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

I tested various parameters for the OC, if I lower the cpu-pll to 1.81v to 1.55v, should I increase the Vcore to be stable

Better to increase the cpu-pll or Vcore?


and does the cpu-pll to 1.55v is not dangerous for a 970?

thanks

The reason for lowering CPU PLL is to not increase vCore. The best is to keep them both low.
I'm testing right now, but it looks to me my CPU "likes" 1.35V CPU PLL the most at 4.5GHz.
But no matter where you set CPU PLL sometimes you just need to increase vCore to stabilize CPU.

Should not be dangerous. I ran my 970 at 1.2V CPU PLL for 2 month and it's fine. If someone did it for longer, should advise.

I got a good laugh for ya



Whoa had no clue there were so many different revisions. I remember when this topic was brought up in the past, we concluded that there was only one known revision (1.04G) that some boards showed as 1.xx or 2.xx in CPU-Z.

Which revision do you have Don?

Also what kind of IOH voltage are you guys using for a 100% stale (100+ Pass) LinX overclock with baseclock at or near 200?

This is a bit off topic but can anyone tell me why does the R3E set the BCLK to 200.45 whereas in some screenshots of other boards (e.g. UD9) you see those boards showing a perfectly even 200.00 baseclock? Something to do with R3E's Digi+Analog VRM? At stock baseclock of 133 it's actually set at 133.50, so I like to use baseclocks where I get a similar frequency. 200 is 200.45 whereas 202 baseclock is 202.50. I have no evidence to support this but it feels better to me to use the more rounded baseclocks. Any thoughts on why the R3E is like this?
