    Trade in for rampage iv, or stick with p9x78 deluxe

    It was the Rampage IV extreme. Lga 2011, and the store was actually a Microcenter. I accidentally mistyped my previous board in the title.

    Trade in for rampage iv, or stick with p9x78 deluxe

    Well, I did it. Tore the machine apart and returned the board. After another 4 hours of work, I'm now sitting on a rampage Iv extreme platform. Definitely a beautiful board. My second from the RoG line, and definitely won't be my last.

    Trade in for rampage iv, or stick with p9x78 deluxe

    That's fair. Just the thought of having to move that damn processor again makes me Ill. Haha I still have nightmares of bent pins.

    Nvidia WHQL Driver 266.58

    That would make more sense. Love the name, BTW. ;)

    Nvidia WHQL Driver 266.58

    Why does your 570 suck with WoW? The Tom's Hardware WoW guide shows the 570 raping WoW. I'm running a 580 and it seems to be noticably better than even my 6970. Then again, it's only been one day's testing. I'm in that pins and needles place of waiting for my spontaneous reboot issue to come...

    6870 Performs Poorly While Playing WoW/Watching a Vid

    So, just to verify. This downclocking issue only happens if you're trying to play a video and run a game at the same time? I only ask, because I was going to set my 2D clocks up, but I absolutely never run video in the background when I'm playing something. If I do want to watch a youtube vid or...

    Radeon 6970 and 11.1a

    I've been having the worst time with video cards lately. I initially bought a 580 and kept getting BSOD's -> spontaneous reboot, so I traded it for my 6970 in hopes that the video card was causing the issues. I got everything installed last night and threw on 11.1a from ATI's site. I was...

    ASUS Rampage III Formula

    I'm currently enjoying this very board. It performs great and the compatibility seems to be second to none.

    New build problem

    Ugh... That sounds like fun. Some of these case designers need to put a little more forethought into these designs. Who sandwiches powered wires between a pin cushion and a solid wall? And likewise, who thought it would be quality design to put heavy cables plugged into the roof of a case...

    New build problem

    Me either. I'm going to take the front panel apart tonight and see if I can identify the short. If I can, I'm going to break the hot glue gun out and isolate the broken insulation, then blob the soldered pins on the back on the pcb. That should keep everything nice and insulated. Hopefully, this...

    New build problem

    Okay, after a little digging it turns out that this is a common issue with the HAFX case. They pressed the connector wires between the front panel PCB and the case roof, causing the soldered pins to pierce the wire sheath and causing a short. It has happened on the USB ports as well, but most...

    New build problem

    I've read that the case ports can cause problems from time to time. Just shoddy quality in the wiring. One short is all it takes. I'm not sure about the header on the board, as I don't really have another firewire lead to plug into it, but I have little to no use for the firewire port on the...

    New build problem

    Yes. The header for the firewire on the Rampage III formula is red. As soon as I plug the front panel firewire cable of the HAF X into the header... No more booting.

    New build problem

    Problem solved. I spent the evening working through the board as was previously suggested. The problem turned out to be the firewire port on the motherboard. If I plug the firewire port on the front of my case into it, it causes the failed cold boot and qled lights. While the new power...
