Overclocking with the R2E is more challenging than overclocking with the gigabyte EX58-Extreme!!
It requires waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more voltage than the gigabyte :mad:
Could some one please help me to a guide on how to overclock and understand the BIOS in this mobo?
Using the gigabyte EX58-extreme I had no problem reaching 3.8 with my 920 batch 3841.
The rampage confuses me to hell !!
KSA = Kingom of Saudi Arabia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia, I work there in distribution and communication company.
Have been living there for the past 2 years, very hot and dusty place.
Since you got a thermaltak PSU, and I think you got a toughpower series PSU, I suggest that you avoid the gigabytes mobos, I have the EX58-Extreme and it hates the thermaltake PSUs at least the 1200w and the 1500w.
This mobo seems to have a cold boot issue when coupled with a thermaltake 1200w...
Last night I received my Rampage 2 Extreme to replace the very problematic EX58-Extreme.
I have to admit, I've never licked Asus but this mobo made me see how wrong I was.
I'm not sure what rev. this mobo is but it say rev. 2.xx in the mobo info software.
Now I have to learn the BIOS...
I got a new Sapphire 4870x2 today to replace the dead one and now it is working fine!
Also I got myself a new PSU as the old one some times causes the PC not to boot at all (stays dead after a cold boot) I got a thermaltake 1500w for the price of a thermaltake 1200w!
I tried to get Enermax...
It is Official; the 2nd GPU is dead on the card.
I just hanged up with the Tech. from the retail store and they agreed to replace it with a new one (After 4 days of trying to convince them it was dead).
The new Sapphire comes in a newly designed box and new Avatar rather than the tomb raider...

Thermaltake 1200w PSU (7 months old) Might be cause of a boot up problem for the motherboard sometimes.
Hello,
Recently ( 5 days ago) I’ve been facing problems with my Sapphire 4870X2, if I run any game the PC would lockup and/or a BSOD with errors 0x00000116 or 0X000000EA.
The only way to play the games is that by disabling catalyst A.I. only.
I tried Catalyst 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 and non...
