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).

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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

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.

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...

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...

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.

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...

EDIT : Gone as soon as I posted it seems. prob gone by the time someone reads this but amazon had 3 in stock as of 5 min ago(2 now, mine is on the way). edit the bf3 version is the one in stock.

In order: Intel, Crucial, OCZ

Morning Bump

Just unlocked both of my Sapphire cards; I had to use the command prompt as admin though. But it works great.

Afternoon Bump

Back from work bump

Out the door for work bump.

I just upgraded and am wanting to move my old cards, and the one I forgot I had. Both my heatware and ebay are 'Baboonpkt'; however, I do not sell things very often. I have two Evga GTX 285 SC cards that I have been using in a WC loop. They both will come with the EK(nickel/acetal)...

Nothing copied, just booted up comp.

When I have used corsair ram, It has not failed me.

It allows me to use a nv surround setup

Obviously to try and find hot deals...

Counterstrike CoD4: Modern Warfare

EQ(way too much time on this, caused a massive drop in grades in college), WoW(almost same as EQ, however I put limits on myself, from my previous evercrack addiction), Civ 4(Civ 5 in some ways but it just seems like a dumbed down version of civ). All of these have elicited the 'holy crap...

Currently don't use headphones, using an older Creative Inspire P7800 speaker system.

This will be close estimation as my caliper only goes to 150mm, so I'm using the best ruler I have. External dimensions: H 7' 3/32' W 7' 3/4' Screw distances: Installed but the distance between screws vertically is around 150mm or via ruler 5' 31/32' Horizontally it is around...

no problems with flow at all, I use the xspc res top in leiu of a seperate res, it improves performance of the pump as an added bonus as well.

what pump/s are you using again? the part number you listed is for a radiator. In most cases, one pump should be fine, I have the stackable radiator 2x 320's setup from swiftech running through 2x ek vid blocks going though a mcp355 with a xspc res top without any problems.

I've got one, and have just done a test bootup so far, which worked fine. However, I am putting together two new wc setups for my processor and cards, and with all the overtime I am working this week, It will be a bit before I really get to stress them all.

Regarding the placement of the onboard power and reset buttons, they provide a small card and cable with those buttons and an led readout. I think they figured most people who would be using all the slots on this board would be unable to use the original buttons. Also waiting for the final...

I'd suggest a kit from petra's tech shop myself, not so much a kit, as a preselection of very good parts.

SZ1N bios is out for those who don't check regularly... The following has been updated in SZ1N: -Improved S3 resume when using Turbo Mode -Fixed S3 Resume CL4 Report in E-LEET/CPU-Z -Improved Memory Compatibility -Added MCH Strap for Tweaking Overclock/Performance -Automated Memory...

I received my board yesterday. No locking sata ports on the board, however I am having no problems running my 920 at 4.2ghz 21x200 out of the box with only minor tweaking so far. I am looking forward to what I have after a week or two of playing around with the settings.

I haven't even received my evga x58 board from fedex yet, and am already planning to step up to this after reading the article, hoping the nf200 issues are hammered out by the time this is released.

here ONE TIME

go to bfads.net, click on the adscan button and look there, they don't have it itemized yet apparently.

the ad is @ bfads.net And my experience with these deals is from buying several combo's throughout the past several years from them, and having a ton of heatsinks I don't want lying around.
