The ASUS Rampage V Extreme Thread

Joining this club tomorrow with a 5960X, and 3200 G skill ram. Looking forward to building - apart from draining and rebuilding the loop. Oh well no pain no gain as they say.

Is the latest 802 bios the best to use or earlier bios?

That's going to be a great membership card. :)

802 is fine.

It sure is - excited. Just hope I am lucky this time in the cpu lottery, and hope I get at least a reasonable one. Here's hoping.

Ps will post piccies when it has arrived. ;) ;) :D

Edit - had a delivery today:-

Is there a good OC guide for this board anywhere? I'm not looking for clock ratios and volts. I would like to know what all 4016 bios controls are for and when to use them.

With the latest 802 bios, do we no longer need to keep with the 125 strap for ram over 2400mhz? Read a couple of things on the web that suggest a 100mhz blck is now more stable with higher frequency memory.

Is it important to up the cache when running higher memory?

Any overclocking advice would be appreciated.

It sure does come with fans - but not able to use them as the watercooling tubes get in the way. :(

Also have this problems:-

Seems my no 1 bios is borked - updated to 802, and seemed to be ok, but as I was trying to set up the bios the machine would just shut down.
I have never seen this before. I checked/changed Psu/memtest runs on individual sticks then dual sticks etc, and could not identify the problem.
Bios 2 on 603 bios seems to work ok. Real hassle to swap the board out - as I would have to drain loop etc, etc.

Just built a 5960X system with Asus extreme v board. I then migrated my windows 8.1 Raid 1 to the new board using Macrium reflect

restore to different hardware - all fine except all my 5960X cores in dev manager have a yellow triangle mark - with the following message:-

A driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternative driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32)
Have so far tried updating Intel chipset/ MEI drivers - but still the problem persists - any ideas how I can solve this driver problem?

Have looked in services msc for any Intel service not running - but can't see one - this is driving me nuts.

Anybody got any ideas on this problem?

Ps just found out that the cpu wont go past default 3.0Ghz even though I have set to 4.oGhz - seems the cpu is not fully recognised?????

Sounds like the drivers for the pervious board are still being recognised in Windows. Have you been in control panel and uninstalled all Intel programs?

I decided not to mess around with transferring a raid setup from my Black Edition and did a fresh install on mine.

Thanks again, any idea about my bios issue posted in my post above? Not sure if I should try updating to 802 on the good bios chip or not. Any way of saving the other bios chip or do I have to send the board back????
