers mean nothing to me, and neither do your arguments. Just another koolance fanboy.

I use what works, what's convenient, and what's good. I have no other criteria. If koolance came out with a compelling product, I'd promote it just like any other good piece of hardware.

Oh yeah, and then you googled 'hydraulic quick disconenct' and realized that everyone makes them.

I don't need to use Google to see when someone is being a jerk. I already said I don't stick to any one brand, so I am not sure how that makes me a "fanboy", but obviously you have a strong opinion about Koolance even though you have already stated you don't use them. As far as my numbers, I don't see you posting anything to dispute them, so how about you just run along and find some other place to troll.

Is this thread about Rampage III?
Please keep on topic...

[Utnorris]

Sorry, just hate trolls.

[corpses3]

I'm still on stock bios , will update soon. Using a V6 GT with two Gentle Typhoons 1850.

[fmsam]

The price drop on the 950's looks a bit tempting !!

Hmmmmmm

[systemviper]

I have two of them and I haven't even used one of them yet, but the plexi model is keeping my Q9650 cool

i think the question with you is what don't you have

You're the one who brought up my experience and made a personal attack. And your numbers are just how many blocks you've used. There's no reason to refute anything about that because well. Nobody cares and it doesn't have anything to do with the thread.

The koolance block for the R3E is a piece of crap that's not useful to anyone, unless you're going to spend 10x more for an entirely koolance branded system, so it all fits together, for 10x worse performance.

Look in a mirror UT. You're the troll. I'm not the only one who feels this way about you, or koolance. You provided absolutely no quantitative proof for any of your arguments. I was on topic about the R3E and it's cooling options. You did nothing but flame.

[Leeghoofd]

Could we drop the waterblock debate and continue about what this thread is really about plz...

[Splave]

going to compare 762/rIIIe on ln2 this weekend. will post results.

Anyone notice that with 1005 bios even if the only change you make is bclk it hard restarts sucks with ln2 and cbb

I have 50 gig Vertex 2 on a SATA2 Port Boot OS. and a 1TB eSATA for storage.

I want to get more SDD space as it rocks.

What is up with the SATA3/6GB Ports?

Would it be best to: get another 50 Gig Vertex 2 and set up RAID 0 on the SATA2 port.

Get 1 60 Gig SATA3 drive and put it on the 6Port.

Get 2 60 Gig SATA3 Drives and RAID 0 them on the SATA3 ports.

Get 1 120 Gig SATA3 Drive and up it on the SATA3 port.

What about just the Revo Drive?

Thanks

[fmsam]

Well, I recently changed from 2 C300s raid 0 on the sata 3 over to the sata 2 and now run just 1 C300 64gb non raid on the sata 3 ( boot drive)
So far nothing to complain about throughput non raid on the marvell is very good and as we all no Ich10R is just fine for 2 ssds in raid 0 (remeber no trim when in raid but GC seems to be doing the job)
as for revo drive I dont know too much about these only that I would expect them to be quicker, had a browse through the forums and there are a few ppl very miffed as they have spent a lot of cash and are not getting the performance / ease of installation, they want !!

thats just my opinion others may give different advice

So the 1 C300 on the SATA3 port has better Read rates than the 2 RAID 0 on the SATA2 port yes? That was what I was thinking.

Hey Cookie! Tell me about the Lamptron.. i got my eye on one of those >_<

I think its a great controller, though the one i got QC wasn't that nice, on the knobs, its not glued on well, the rheostat works wonders though! RPM and voltage reading seems alright. I'm running 2 panaflo fans per channel.

Screen doesn't display temperatures I think, not sure though, haven't plugged them in.

Personally, I would've went with the Kaze Master pro 6 channel.

Raid-0 would be better, than single drive on sata3 for sure. :P

The jmicron sata3 doesn't support RAID..

[Cookiesowns]

I was unable to run XMP for Corsair Dominator GT CMT6GX3M3A2000C8. It just dont boot. Any help?

Edit: Bios version 1005

Run them manually. I have the same kit of ram, it runs perfect, DONT USE XMP, It runs the QPI at a too high voltage :P

If you need help, let me know, I'll send you my template.

[Utnorris]

So I haven't seen too many Xeons being used on this board, has anyone used the W3530 (Xeon version of the 930) on this board?

[Scerate]

Hmm what do you think is better to tweak Uncore or Channel RTLs? Cause im sitting perfectly fine here with Uncore @ about 3.4 Ghz using Mem x 2 + 1 but wanted to tweak my Rams a bit

running a X5570 temporarily until my i7 arrives. although at stock settings, but no problems so far ...

use the same ram here! would be interested in your template ...

Yes it does. Gary Key (bingo13) from Asus outlines how you enable Marvell 9128 SATA3 6G raid on Asus Rampage III Extreme

So I haven't seen too many Xeons being used on this board, has anyone used the W3530 (Xeon version of the 930) on this board?

Used Xeon W3540 on R3E and it worked great until replaced with i7 970.
I might even stick it in again when I sell i7 970 while I wait 980X. It is so good for running UnCore@4GHz.

IMO, it's always better to raise UnCore. You get much more bandwidth and it does improve overall speed.

[Johnmark]

Can someone tell me if it is detrimental to run 4 (2GB) sticks of DDR3 RAM as opposed to 3 sticks?

[fmsam]

bingo is talking about raid on the Marvell,
J-Micron is the e-sata controller !!
