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

How are you getting tRFC 98 spool? Is it 'auto' ? I can choose 90, then it skips to 100...
I also tried very hard to get 2.1ghz with cas 8, but I couldn't get stability, and my mem is already at 1.65v... I know everyone says that I can set my vDDR to vQPI + .47v, but I've been stopping at 1.65v since I haven't seen any actual Intel documentation supporting the theory...

Yea tRFC is on AUTO. If I set it manually it's like you said, 90 then 100.

Also I agree I have not seen any Intel documentation proving that theory. But people seem to follow that rule as if it's fact. I read on another forum where someone (I think Raja) may have explained how the current distribution works between the vQpi and Vdimm rails. I remember after reading though that I decided the rule was legit.

Also, can I suggest that people use thumbnails on the forum instead of posting full width pictures? It makes the forum so annoying to read!!!

My bad . I do that so it's easy for people to see without having to open another tab or window and zooming in to see the details. I honestly don't like posting thumbnails. I'll resize my screenshots and make them a bit smaller.

Yes, Finally the sata option rom has been updated to 10.1.0.1008

This is great news. Finally Asus is on board.

Well not entirely IMO. The Marvell firmware and bios remain the same.

in bios, what is the option "Onboard SATA Controller" in the Advanced/Onboard Device Configuration?

thanks

I believe that option is for the JMicron eSATA controller
