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

UnCore to RAM ratio of 1.5x does make it easier, but in my experience needs more VTT (QPI/DRAM) voltage then >1.5x and tend to show random instability issues. So, try to use at least one more step over the lowest.
And of course, higher UnCore speed = higher memory bandwidth.

Thanks for the info! I will up the UnCore ratio x1 and re-test!

I see you got a grip of things pretty fast, but just take care about voltages/temperature. It's not the same using 1.6V vCore with 45nm compared to 32nm when pushing hard on air/water (what I do )
Don't get offended or something, I don't take you for ignorant (on the contrary), just a friendly advice to not get carried away. There are many dead Gulftowns reported here on XS, but just a few Bloomfields.
May your CPU live long and prosperous.

I've been overclocking for many years! However, it is a completely new game from Core2/AthlonXP days. I feel fairly safe with the volts I'm using right now. I used the info from this thread to set up my BIOS! Very good info.

Just got myself a W3570 Batch# 3846A803

It's a Christmas Eve miracle

EDIT: zoson looking good brother Can't wait till the day comes when I own a hexcore lol
Also are you replying using a mobile phone by any chance? Might explain the double posts..

I got a friend who works retail to sign up for Intel Retail Edge so I could buy the i7 970 for $215!!!! There's still time if you know someone!!!

I'm posting with Chrome... Not sure what's up with the double posts... It usually doesn't do it.

by curiosity, you are how many GFlops with your 970 at this frequency (with LinX)?

82GFlops I have a bunch of services running through, so maybe a little bit more.
