Official Rampage Extreme Review/Overclock/Guide Thread

I have just received my Ramp Ext via city link :) Thanks OcUk


cant set up the board until 15th of September due to house move. using lap top at the moment:(

Edit: An extremely well laid out board, oozes high quality. The mother board is heavy and yet pleasing to the eye. Extremely well packaged. The accessories box is what you would expect with a high end board. Separate from the mother board, all contained in a well presented accessory box.

Will try and post some pics later

There seems to be a huge difference in the BIOS's at the moment, I cannot get 1600Mhz Gskills to even post at 1600Mhz with 0403 , But i'm nearly passing memtest at 1800Mhz with 0404 at the moment using the same settings. I'd flash 0403 to one BIOS chip and 0404 to the other and see which works best.
 
Bottom heatsink is to replace the waterblock on the northbridge if you air cool,not sure about the other one.

EDIT:My boards just arrived thanks ocuk for the free delivery option :)
