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

[Chri$ch]

right, its watercooled

[lowfat]

My uncore always seems pathethically low compared to a lot of you guys. But if I take it a notch higher I am no longer stable. What voltages should I pull up to increase the overclockability of the Uncore? Vtt/QPI? If so I am already @ 1.4, is it safe to take it higher?

[Mydog]

Does anyone know if the board supports Xeon X5680?
If so with which bios?

great job there m8 looks like a killer set up.

I made a quick vid' of mine if you fancy a peak.

my rex3 have a chill coldbug issue
i have speak with asus greece ans says me asus dont offer a replacement for this issue!!!!
nice mobo but the wrong voltage offset goes to make me crazy

Thanks man. Lots of work and lots of $$$. now its time to sit back and enjoy

Thats a nice setup you have there too.

Do you ever see the water level in your res rise when your system is off from being gravity fed by your GPU's?

That is completely normal. It will happen in nearly every water cooling setup.

Nice job Have you enabled the QPI LLC jumper on the board? Your QPI in Everest reads 1.32v, if you enable the jumper it should stop the voltage from dropping.

I haven't messed with any jumpers. I guess I could do that. I had it set to 1.4 and was curious why it was reading so low.

Don't suppose you could tell me how to get a higher stable uncore?

[OC Nub]

I normally just set it to 2x dram freq. but on the rampage III it also worked a notch up for me. I was reading about it, some were saying Dram voltage others said QPI, Im really not sure, but you could lower what you set QPI voltage to in bios by enabling this jumper/switch, its next to the 24pin, just move it to the other position.

was looking around and saw this by eva2000 http://i4memory.com/f83/i7-x58-mem-f...equency-18156/

Temps are bit high for ya IOH and ICH there man, rocking here around 32-35°C max with a 4.2 Ghz GT in the loop... Nice build though, impressive work

Yeah, was wondering if I got all the EK spacers in the right places. Anyhow, not bad temps, will probably look at lowering my voltages over time.

[The Mamal]

I love the look of the black and nickel on the EK and swifty, that is a sweet combo and even sweeter rig!

Thanks. Will post a few more pics of the finished rig when I get time.

When I turn off my system with no pump running, I can open the cap on my bottom/fill res and the water mite raise about a 1/8" to 1/4" at most then I top it off. It doesn't come pooring out like most would think. That res on the bottom also traps any air in the system so it doesn't enter the pump.

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question! Currently I have a gtx 480 in pcie slot 1 and gtx 260 in pcie slot 2 (physx), I would now like to add my second gtx 480 to pcie slot 3. Can I run Sli with my to 480's with the 260 between them? The reason I would like to run this way is make sure my lower 480 is getting clean air from the lower intake on my 800d. Oh I also have a xfi in pcie slot 4.

[lowfat]

Yes you can.

[hodgy1971]

Yes you can.

Thanks mate!

Where is the QPI LLC jumper on the board ????

Left slightly below the 24-pin connector. Next to those status leds that light up during reboot.

If you have max temps to ich/ioh try this.
Push just a little with your finger your vga with direction as in photo and then look your temps in bios or pc probe.
My temps go down at least 10c !!!!

When i increase my BCLK to >220 the performance in gaming degrades.

The system seems stable i can run intel burn test and prime95 without error. But whenever i load games or 3d benchmarks my performance goes down.

Does anyone else have this issue, and have you resolved it?

Thanks-

[Chri$ch]

It can be your CPU or Mainboard. Try with higher NB Voltage or PCIe clock (103-105MHz).

But that is a bug off all X58 Systems, if they´re near the BCLK limit the 3D performance is worse.

[AceBaran]

Does anyone run these on R3E ?

Yes I have the same problem, at 215bclk 3D performance takes a hit but will pass linx. Others have had the same problem, there is no fix for it.
