Had it for about 2 months now, just now getting into the overclocking thing on i7. Want to get my rig up to 4ghz stable without so much vcore voltage,


It also doesn't help that ASUS uses frequencies instead of multipliers which most tutorials use in their instructions,

I am really liking this mobo.

I have been playing around for a few days now - this thing is bullet proof. YOu really get the impression you can rough it up and it just laughs back at you.

So far I have only worked the CPU and without really trying running 4.2Ghz (200BCLK) on my 930. 1.3v and max temps after 8hrs Prime/20 runs IBT of 69c fully stable.
My gut feeling is this will hit 220 BLCK if needed.

I will post up settings later when I am back home but so far so good.

My friends dad just ordered this today along with a GTX 465 and 6gb's of dominator ram...later on this month he is ordering a i7 950..Sound good? and is this board a beast like its stated to be? he might go SLI later on also

I have this mobo, and for the most part it has been great.

Overclocking is somewhat troublesome though.

Just a heads up!!!!

Be very careful with LAN drivers on this thing. The ones Win 7 installed seemed to cause BSODs galore, use the ones off the driver CD. Not often I ever have to do that but on this occasion it will save you alot of grief.

Also, bios 0603 has just come out dated 9th November and in the changelog "Stability Fixes", not sure what that means exactly.

If anyone experienced has any luck getting to 4Ghz on this board, please share the info because there is just sooooo much you can tweak on this thing.

I am currently on 4.2 Stable on my 930 with RAM at 2000Mhz.

Currently stable and at good temps with 1.344v on the CPU. I have the CPU under a swiftech Apogee XT water block and max temps under Intelburn test of 70c (20 passes)
Absolutely loving this mobo, it seems to handle voltages really well and needs very little tweaking,

Anyone runing SLI can confirm this?

If I had to buy a new MO now I would get the Asus Rampage III Formula.
I'm running Crossfire, get a bit of clearance but nothing major. GPU temps don't suffer too much but I do have a 200mm fan blowing onto them.

Has anyone besides me updated to the latest 0603 bios? If so what do you guys think? I seems that they have removed xtreme phase full power mode and added a CPU level up feature for easy overclocking.

It should'nt reset m8. If you unplug the mains, when you reboot it you should be asked to hit F1, once you do that your old settings should still be there. This is normal. Just Save and Exit and your back to your tweaked settings

I just got this board and wow, what an easy board to overclock, i like it more than the classified e760 i replaced this with. Everything is good except my memory read in everest is a bit low, im using the latest bios 0603 with corsair dominator 1600 C8 6GB kit. Anyone else help confirm this? or is this an isolated case for me? thx.
