Well i did not do enough reading

, my chip is a 65 nm and the board is a 45nm. i guess i will have to find another one.

Any recommendations of a new board?

Thanks

Hi and welcome to OCN

There´s no problem, Rampage Extreme can run both 45nm and 65nm CPU.

Hello to Everybody here in the Forums...

I got some Problemes with my Setup, its not stable @ 4GHz...

@Ghostleader : Could you please post me some Bios Settings for my Gaming Rig ?

I tried the Settings of your 1. Post of Bios Settings in this Thread with some Modifications, but i cant get it stable...

Do i have something to change on the 2 South Bridge Voltages ?

Because i'm running a RAID 0 on the 2 SpeedingHDD Ports with 2 Velociraptors 150 GB and a RAID 5 on the ICH9R with 4 Seagate Barracudas 1,5 TB ???

How high is the FSB working on that Board ??? With a 45nm Quad ?

Thanks for answers...

Hi and welcome to OCN and the Asus Rampage Extreme Overclocking Guide.

Sorry for the late respons, busy week.

Well, the Rampage Extreme is a bit tricky when one is closing in on busspeed 450 or more with a quad and also picky about 2Gb sticks ram at speed 1600 and above.

I would say the RE is made for dual and 1Gb sticks, specially Micron D9GTR, RE just love it.

Well, back to business, down below is a suggestion for you, it give you busspeed 450, CPU 4,05GHz and ram at 1353 666 24, Twister Moderate and Common Performance Level 8 (tRD8), it should be a good starting point.

You might need two or three step up from default on those SB voltage with you RAID.

My Q9650 max out at busspeed 525 but I need a lot of voltage for that, way up in red figures, I don´t run higher then 450 for 24/7, it need to much voltage above that in my opinion.

Good luck

Checkin in and ready to start over clockin a bit. My specs are in my system profile and my sig has my first progress so far. I don't know where to start really so I will take any guidance you can give me

Ghostleader · 1 Week Ago

@ihackamac2

Well, RE and RIIE are different as night and day, they are so different regarding how to set up in the bios.

The main different between those is that RE have the memory controller in the MCH (NB) and the RIIE have it in the CPU, different technology.

A suggestion, you can start your own Rampage II Extreme Owner Thread so all RIIE owner have a place to meet and help.

Here´s some links for you

I got another Question, do u know, how to get that Quad stable at 500 FSB with 8 Divider ?
Cant get it Stable, wanted to got that stable, in case of my new Ram...

A.S.A.P. · 1 Week Ago

Hi to Everybody here in the Forums

First of all sorry for my poor english, I'll try my best

This is my ring:

Asus Rampage eXtreme (BIOS 1201)
Intel Q9450
XigmaTek HDT-S1283
Super Talen DDR3 1800mhz 4GB (2 x 2gb - 8-8-8-24)
ATI 4870x2
Antec TruePower Quattro 100w
Lian-Li PC-P80
Windows Vista x64

---------

My target: Running the memory at its stock speed, I mean DDR3 1800mhz

For that, I need to run the Q9450 at 450mhz, and that is resulting impossible for me right now.

I don't care to run it at whatever multiplier I need (x6, x7, or x8). The only thing I'd like is to run the memory at 1800mhz

Actually I'm running the Q9450 @ 3.2Ghz (400 x 8) without problems but memory is running at 800mhz

I've read all the thread, and I've tried almost all of yours suggestions with no luck, for example the last one I tried:

And the result is " Boot Image Is Corrupt. The System Cannot Boot

I think the problem is my memory because I can run at 3.2ghz @ 400 x 8 but memory at 800. If I try any other setting (1333, 1500 or 1600) I get BSOD or stop at DET RAM message.

Any help would be much appreciated

THANKS in advance

Sorry for the late respons, I´m very busy.

Well, I don´t have much luck with strap 200 at all and you got it stable at 595, good work.

I can get 600 (E8600) with strap 333 and ram @ 1920C7 and if I compare your settings with mine you can try the following.

Code:

* CPU clock skew             [Delay 100ps - 300ps]
* NB clock skew              [Normal - Delay 100ps]

Ai Clock Twister             [Auto]

Don´t hope to much on get your RE to run 2x2 ram @ 1800, RE is very picky when it comes to 2Gb sticks, I have not yet found any 2Gb sticks that my RE run @ 1800 stable.

To get a quad stable at 500 on the Rampage Extreme is a bit tricky, first you need to apply a lot of voltage and second, you need to get those GTL ref and Clock skews right.

You can try something like the setup below, it will give you 500x8 4,0GHz and ram @ 1600C7 or 8.

As this is a suggestion you need to tune it for your system.

Good luck
