ASUS Rampage Extreme

[elmor]

I just got this board today so I thought that sharing some results would be appropriate. I will add pics and more results later.

E8400 Q811A (only one in stock at local store)
Rampage Extreme (retail, bios 0301)
A-Data EE PC3-12800 CL7

Cooled by AC Freezer 7 Pro, no additional fans.

Here's what I've managed today:

Further testing including subzero will hopefully be up soon.

update:

VTT: 1.55v
VPLL: 1.55v
VNB: 1.789v

Bandwidth Everest Ultimate 4.50:



3DMark06:



update2:

Dam, great start!

great start. waiting for subzero tests. congrats.

nice work! wouldn't mind seeing it go a bit higher tho

Updated first post with bandwidth and 3d stability. ASUS 8800GTS 512 TOP at stock used for 3DMark06.

Oh, and check out that write bandwidth

[3oh6]

thanks for the update Elmor 630+ PL9 3D stable is very encouraging.

now...will retail samples hit these numbers or are we going to have to be sifting through a half dozen boards to find a decent one?

oh and the read bandwidth is alright, but it has nothing on 790i at much much lower FSB (gotta stir the pot when i can)

I think this board should be about average, check how much VNB I need for that speed OPB said he needed only ~1.5-1.6v for about the same freq/speed.

And on the 790i topic, read is lower by 1-2000mb/s on X48. But X48 is still faster, if you wanna know why, check that memory write speed

yeah, i was just looking at the voltages you guys are running and it is definitely very positive looking.

if we could get 630+ 790i's then write would come up nicely but your definitely right, still can't quite get the Intel chipsets in overall read/write. it is also fun seeing the 1080MHz memory on the RE from over@locker886. i am seriously considering biting the bullet, despite my terrible P5E3-Premium experience. just the thought of a $500 board is crazy...and i fully expect the RE to be $500 up here in Canada, or damn close.

[Eldonko]

Yep, it's not gunna be cheap that's for sure.

[Viss]

Tempting.... Evo does nice FSB as wel but unfortunately only 1/1 here. It better be out soon

[Gautam]

My wallet is already crying out in sheer agony.

Ha ha.... considering going back to the red camp?

[zlojack]

Wow!

That's some serious FSB love right there!

[hiwa]

thnks for sharing

pl for 655 fsb?

pl for 655 fsb?

Auto in bios, think it was at 13. It's very doable with the same settings that I ran 3D and bandwidth tests but no point in tight settings for suicide shot

Hi my friend,
Did we mention this board features 16-phase power and Fujitsu high density ML-3 solid capacitors . If you get a chance pop in a quad and compare max fbs with other boards you might tried before, and see how hot the PWM area gets on the motherboard when you prime a quad +1.5 or +1.6v
Thanks

[Kinc]

Nice start Elmor!

Give tweakit a spin and see how it can maximize your score in 3Dmark 06 by chaning clock speeds for different tests

Updated top post with pics, thanks Marcus.

Yup, the features of this board really live up to it's surname. At 1.5v+ my quad will burn up with my current cpu cooling I'll be away this weekend so might not be able to get some quad results until next week, will try to make it today though.

This board will surely shine in 3DMark06 along with some 4870X2s

[Envydia007]

When is this board coming out? And is it going to be DDR3 only ?

[Viss]

Formula is DDR2, xtreme DDR3

[M.Beier]

Looks very good Elm,
I really hope it isnt the usual ASUS stuff where only a few samples are good, but the entire line will be... I've seen 2 good boards so far...
And nice BW for the given frequency! (can be bursted by 2-300 by a few changes in memset, FYI)

[Hazzan]

nice.....that my next board............. when ready on market ??

No more restart no more VR?hehehehe Nice Ramapage..Cool Heatpipe, maybe looking next my mobo, Ordered

[Trigger5521]

That fusion block is aluminum yes?
