Rampage V Extreme vs Rampage Extreme 10 diffrences

[From0toHero]

What are the main diffrences between this two Mainboards? Is it worth to change a very very stable system and update to the new version of the rampage?

I just updated from the Rampage V to the new 10th edition. I remember how long it took me to get my 3000mhz ram stable on the Rampage V. It was a battle for sure. Well with this new 10th Edition, I bought some Corsair 3400mhz ram. I went into the bios enable XMP and it booted straight into windows. Ran superPI 32 test and it also passed. Have to say, i'm loving this new board.

Yes but memory speed depend a lot from CPU IMC.
I'm sad because ASUS didn't build so nice and first version, I couldn't wait any more for Black version.
It's obvious better board and looking RVE experience of people many of them complain on different problems.
I can't say that I didn't know, I saw a lot of problems and from beginning I didn't had feeling that she is reliable and stable board,
but I had and CPU and memory and question was 1. Now RVE,
2. some MSI or other high end X99 board or 3. delay X99 completely.
Because before I build X99 I knew that I will go on some more expensive reliable board and I expect to RVE repeat same as R4E.
And I payed i7-5820K so below price and that would be bad decision to gave up from X99.

You are quite right there. But fine tuning the System Agent Voltage to get my DDR4 to be stable at 3000mhz and 100 strap and show all 16Gb was a chore. It would never work at auto voltage. The amount of times I got the BD code on boot was a huge pain. With this board auto voltage, 100 strap, 3400mhz straight out of the box.

After one week with the new RV10, I have to say:

1. The RV10 works at pciex 2.0 after formatting with a TitanP installed on pciex 16x 1.
2. The socket in the RV10 makes my 6950x run hotter with the same parameters of my other RVE.
3. One of the usb 3.1 ports at the back panel (red) stopped working.

I dont know if it is a faulty unit or any RV10 will do the same in my rig. Opened an RMA to exchange the board. Meanwhile, my RVE is again in working flawlessly!!!

😞

I don't know for me these 3 boards with X99 chipset are nicest for me.

1. Rampage V Edition 10TH
2. Rampage V Extreme
3. MSI X99 Titanium

X99 Titanium have better features than RVE because it's newer, and look nice, E-ATX size, real high end board for Intel Xtreme but can't compare with Rampage Black.

Are you sure that your i7-6950X is hotter on RV10TH than RVE?
Maybe you didn't notice before. It's possible to CPU run hotter on different motherboards but difference is maybe 2-3C.

Completely sure cos I tried different stress tests during the week.

As I said, maybe the RV10 was faulty!!!


Forgot to mention that when using flashback the bios led didn't blink, and according to manual it was supposed to. The flash button did blink.

Same on mine...since I'm on a bench I wish the BIOS light did flash...miss that functionality...have to lean over to watch light on rog connect button...

Is this on the RVE 10? I know of one person who had a bad flash using the Flashback method on this board, but he said he recovered his bios by cross flashing with the second bios so I used EZ-Flash within the bios to flash on this board as a precautionary method

There is no option in RV10 bios to copy one bios to another, like in RVE...

The BIOS flash itself went well...just the orange light by the chip didn't do the normal slow to quick flashing while it did it...

Maybe keeping with the black edition thing...or they dont want competition for Aura 😉
