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

[deachus]

Hi guys.

I have read in this thread many people have noticed that ones your near your BCLK limit on the Asus Rampage III Extreme it starts to affect gaming performance, so I was wondering if this is a problem with just this board or is it a problem with Intel X58 chipsets?

I am planning on overclocking my i7 980X to 4.2GHz using a BCLK of 210 and my BCLK limit is 214, so will my gaming performance be affected with a BCLK of 210 or should it be ok as long as I don`t increase my BCLK any futher?

Thanks for responding.

I think your question can only be answered by you. It depends on your MB, CPU, and settings you are using. They are all different. I have heard people say there max blck is lower than other people with the same MB even though their CPU could clock higher on their previous board. You will have to test performance from 200 up to your desired 210 and see if your performance increases or decreases.
