suzuki Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) I need some advices regarding this mobo.I am trying to push the uncore/bclk/ram but i don't have so much success in oc-ing this thing. My test system: * CPU – Intel i7 920/ Watercooling * MB – Rampage 3 Black edition /Bios 0602 * VGA – 8800 gt 512 * RAM – 12gb G.Skill TridentX @ 2600 cl 10-12-12 * HDD – Western Digital WD1500HFLS VelociRaptor * PSU – Antec Hcp 1000 * TIM – Arctic Mx4 * AMBIENT - 25* I cannot find a template bios for the damn thing,only for vanilla edition. What works so far is: uncore 4200 @ 1.5v qpi- but not in combination with high blck and high memory bclk -220 boot in windows-but not in combination with the other ram-nothing works as it should I will start making a template and post it here to be more easy to suggest things.

K404 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Is that 3x4GB of RAM? What ICs? Nehalem was better tuned for 2GB sticks and most IMC started to flake around the GHz mark, the IMC load might be too much BCLK scales with PCI-E speed, try 115-120 if possible. I noticed that PCI-E slot 1 allowed pretty crazy PCI-E bus overclocks, but not slot 3 I'm sure there's more, but it's been a while since I used X58.

Guest TheMadDutchDude Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Kenny hit the nail on the head. You need to increase the PCIE frequency. I can get 230 BCLK out of an X58A-OC at 107 MHz but I haven't experimented with anything more just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riska Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 What bios do you use there was one that shamino made and it was great for 980x but not great for bclk.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzuki Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hi guys,i already took out the platform,too many days wasted . I will put it back soon after i test a little other platforms not to be nervous anymore. Pci-e dosn't affect the bclk in my case,from 220 with pci- e 100 it doesn't do bclk 222 not even ifi put 217 pci-e.. Bios is 0602. I didn't try with hypers,i saw better efficiency at others ,in low clock spi with samsung ic so i put these ones straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzz3l Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Are you sure your cpu isn't crap? Tomorrow i can check my BIOS settings to get 245 Bclk as seen in my review over at Awardfabrik: klick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted October 13, 2014 Crew Share Posted October 13, 2014 Slow mode ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzuki Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 My cpu should reach 4700 uncore on air,like on classified e760. Also i can do prime 95 stability test on air at 4600 mhz with 1.37v,if this is crap....i'm Bin Laden. @Leegfold,i didn't try slow mode because it affects spi32m,any stability obtained with slow mode is pointless for me at this moment. I will mount again the platform tomorrow to follow your advices,maybe something will come up with this . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riska Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Is 0602 not the lastest shamino bios? It does not Work with high bclk mine could not do high bclk whit that bios but whit other bioses it did 265+ bclk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzuki Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Seems to be the bios version. I've put 0505 and everything run's smooth with uncore,have to figure out with bclk what settings it likes. Thanks @Riska. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
