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

[Johnmark]

Just upgraded to the Asus Offical 1207 BIOS and noticed after updating using the BIOS's EzFlash that the old settings in the BIOS where still intact including all my OC Profile information.

I've don't ever recall updating any Asus BIOS without the old information all being reset back to defaults, in the process wiping OC Profiles.

Did anyone else notice this? Anyone have any idea why the old values where still in the BIOS? Thoughts?
P.S. 1207 seems to working great!

TIA

4.3GHz @ 1.25v - very nice especially on the stock cooler, that Prime95 / LinX stable for couple of hours?

Fire4Wire - Also interested in the new BIOS, along with the new firmware, does it still have the tRL settings like BIOS 0003? I certainly hope so.

Prime, Linx, And Interl Burn Test Stable.

yes it did the same for me but i highly recommend redoing your settings and testing them as they will give different results. mine gave different temp and stability results after flashing. also, you should get ahold of the 0003 bios instead as 1207 doesn't have rTL timings in it's memory configuration. 0003 is the same as 1207 with the acception of having rTL timings renewed and also does not choke on intializing video bios.

I like 1207. Gonna put 0003 on bios2 and try it out since everyone seems to like it too! So far 1207 is the best for me.

i think there's something wrong with my mainboard... for the past 2 hours i've finding what's wrong, it doesnt se no more 6 gb, only 4! cpu z and everest says that i've got 3 modules, but bios windows, airflow pro, asus ocs and cpu gadget say's i'm using only 4 gigs!! what tha hell is goin on?! i've update to 1207, no way, the problem still persist..... please guys help me to know what's wrong now, i'm a stock speed on cpu and ram... but WWWWWWWWWHy is telling 4gb nonsense?????

[Zaxis01]

I am now at 4.5ghz 1.35vcore prime stable.

I refuse to push for higher clocks considering my temps.

Once water cooled i will try for 5ghz.

You need to update your Linpack libraries so you are properly stress testing using LinX.

Your Gflops at that speed should be around 75 at least.

[skuldarin]

well... 24 hours and still kickin at 4.509ghz @ 1.40625 vcore, 1.3375v QPI, 155x29 w/ 2954 uncore (1866 @ 7-9-7-24-72 2T w/ 1.73575v)



http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1728694

for now i can't push any further as temps during full load is in low 90's. though it seems nothing i have on my computer is even capable of pulling more than about 45% load and temps haven't gone over 59*c across the board.

it'll pass just about all LinX tests i throw at it but full mem is still showing some errors within the first 10-15 rounds.

My Linx is updated to the latest release. You need to follow the thread, as I commented this only happens when using 'all' memory and 12GB.

How's prime running? Would be surprised if you are getting a few errors in LinX but can pass Prime without any. I only test with full memory with LinX, no point testing it with less as it's too weak and not diagnostic.

Why is your uncore so low? You can gain plenty of performance getting that up to where it should be

Lastly, when you quote voltages, what are your real load voltages as per CPU-Z (vcore) and everest (everything else)? BIOS voltages are not real voltages and are not what your processor is running at.

Could have dropped a stick, tested them individually? If they all check out one by one, try re-seating them and if that doesn't work re-seat the CPU.

Awesome, got some screen shots?

I've got a mem problem here, switched mobo from r2e to r3e and the r3e will not even post with the mem(6GB G.Skill DDR3 PC3-16000 EP PI I used with the r2e. It is on the qvl list, I've even checked it one stick at the time on another machine without any errors. Bios 1005 maybe I should upgrade but to wich one?

1207 seems not too bad.
Avoid 1102.

[p3gaz_001]

Cryptik, i've reseat the cpu, it all work well now thanks mate !!!

[jwmghf]

Hey guys:

I can't locate my original mobo cooler that came with the R3E. I have to rma the board. Does anyone know where I can pick one up? If anyone knows they don't need theirs I would be very happy to purchase it. I'll even ship it back to you once I get my board back. Let me know.

Thanks

[p3gaz_001]

i can give u mine, but i'm in italy ... :|

[Mydog]

i can give u mine, but i'm in italy ... :|

Same here but I'm in Norway

[jwmghf]

How much do you think it would cost to send it to the US, New Jersey?? I will make it worth your while!!

[Zaxis01]

My temps are way too high for stress testing reaching 90 with stock cooler.

When under water i will take pictures while running prime and linx.

[zoson]

Made this second linx ss to show the difference between allocating 8gb vs using the all option with linx:
8GB


All

And yes, my linpack is updated to the latest from intel's site.

[MrTOOSHORT]

My apologies. I didn't see you were running 12gb.

I just didn't want you loading close to 80'C on everyday tasks and hurting your chip.

[p3gaz_001]

well ...... it costs something like 20/25€ here..... i think,,, if u are really interested i can get moar info in my post office

[CryptiK]

Cryptik, i've reseat the cpu, it all work well now thanks mate !!!

No worries mate

[Exupfizzer]

Hopefully they will also update the marvell ROM version and Firmware version in the next beta bios releases to come or next official bios release.

can you share bios 1301

the same thing happens in my R3E + I7 970 @ 4,2Ghz.
i was very disappointed after installing 12GB of memory,
i have same clock as you zozon 21x200blck.
when i run LinX with full load (12Gb) my GFlops Drop to 56/58 dont know why.

[Deboyzfun]

yeah share 1301 !
