As I understood Kyle's statement on the subject in the article itself, the shipping boards should have the fix. The Rampage II Extreme we had was a couple weeks older than any shipping boards.
Just got a shipping retail Rampage II Extreme from Newegg. It's the same revision 2.01g as you guys reviewed. Any explaination from Asus?
[I was not keen on having to activate my Creative software that came with the X-Fi card... and I am not sure if I could have gotten away with just drivers. Oh, well. Audio quality is fine. I have audio static noise coming through my HDMI cable to my HDTV.. but I think this is a video card issue as I experienced the same issue with my 790i board. All my audio goes through a Yamaha receiver anyways... so not a show stopper. .
They might have made changes but didn't update the PCB revision. I'd have to talk to Kyle to do anything more than just "guess" at this point.
Just curious about the Tri 8800GTX's & the drivers used. Did you have any trouble with them? I see they say th 8800's aren't supported but yet you guys used 3 in your tests lol.
No trouble. I just grabbed whatever was the latest off the website.
Kyle or Dan,
I just built a new rig with this board...I went to plug in my two 300GB velociraptors and the bios hangs trying to identify them...I plugged them into another Motherboard (EVGA 780i) and they are identified and I installed Windows with no issues...I have tried everyhting I can think of...Any ideas would be appreciated...
I am using BIOS 0603
On a side note...I plugged two Raptor drives into the Rampage and they worked fine...
-M
No trouble with my board recognizing a single velociraptor. Might try the 705 bios.
Received my board yesterday and the 2nd ram channel just went busted today. Now I need to send it back to retailer for a replacement.
Anyone noticed this board being picky about the power supply? I've tried two different samples of the BFG 800ES and both caused cold boot issues. Only way to get it to boot in the morning was to cycle the main power switch on the back of the supply. Put in a Corsair HX620 and the board boots fine, hot or cold.
Odd... I have a pair of BFG 800ES PSUs.. one in my 790i setup and the other in my Rampage II Extreme setup.. no issues on either.. Can you elaborate on exactly what is happening when you cold boot?
I would to ask anyone running this board with SLI. Is it possible to SLI with the full sized PCIe slot 1 and 3? I have a PCI X-Fi and would like to slot the X-Fi card in between the 2nd and 3rd PCIe slot.
Or do the cards need to be in slot 1 and 2 respectively to run SLI?
Is there a trick to get the optical audio output to work on the included sound card?
I'm not getting anything using the optical output to my headphones. Regular analog output works from the sound card, and my optical cable tests okay with other sources.

Seeker, how high have you got that 965 clocked?
I seem to be stuck just short of 4.3. Any luck getting stable at higher speeds?
Please post settings for 4.6 stable...
How long did you run prime at that speed?
Here are my settings for 4.4. Until I change my loop this is as far as I go for now.
CPU-4396
CPUv -1.525
BCLK -157
MULTI - 28
DRAMv -1.511
QPI/DRAM 1.48
RAM timinings- 8-8-8-20 1.5v
The funny thing is Real Temp and Asus Probe show very different CPU temps?
Hopefully I will have my H20 problems solved in the next two weeks. However, since I am mainly gaming, anything above 3.8-4.0 doesn't accomplish much. It appears, and I may be wrong, you are GPU limited above that point. I really have not done much with OC'ing the 280's as I have been busy enjoying the eye-candy in 25x16!
