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

[skuldarin]

You need to follow the thread more closely. This is the third time you're posting and I've had to say that to you. Clearly in my screenshot you can see I'm using only 6GB of my 18GB right now. Not to mention, I stated above the thumbnail '6gb 2.1ghz'.

I never have Gflop problems under 9GB memory in use(so if I have all 18GB in, but specify it to use 9gb ram, I get full GFlops). Since you don't have enough ram, You can't even test to see if you're having the problem or not.

I also can't get my uncore past 3.8GHz, and I normally run it at 3.6GHz. I stated this in one of my posts that you replied to incorrectly previously.

I don't intend to sound mean with this. I'm very irritated with you for offering advice multiple times that has nothing to do with the problems I have. I read your posts and it makes me feel like this:

Whoa now I only offered advice this last post as a guess at what might help. Don't take it to heart. Its just that the speeds you're trying to hit are pretty high. This last time was more of an agreement to the difficulty. I use 12gb of mem with 6 sticks my self and its VERY difficult to get it linx stable, specially with high uncore.

The only real advice I can give is stick with the stock base clock and your mems ratted speed at first and then increase bclk up to where you need it for those speeds you're going for and see what the qpi data link rate is at after starting at 6400. That'll give you a good idea as to what uncore you can use as higher uncore requires higher data link which requires higher qpi voltage. That's all I was getting at... its stupid hard to be linx stable with 12 plus gb mem stable at high speeds with high uncore. Other than that I can only say try swaping mem stick to different dimm slots to see if there's any change for the best regardless of how much mem you use. Just know that having two different sized sticks per chan could cause other uneeded problems due to every otherring stick of ram being double the size which requires double the effert to clock compared to the smaller stick in the same channel.

I'm not tryin to frustrate you, most of what I may have hinted at is only coming from my own frustration trying to do the same thing as you. I do follow your posts and do see what you're doing but I also see your difficulty, most of what'd I had said is only in retrosprect to what you are having problems with. Hell with 6gb of mem on mine I STILL can't get higher then 1900 mem speed. Any higher than about 1940, sticks start droping out regardless of what voltages I use or high much I adjust any timings at all. 12gb and higher is really difficult in general period... and I feel your pain >.<

EDIT: also I do read sig a lot and asume system hardware from that ahead of time of whic I am sorry if I confused you going that route as your sig says system mem of 12gb. Just know those higher uncores are a pain and its more to do with the cpu imc rather than motherboard. And I will say that I don't notice much increase of performance past 3400 uncore. After that its more pure cpu power over anything else that's sanely obtainable.
