    Asus Maximus X Formula and i9-9900K

    No joy, reseated the 9900 and no improvement, it is either a horribly bad chip or bad compatibility. I can't figure out why it barely hits above jedec standards(2666) with looser timings and higher voltage than should be needed(can't get my ram higher than 2800mhz no matter what I try).

    Asus Maximus X Formula and i9-9900K

    I'm currently running this exact combo, but may upgrade to the 390 Dark here shortly once I see a few more reviews on it. It works as long as you have the bios updated; I'm not sure as I'm still playing with it, but I think I have a bum 9900, as the stable overclock on a overkill custom loop is...

    XSPC RayStorm CPU Water Block

    Nice, I received the same 'use thier backplate instead' reply this morning. Didn't see they realized the problem, as I sent a response saying that wouldn't work well due to how the socket is secured. No response from my follow up, but it looks like they know the problem at least. EDIT: Just...

    XSPC RayStorm CPU Water Block

    Still, no reply from xspc for me regarding the block. I'll email them again before I go to sleep in a few hours. EDIT: just sent my second email to xspc @ 0630mst, lets see if they get back to me before I go to work and disappear for a week starting wens/thur.

    Waterblocks for LGA 2011

    not sure what you mean by commando exactly, but the socket cpu retention screws onto the backplates from asus. I guess it would be possible to skip out on the retention device and asus backplate and just use the waterblock and xspc backplate to keep the cpu in the socket, but you would lose...

    Waterblocks for LGA 2011

    Post here when you find out it doesn't work; if possible post some pics so people can understand what I'm talking about as I'm not willing to disassemble my setup for some good pics. The rampage small '1366' backplate is too long as the raystorm backplate is made to sit on top and cover a...

    Waterblocks for LGA 2011

    no, the socket itself needs to be screwed into the rampage backplate, otherwise i'd have done that.

    Waterblocks for LGA 2011

    No problem, I also purchased it with the assumption that it was ready for socket 2011. I'm not sure who is at fault for it not working though, as it looks like it may just be a problem only for the Rampage IV, in which case it would be ASUS. Still no word from XSPC though.

    Waterblocks for LGA 2011

    Sorry in advance for the crappy photos: Photo showing the supplied raystorm backplate: Photo showing the length of the small backplate for the rampage, w/ an ek backplate over it: Photo showing the large rampage backplate, notice the cooling holes. Photo showing the raystorm...

    Waterblocks for LGA 2011

    the 1366/2011 plate for the raystorm is too short to fit over either of the plates on the rampage. Not sure if this is just a rampage problem, but it fits perfectly over my classified 1366 board. The problem is that the rampage backplate is longer and has two additional holes on it to allow...

    Waterblocks for LGA 2011

    Just to note, the raystorm will not work with the rampage iv motherboard due to backplate conflicts. Still have yet to hear back from xspc regarding this.

    XSPC RayStorm CPU Water Block

    I'm just adding in some info for those that are using the search function. As of right now, I'd avoid the raystorm if you have a asus rampage iv. The provided backplate for socket 1366/2011 does not work with the either of the backplates used on the rampage iv. I've contacted xspc and am...
