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

hmmmm....that is something different. In that case:

[cky2k6]

Only thing I can think of is that the intel storage driver somehow switches the controller to raid mode, or it does some form of software raid. In the bios, the drives show up as two separate devices and its certainly set to ahci rather than raid.

Also, my reasoning for installing in ahci mode was due to that I could always install the raid driver in windows, and just enable it in the bios. However, if I do that, it gives the same bsod as it did on my old os install. It works, however, so I'm not too concerned with that.

Does anyone know how many RIVE revisions there are and the differences between them? I have a 1.02.

Think my CPU started to degrade

try this way with your same setting maybe will be help...

shutdown your PC and remove all electrical cable from PSU and your LCD monitor cable to VGA. leaf for while around 1 minute and after that run with normal with your same setting before maybe will be help..I ever have same problem with you I though my chiphave degreed but I using that method my chip back to normal without any problem until now...for run memory 2400 CPU VTT 1.150 - 1.2 Volt and VCCSA 1.1 - 1.150 Volt but all depend your chip

Sadly it did not work:/

I was running 131.6x39 with 1.54 volts, and 1.450 VCCSA, got told that was fine for bench?
OSB, is NOT 24/7 Settings, is only then I bench!

The CPU work fine, but cant get it stabila t 5.133 anymore., fine std ect, "running 4250Mhz at 1.288 24/7.

--> It all started then I putted a 5870 in my PC!, but it cant well be that? will try with my 580 later today.

thats too high VCCSA...just put 1.150 - 1.20 volt should be more than enough..for BCLK 131

It might be that there done it?
all this happen after I putted HD 5870 in my PC.

Im about to buy this motherboard tomorrow (Rampage Formula IV) with a 3820.

Its still a good choice or im better to go with MSI Big Bang 2 or Gigabyte Assassin 2 ?

Thanks in advance

[BigRigDriver]

Asus is a better choice becuase of their continuous driver support & excellent warranty.

Trying out a new SS unit. Not a very good chip, but havng fun anyway.

[Callsign_Vega]

I must be losing my mind. I have RAID set under bios but when I reboot and keep pressing CTR I, nothing happens. Is there certain bios versions or something where raid doesn't work? Also, when you press the bios switch button, what is suppose to happen. When I press the button, nothing happens and bios led 1 stays lit, bios 2 led unlit.

[BigRigDriver]

Shut down the computer then press the bios switch, you should then boot from other bios. If ctr I freezes the mobo then you night have bad raid or bad hardware or prtitions.

Tighten up the ram and go 3Ds

With 0013 it won't even post the Intel RAID Bios even when raid is set in the UEFI. I switched the BIOS over to the original shipped BIOS and Raid BIOS is coming up now. Not sure why it is disabled in 0013.

What exactly is the difference between the four number bios's that Asus puts out and 00xx versions of the BIOS's?

Raid works fine with bios 1005, but I had to load the raid driver off of the disk.

RAID SUCCESS!

I could kiss these guys. Post #2 worked. I am going to hold onto that file for dear life. It is the only thing that worked.

what bios?
F5
set 48x
set 2400 dram freq
save exit

OR
F5
set 48x
set 2400 dram freq
DRAM Timing control 'Load Hynix profile' - yes
save exit

What exactly is the difference between setting the TURBO RATIO to 48 and the CPU RATIO to 48?

Thank you.

I love your clean setup, that looks frickin awesome!
I havent seen connectors for the watercooling like that on the shops I frequent, do you have a product name for them? Would love to buy some like that to clean up my system.

RMA my CPU yesterday, and they will now give me a new lol!
But I know now, nerver over 1.2 VSSA!

That is pretty much exactly what it says to do in my RIVE manual

The UEFI I was using had a bug in it where it prevented the RAID BIOS from launching. I updated to a more recent BIOS and it's working.
