How long were the delays?

Ordered early September then we told mid October, then early November and finally some of us got them on 5/12. It was a bit of a mess.

This is a different scenario being an important platform release so I do expect to see them shipped this week.
 
EK water blocks available at the end of the month:

EK Water Blocks is also working on a collection of Full Board (and other types of) water blocks for the latest ASUS (Rampage V Extreme), GIGABYTE (GA-X99-SOC Force, GA-X99-Gaming G1, GA-X99-UD7, GA-X99-UD5, ...) and MSI (MSI X99S XPower AC) Intel® X99 Express based motherboards with availability by the end of September 2014. More details will be disclosed in the upcoming weeks via EK Social Media websites.

I was just on to them a while ago. I was told I was first in the queue, even though it was 7th a few days ago. Not sure how that happened.

Anyway, I was told they got 10 of them in today and that mine would ship, but haven't gotten any email yet.

Mine showed up as printed in the queue when I checked my account before it was sent. Emails can come quite late, had them after 19:00 and even much later.

Boom. EMAIL!!!! Thursday cannot get here any sooner.

I can't look at the 5960x on my table any longer with wanting to jab into the rampage iv extreme board I have here and see what happens.

I've got nothing but the memory to look at but don't care as I'm just waiting for a delivery time.

Chaps,

Do any of you RVE owners have a Asus Xonar sound card working?

Setup:
Windows 8.1 64-bit
5960X at stock
780GTX SLI
On board audio disabled
Xonar powered by molex/floppy (power checked with voltmeter).
Drivers install ok, card relays click during initialization and when switching outputs on the STX.
Xonar set to default audio device in windows.

Problem:
No audio output, the Xonar audio center spectrum analyzer stays decidedly flat when playing something in VLC (tried explicitly selecting the Xonar as the output device etc).
foobar2000 won't even start playing if the Xonar is selected as the output device.

Tried all 3 available PCI slots with the 780GTX in PCI-E 3.0 slots 1 and 3.

Any suggestions welcome!

ETA: If I enable it, the on-board sound works ok.

Just finished my build and a Sound Blaster Z card appeared not to be recognised so I've just left the internal sound on for the time being. Also had some strange results with overclocking. Just checked by bios and it's 0403 which make it pre-release, which probably explains some odd results.

Bios 0503 is the first release and 0603 is just out:

So this could be why you are having problems. I'm going to update now.

This board is no good if you can only use the on board audio and you can't even use your PCIE sound card on it.

Please let us know if there is a fix for this or if a newer bios fixes the issue.

If the latest bios doesn't even fix it, then perhaps somebody would be better reporting
this to ASUS support or in their forums in case they don't know about this issue.

Thank you guys.

My Sound Blaster Z is now working perfectly. Software installed without a hitch (recognised immediately card immediately) and now on latest 0603 firmware. Next time I do a system build will be when I'm fully awake and not at 5am. :D

Please let me know what you think of the onboard sound as opposed to the SBZ
Click to expand...

It was ok but nothing special. Sound was rather thin and clinical on my Creative GigaWorks T3 speaker system. The software is not very polished and is a bit fiddly to use.

My SBZ is working now and I've got my full/open sound back again without messing around with software settings. It sounds so much better than onboard and it's what I'm sticking with.
