The Rampage V Extreme Thread

So, it's coming right? 😄

The Deluxe is such a smart board how will the RVE top that?

You getting one?

What are you putting in it? 8 cores or six? PCIe SSD or M2 if its on there? What RAM?

Discuss...



Don't discuss...when it'll be in the shops...why you can't buy one...or any other spoiled brat nonsense...do that here

Nah just kidding...RMAs and the like...I'll just have to be patient and wait till they show up here...and live off your results vicariously 🙂 (thanks for the offer though..true gent!)

You might need to send your son for you anyway 😉

I STRONGLY SUGGEST TO ASUS WORK WITH EKWB AND DESIGN AGAIN MULTI BLOCK FOR RAMPAGE 5 EXTREME SAME AS FOR R4E BE.
People are very satisfied with that and to be honest I didn't saw nicer combination of cooling motherboard/CPU. Because very small number of people bought that, mostly waiting Haswell Xtreme I think it would be OK if EKWB make revision. Now is only question because that block look so cool, and any change can only to destroy that. That is most futuristic design but on nicest possible way.
I can't remember year with so nice boards, X99 E WS is excellent too. I like boards with similar heatsinks, simple and clean.
For future one more thing will be good. Motherboard with absolutely same quality of VRM and number of phases, with same features only with 2 PCIE SLOTs. Not little modest hardware, ATX or Micro, same format, same quality only cheaper board because option for two graphic card x16 slots and 2x PCIE x1 SLOT.
Than people who use most powerful single card can enjoy and OC on same components only 100e cheaper because 2 nice PCIe SLOTs and one secondary as third.

I really didn't like the look of the uniblock, way to blocky.

Usually you only need a VRM block, the PCH doesn't get very hot at all. I'd love it if they release just VRM blocks w/o the PCH block at a lower price instead. On X79 and probably X99 VRM cooling will be key when doing heavy OC, my CPU was throttling in a lot of benchmarks before I got water blocks for my RIVE. Probably because the VRM was running hot.

The issue with X79/99 is that they have DIMM banks on both sides of the cpu, so all the VRM's usually sits just above the cpu cramped in a very tight space = Heat. Z97 usually has VRM's above and to the left of the socket. And 1150 cpu's doesn't draw to much power.

I really like the AIO blocks they saves the pain of running tubing from your CPU to chipset, I used one on my rog impact iv when I had one. This block blocks off the top PCI-e slot release it would be a pain to remove your top GPU when running SLI or even the stock cooler.

Block look fantastic, and I didn't saw many indifferent comments... Most people wish such board again.
Special I say because R4E BE came later and small number of people short time meet such nice stuff.
This board will stay in homes longer time with something like that.
It's very easy to made that again because boards are similar.

Better is Mono, same block to cool chipset - CPU - VRM with only two compression fittings.

Well, the VRM is cooled by a DCu block on the RVE...no thermal pads...can't be bad....a good strong airflow and you might not need watercooling...I have never water cooled the VRM on the RIVE or RIVBE and not had a problem...especially as I have the board on high standoffs and cool the mosfets on the back of the board too...

I didn't really have any problems either, I can't say for sure it was the VRM heat that was my problem.

What I noticed was that I was getting lower cpu scores then I should in vantage for example, @5.2G you should get 52k or more with a 3930k. I was lower than that. I never saw the cpu throttling in any benchmarks. With blocks I'm getting better cpu scores that are much better, I'm getting 52k in vantage at only 5,1Ghz. My board was on a phobya bench with two 120mm fans blowing directly on the VRM.

So I can't say for a fact that VRM heat was the problem, but I think it may have played some part 🙂
