Yup, especially as there are changes in the Intel drivers and you don't know what might be left behind.
Man of Honour
Gone very quiet in here. How is everyone doing with their boards?
Soldato
think i have asked before but what differences are people seeing with this board with ivy-e, are your volts any different??? have you managed to push your ram that bit further???
Man of Honour
Random ones caused by my Nvidia drivers/titan whilst running Intelburn. All very odd as it was the latest WHQL ones. Are you having problems?
Had random reboot at first, then solved it, now i';m tweaking DRAM and the problem comes back, seems it has something to do with third timing.
I'm running at extremely tight second/third timing at 2666CL10
Don
My EK blocks are in the post, should have them next week sometime.
Edit: Blimey that was quick, just been delivered.

Are you doing a completely new build?

Man of Honour
Happy new year all!, just a quick note that i managed to get my build done,
RIVBE of course,
4930k @ 4.5 (a little high on volts, 1.4, maybe i can tweak it down after the run in),
Corsair Hydro H110 keeping it below 40c at load mostly, below 28c idle,
64gb (8x8) kingston hyperbeast @ 2133, running at spec on all 8 slots, possibly room to tweak a bit faster, but i want stable 24/7.
(32gb used as ram disk! @ approx 7gbs read/write ),
2 x kingston 240gb ssd in raid 0, giving 900mb read/write,
1 x 2tb tosh data/backup,
1 x Titan
win 8.1
it is a sweet system, fastest i've ever used,

from this review, it seems asus Automatic Overclock did a better job than Manual Overclock in terms of volt and temp? LOL
Man of Honour
Anyone used the OC Panel or is it still in the box like mine?
My motherboard is still in the box along with the OC Panel
OcUK need to send me rad fans and have been waiting for R4BE blocks from EK even before they started to list them. Now its cheaper to buy from OcUK by £20 that should be tempting for others. Has anyone from OcUK come by and said how many they'll get if I decide to cancel that order?
Man of Honour
My motherboard is still in the box along with the OC Panel
The demand will not be that great, why not ask them in here.
Nearly did Cosimo because of the wait but thanks for the suggestion. Decided to see by today if OcUK received any stock and they didn't and neither did the others. However, EK have sent out my block today which is great! Surprised I'm getting them before OcUK, probably because I ordered first
Hope they get theirs soon.Because the seal has already been tested and guaranteed should I let it soak in warm distilled water than taking it apart to deflux thoroughly?
Don
There's no reason to deflux it as flux hasn't been used in making it.

ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition X79 review
ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition X79 review -
ASUS ROG Rampage IV - Once you go black ..
ASUS recently released an update to their Rampage IV series motherboards with a black edition. It's big, fast, black and has tweaking written all over it. The board is just gorgeous and totally pimped out with an OC dock and even stuff like Wireless AC. Today we
review the product armed with a Core i7 4960X (Ivy Bridge-E) processor onto this seriously high-end LGA2011 infrastructure. Can we overclock it? Yes we can! The motherboard is of course powered by the X79 chipset, which received a new boost once
Ivy Bridge-E was released. We will test the Rampage IV Black Edition with an Intel Core i7-4960X (Ivy Bridge-E) which is an update to the true high-end six-core processor series aimed at consumers. A processor that is now smaller, based on 22nm technology
that comes with most of the bells and whistles we have learned to like and love of the initial Ivy Bridge processor generation.
The Rampage IV Black Edition is an E-ATX form factor motherboard based on the Intel LGA 2011 Core i7 infrastructure (Ivy Bridge-E) processors. Armed with eight DIMM sockets it can hold a nice 64GB of DRAM (DDR3 2800MHz+, overclocked) and it
supports up to 4-way graphics card (multi-GPU) setups.
The Rampage IV Black Edition is a whole new product, so do not compare it with the previous model really.
General features:
•Ivy Bridge-E optimized design
•The only ROG with an all-black color-scheme.
•SupremeFX with WIMA and ELNA capacitors, OpAmp headphone amplifier and 120dB SNR.
•Sonic Radar software
•Extreme Engine DIGI+ III (VRM design)
•802.11ac Wi-Fi
•12 SATA [8 SATA 6Gbps]
•8 USB 3.0
•USB BIOS Flashback
•2013 UEFI updates, including Secure Erase, Last Modified Log, Quick Note and ROG Pulse
Obviously being an ASUS motherboard the product comes with an Extreme Engine DIGI+ III voltage-regulator module (VRM) for stable power delivery and benefits from SupremeFX Black, for audio that’s as great as a high-end dedicated sound card. Rampage
IV Black Edition’s Extreme Engine DIGI+ III voltage-regulator module (VRM) provides highly precise and stable power delivery by employing NexFET MOSFETs, 60A (amp) chokes and high-endurance Japanese-made 10K black metallic capacitors. As well
the motherboard’s awesome black-themed heat-sink is exclusively cleverly integrated with the MOSFET area and extends to the input/output (I/O) cover for even better cooling and stability.
Next page please, oh and please do enjoy the mobo sweetness...

I'd be happy if they added more than 2 NATIVE SATA 3.0 ports.
