***ASUS Rampage IV Extreme Owners Thread***

[LardArse]

cos turbo mode is automatically disabled and a lower ratio set for you the first time you set a 167 strapped bclk since some people do not know that a higherbclk will need a lower ratio to keep end speed not crazy high.
you just need to go to cpu config menu and set the cpu ratio from there , the same page where you set cstates

Thanks, updated OP

Rampage IV Extreme 1005 BIOS
1. Enhance PCIe 3.0 Support Capability.
2. Enhance DRAM Compatibility.
3. Enhance CPU OC capability.
4. Enable VT-d support for VT-d enabled processor.
5. Speed up S3 resume time

Anyone testing the 1005 bios got improved CPU or DRAM clocks from it???? Or similar clocks at less volts??? I think I may have a go with this one!!!

im diggin it

[hokiealumnus]

Wow, nice chip!

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

Wow, nice chip!

it's begging to be (moar) frozen

WOW really nice chip...

how high you get before you using 1005 Bios ?

Im in the middle of testing it, I know that 5.0Ghz with an earlier bios was taking more voltage then it is now.
I am at 5.125 with only 1.49v.
I cant wait to put this on Phase! Right now I am on the H100
Below is a validation link

What are you using for cooling? just curious because I am going phase in the next day or two on my chip.

[pazza316]

How stable is the 5.125ghz clock Abeeftec??? You have shown no benchmarks or stability tests.

[hokiealumnus]

Considering the 5.6 2-core screenshot I'm not sure stability is his main concern.

He said 5.125 at 1.49. Not 5.6 that was a post by someone else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He has 6 cores and 12 Threads running.

[hokiealumnus]

Whoops, my bad!

x55 but I never tried 2c 2t before 1005 so couldn't really say if it was the bios or not.

I have only ran wprime and Vantage with that. I am trying to see how high I can validate on the H100 then I am putting this on Phase and going to try and beat my 5.6ghz with the UD7 with all the cores running same speed.
once I get its highest validation on the H100 I will try for some stability and see how high I can get it on the H100.
I doubt it would be 100 percent stable at that voltage. But I am shocked it is starting up and running anything with it

I also got my Photobucket account maxed out. And for some reason the uploader will not take a screen shot from my computer directly.


I have a question for someone who has tried it...

When trying to go for the 167 Strap,
I was told with the UD7 to try it by setting the strap and then lowering the Blck to 90.
Well on the RIVE there is no way to set it to 90 like there is a seperate setting on the UD7 for that.
So what would I do? Just lower the Blck to 156 from the 166?

very nice clock loud
my 3960X is able to post at 56X but stuck at win logon screen, under water.
do u think it can boot into windows with extreme cooling like phase change?

yup disable ht then try, if no dice then try cold I am sure you will be able to run at least x55-x56 since you can reset on both of them with out having to power down.

But the overclock doesn't take effect until it kicks into Windows (aparanetly) from what I learned at my LN2 days (been away the past 2 days). My chip will boot at 5.6Ghz but not into Windows...

Best I could manage was 5.4Ghz on LN2 wPrime 1024 stable etc. Unfortunately my captures were all duffs... so I have screenshots but no validation *cries*

Was also on the older BIOS... wish I'd checked and upgraded

update to 1005 and get that sucker cold again, it helps

I don't have a pot and no access to LN2 now

Had I known I would have done this yesterday

I feel your pain, I too have no pot or dewar

Raja I am thinking of trying the Bios you just posted. What Internal PLL voltage should you set??? for better overclocking?? Is the rest of this bios as 1005?? Thanks.

its just an enable/disable option. doesnt help with any cpus tested enabled or disabled but some users keep wanting to try so they can.
some more pcie tuning with re: vs 1005
