Rampage IV Extreme Information

[eddieg]

Here again i am spending all day trying to get this board to function. Does Anyone, will be greatly appreciated, have suggestions for me to get my pcie#1 back?
I've been babying it back working for a little while and can't get it to stay. reseat, reseat, and reseat until my arms are tired. After many long hours and process still no go. Both 0018 and 1103 bioses. All cpu pins have been throughly checked and re-checked(magnified) None burnt, bent or mis-aligned. Very small amount of conformal coating brushed under hold down bracket and around pcie#1 slot traces seemed to fix for a few days. On air cooling. No Oc past 4.2 @1.3v.
gen1,2,3 tried with 680, 460, 580...no signal. red light in vga post.
All other components have been checked and no issues.

No cold slow or ln2 jumper set wrong.

Addl. > just tried to add 2 more sticks of same ram and get halt code 67 or A3

This is my 4th ROG and I really like them. however this one is a fight

Thanks for any suggestions from people who have been here!!

first , see if possible to try cpu in another MB (maybe not r4e) and see if 1st slot works. or try another cpu in r4e and see if 1st slot works

or rma

Can I get some help running 4x2gb Hyper on this board.
8-8-8-24 should be possible at 2400? or atleast 2133?
I load hyper profile and switch primary timings to 8-8-8-27-110-2t but still no luck booting 2133 at 100 strap.

Vtt 1.2 - 1.35
SA 1.1 - 1.40
PLL 1.6 - 2.1
VDDR 1.68 - 1.85

It runs nicely at 2200+ on Maximus IV E 1.75v 7-7-7
Perhaps I need to loosen some form of secondary timing?

[Shammy]

max out the third timings perhaps but thatll hurt

[Splave]

thanks I will try that

I finally got 4x2gb DomGT's running 2133 8-9-8-24-88 1T. It would boot to windows but the board would power off at random. Set DRAM CH AB/CD Power Phase Control to Extreme and it seemed to stop the crashing.
SA was 1.3-1.35ish if I remember correct.

Didn't have many problems when I was running 4x2 Hyper. 2400-2500 8-8-8-21 wasn't particularly hard depending on the bench, took higher volts that it would have on bloomfield, ~1.775v. Had a few times where it would refuses to boot with the 2400 divider unless I had the sticks in a specific slot which meant a lot of swapping around until I figured it out. Didn't have much luck with C7, 7-8-7 and 7-7-7 were pretty similar and pretty much stopped around 2133. Just hyper profile and reasonable volts on everything else.

Went out today and bought another 3930k. I now have signal from the #1 pcie slot, only 8x though with either bios(0018/1103). At least I have signal to monitor.

How do I get 16x ?

thanks

hy shammy
i got the same problem like others here
at the last session board works fine the hole day there was no condensate on it or other things that wouldn't be good for it
at the next day i tried to get it working i played around for about 3 hours but no way to get it stable @stock clocks

two weeks later on saturday i take it fo an other try but no way when i press the start button all voltage leds lighting up and no boot also i can't switch the bios
so i turned the system off and switched the bios chips
then i pressed the start button and i saw updating iROG
after it board works fine again with the secound bios chip in the first sockel
i also tried the other chip but no way to get it working
so i booted up into windows on stock setting and configured the system for benching
than i shutted down the sys and let it stay ready for benching
but when i will start it yesterday i got the same problem as before on the first bios chip
leds showing me VGA and V1core and board stops at bootcode 70 tried it with 5 different gpus no way to come into bios or os or whatever

check around irog chips for abnormalies, dirt/crap / solder detachments , specially the thin close feet of chips
