just ordered a rampage extreme, 3820(sidegrade for now, gonna see what ib-e brings) and 16gb Ripjaws Z 2133MHz cas9
after i have got it up and running and had a play will no doubt be seeking your words of wisdom ;)

You cant really go wrong with this board!!! Its the best X79 I have tried I can confidently say 135.2BLK and 5683mhz Vantage GPU.

I am getting an MSI Big Bang so will report on that too. But it has to go some!!! to beat this.

I took another Vantage world record yesterday for single GPU overtaking Kingpin again on this very board.

MSI GTX 680 Lightening @ 2000mhz goodness!!! 5683CPU DDR2500 C8!!!

Those GSKILL are a great choice by the way!!!

Congrats bud and thx :D meant to be painting our lounge at the mo but i'm bleeding my loop! She's gonna kill me, ha ha. Not far off now where i can plug her in.

The 8 and 4 pin cpu power, do they both have to be plugged in??
Oh and what bios to use? Got latest already on a stick.

ok thx, only got the 8 pin wired up at mo, cables in for the 4pin(was a pig tight up to my rad)
anyway system just about air free and had a quick play, sooooo many options :confused:
but just for a quick blast managed this

right ok thx,
managed to do the new 3dmark at just over 5.1GHz was pushing for 5.2 but it corrupted windows 8 and it restored it for me, and lost all drivers, progs etc (only installed it yesterday) i must remember once i'm running properly again to create a restore point!!
 
Hitting a wall at 5084MHz even if i pile the vcore on, nothing. Gets to debug code 40, on windows 8 and for me dosn't bsod just corrupts OS so got no help there. :(
Will get some bios screens.
I'm after a benching profile/suicide run!
The above speed is on 1.5v @59c
39 x 130.35
Ram is around the 2100 mark(not on pc at mo)
 
Gonna try the next multi so i can drop bclk a bit to see if that helps, not really altered many voltages as i don't know what they all do yet, read that your bclk on average tops out about 132 so i may be getting close with the voltages i'm using???
 
managed this, had the raw mhz dram profile(for now) temps are after running cinebench, would not go higher but not got fan rigged up over vrm's at mo will do that later as well as get you some volts readings, so far very happy with my new purchase ;)
just wish windows 8 would give me something to work with instead of error and an upside down smiley face!

oh right ok :)
so for benching purposes what are my max safe voltages?? have took cpu upto 1.56v(5.16GHz) which after running 3d mark got to 61c

so in your opinion whats safe enough do to a quick run, when benching i have got a GT5400 which blows over the vrm's/ram and catches the vrm's on my gfx

cpu?
dram?
pll?
cpu vtt?
cpu vccsa?
 
thx for the above ;)

right trying a 24/7 energy savings on, and ram is on auto which i believe sets 2nd and 3rds to xmp. may they be too tight as can only do 20mins in prime, cpu voltage is already bit high for my speed so i dont think thats the problem, can you have a quick look bud and advise. most digi+ settings are as per your guide

Think the above was 4840MHz.
Sorted benching profile, could do with a bit of tunning but so far so good.
Sorted energy saving general use profile, finaly got offset to work, spent hours on it only to realise you need to be on a flat 100 strap :(
So just need a gaming profile now, ideally running the ram at 2400, so going off the above screen, which 3rd's should i change to gain stability??
Will be running approx 130 bclk.
 
Thx mate will give it a whirl.
This is for my gaming profile not benching, my 24/7 general use is stuck at 4.3ghz with my rams default settings.
I'm aiming for about a 4.8 for gaming and hopefully with ram running around 2.4,
 
below is a screen of what i managed to do, took about 4.5 hours, voltages are as low as they can go, have been adjusting timings 1 by 1 and retesting, currently rock solid. :)
this is my gaming profile and max in 1 sitting is about 2 hours.
what do ya think??? if ya think its ok, i'll post some bios screens in case i have missed anything or can improve, thx bud

;) thx guys, just one thing though, why on the last 2 GFlops of linx has it dropped, out of about 12 tests that is the first time, throttling perhaps?? Test before had tref @ 121, that was fine, tried 107, fail, 115 pass but got the 2 drops??
 
I'll stick a fan on em tomorrow just to see if thats the case, come too think of it, pch fan was on silent mode. Did not see a drop in cpu speed though, so could quite possibly be tref, will also try that, as always thx for your help, never played much with Ram, so i'm still learning, but understanding, slowly!! ;)
