still t0o high..for stable clocks.

water or air doesn't remove the heat inside the ihs...

blck scaling: pcie, temp, and vtt..these three affects blcks above 220....

Thanks, i will try and PM him about a template.i can boot at 237 on this chip with the rex3 with slowmode but it kills any 3d benches or gaming.

board acts weird with 3 bloomfield chips, anything above 215 boot in slow motion, text on bios screen posts really slow and the windows load screen does the same. cpuz takes 1 minute to open and also is like slomotion to open. very unstable.

On my ud7 the chip has been running between 4500mhz ht enabled and 4700mhz ht disabled for months, both oc's pass long blend runs and linx along with many other benchmarks and hours of gaming. temps never exceed 70c in linx.

that was max stable right? anything above those...are not stable? if so...


...its like reaching the top...once reaching the top its usually downhill from there...

if you pop that cpu into the gb mobo....i wonder how it would do... the higher the clocks tha faster the degradation usually...

4760ish was max stable no ht, 4620 was max stable with ht enabled but with heavy ac on the rad, but ran it at 4500. wanted to run some 3d at higher mhz for a game, BC2 to try and get my fps up. my 5870's are not working well in bf2 so i am using gtx260's and with smoke/fog and snow in certain spots my fps take a big hit. im sure the chips at its limit, had hoped to be able to get a little higher on this board, but maybe it is better geared towards gulftown.
I have put the chip back in the ud7 to make sure it wasnt the chip going bad but it runs like a champ at the same settings. was even able to lower vcore a couple notches with some tweaking. i just installed the 960, so bclk wont ba an issue but this chip just didnt clock as well as the 920. maybe i am asking to much of these chips but worth a shot.

Thanks for the reply.

Im interested in the 2d booster beta

I saw that over there. Then I thought about you trying it out ;)

hahaha will do, will hit the GF with a tranq dart when I get home so I Get some time to bench. Prepped and ready to go, mounted the f1 on my lunchie

hehehe you might as well get a quickie while she's all roofied up :P :ohcrap:

noted

hmmm i like the idea of the speed booster...thanks

Pretty sure thats the tranquilizer dart. lol

Thats some interesting stuff!

asus is lucky to made the r3e so tweakable...now all they're doing is bios revisions after revisions... i'll wait awhile till they polish it some more

860 was what I was using with my new 980, ln2 mode 1 didnt help :( theres no helping a dud

Also Ive read 3d performance is increased, and 2d performance is decreased when benching vantage and 06

Tried the asus bios update utility, it doesnt work = false marketing
Tried the asus software cpu level up oc tool, it worked, cheeseball multiplier bump to 30 and vcore bump to 1.36, lol, I'm rolling noob dirty on the oc, hahaha.

Asus Xonar cooked, me sad :(

Just sve the BIOS to a file

then direct the ASUS update utility to the file and wola ....

I love it ... but hard to beat the eVGA flash form a CD ....

sucks on the hardware bro ... Posted a stop gap in that thread for ya

anandtech and asus r3e

something worth looking into...

this weekend i might have time to delve into these new bios options..

Hey. I got this RE3.

But I'm really confused with many of the settings on the board, could you gyts help me out a bit? I've only been on phonix bios in my i7 carrier. Mostly EVGA.

Could you tell me what kind of safe voltages I could stay in on air/water and ln2. And what they mean, cause they're different than my EVGA bios settings.


CPU Voltage: no explanation needed
CPU PLL Voltage: What voltage is this, and what will it help my OC for?
QPI/DRAM Core Voltage: I'm very unsure what kind of voltage I could use on this one. Same as CPU VTT in Evga bios?
DRAM Bus Voltage: 1.65 for stock Vdim probably?

IOH=NB voltage, stay around 1.2 -1.3v?
IOH PCIE voltage = nu clue :S

ICH= South Bridge voltage. if I bump this voltage what benefits will I get?
ICH PCIE?


And there is a setting about T-Balance and X-power, Xpower is probably for clockaholics speeds?:D

And what BIOS Should I use for a W3520, 1005?


Best Regards Mr.rusty overclocker.com :)

pll 1.8 for me....some say its stable @ say 1.5v

qpi/dram core voltage.... qpi/dram(is imc) = vtt
dram bus voltage = vdimm

nb voltage = i set to auto..i haven't played with this one yet...prolly helps ... make sure the nb tems are below 60C this makes a lot of difference...

all other voltages i set to auto...

Thanks. what kind of QPI/dram voltage could I use on air/water?

1.4v will suffice for 42xx for nb frequency.....

i say keep it to 1.4v or something...for air... for 45nm..

I always set IOH to 1.4v

IOH PCIE I think = IOH ICH I/O on most other boards... = 1.6- 1.65v for better 3D stability.

I use the same voltages for air/water or DIce...

(R3F, E759, E758, Asrock Extreme, Foxconn Bloodrage... am I missing one???)

only volts i mess with are the v-core and qpi/dram and set the others to stock which should be the lowest setting but the pll goes lower so idk if it helps much havent had time to play with it

but benched 3dm06 on water at 4.6ghz

but going to try to hook up the ss tomorrow idk why i even got this mb XD LOL when i could bench my 980 @ 5.25-5ghz on the ss on my other asus mb

thanksss
