Asus Rampage III Extreme - results thread

[famich]

Strange -0860 here works fine @ 4300 on W3520 t 1,304 VC. Tried 0901 at the same settings, only VTT 1,4 and VDIMM 1,696 and Linx went OK, but GTA TBOGT failed after a while-
but , interestingly , I had 9124 flashed , so I went to 0901 without any hassle ....

cheers , guys

Hi guys!
New BIOS to test for the weekend: R3E0009 (7zip) - ALPHA

Flashed, working, saving, new options, testing...

Any idea on what they added or fixed on this one? Thanks for sharing

Didn't test it much, but it seem no worse then 9124/0901, so it's one of the best so far.

[donmarkoni]

Hate to double post, but need this to bring up, if anyone is still here OC'ing. Looks like everybody's away for summer.

This is the last run of my Xeon 3851A257 (at least in my main rig):





It got lapped, ran for the last time and gave way for the younger and stronger brother:

Cool, I have a 3540 with the same batch #. Nice chip, but I didn't know they could go that high on pure clock speed. I may have to see what mine can do in that aspect, I know certainly has a decent IMC. What cooling were you using?

Thanks!
I had to make one more result before swapping for new one. Joined Intel 4.5GHz LinX Stable Club @ XS with it. It's not the highest clock ever, but with UnCore and memory at those speeds, it's kinda good I guess.
CPU and GPU cooled with water in one loop. EK Supreme on both, HW Labs BlackIce GT Stealth 360 Xflow (short name ), HS fans (3x 2800rpm), Tt 500 l/h pump, 3/8" tubes.

I'm on air so 4.3GHz is probably all I could hope for.
