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

Sure if you are setting the same voltage in BIOS that makes sense as the 'real' voltage with no droop will be higher hence higher clocks. I think Spoolin was saying that if you compensate for that droop in BIOS but setting the voltage higher and have 50% LLC and Vtt LLC off is that the result is less electrical noise on each load line and the result of this cleaner power plane is often slightly higher clocks at the same real voltage.

That's exactly what I was getting at. Just needed a engineer level explanation. Thanks

Don't get me wrong Zoson, when I first started overclocking I used 100% CPU LLC and QPI LLC with my 920. I pulled off some nice clocks with it. But when I tried to fine tune my overclocks, and try to lower voltages as much as possible, I saw that not using LLC always allowed me to drop voltage one notch, whether Vcore or QPI. I know the downside is higher voltage at idle, but it's worth it to achieve certain overclocks.

I think those who have not tried should give it a shot. Looking forward to seeing your guys' results.

P.S. Zoson - I wish I can convince everyone out there who buys fans to choose Gentle Typhoons. Have you ever used them before? Great choice I must say, as I use the same myself. I have to say they are by far THE BEST fans I've ever used. Before realizing my 920 was just a high heat leakage chip I went through so many different fans. GTs excel in sound, static pressure, and quality. When you see them in person you can tell they are 'real' fans, what fans are supposed to be. All other fans you have used up until now will seem like toy fans. You'll see .

Very nice indeed! Let's see some Vantage or SPI32M runs (or even LinX if you dare)
