I am now running my original Rampage II Extreme mobo with the following:

Core I7 920 @ 4.0ghz prime stable 12 hour's max core temp's 60/60/58/56
Asus Rampage II Extreme Air cooled
MSI GTX 480 @ Stock Speed's Air Cooled
6gb G-Skill 2000MHZ Ram @ 1603MHZ


I am not going to watercool the motherboard because of the fact that I don't need to, because I have a fan blowing directly in to the case because of the graphics card so the fan helps to cool that, until I watercool it at which point I will probably watercool the mobo, as it will only cost a extra £100 for the block's and radiator.

I swapped to the Rampage III Extreme with a Core I7 930 and the 6gb of G-Skill 2000mhz ram, but there was a compat issue apparently according to Aria but I have now had 3 Rampage III Extreme mobo's all with the same problem.

I started this thread so that anyone thinking of buying this board would think otherwise, not to have people question what I do with my pc and all the rest of it no offence intended but if I needed advice or wanted, to have people pick apart what I was saying or am running in my pc then I would have said so.

As I say sorry if I offend anyone by that but I posted this thread to help people not to have people jump down my throat about my system yes, I like to spend money on it and overclock it and get as much out of it as I can when you spend the money I do on a pc you want, the best you can get and if that means that you have to play around with it more than usual so be it.

If you want to black or red rep go ahead or ban me I don't care I was only trying to help people not one person has said thanks for me at least posting about this issue, all that people want to do is moan and slag me off (right word not to sure), about my spending habit's and my pc well fine I will not bother anymore so go ahead and ban or red/black rep all you want not bothered anymore I just won't post any help anymore.
