How much pj do you guys put in your socket?? I keep running in to trouble prepping boards. I start to prep just add liquid electrical tape, eraser and pj in the socket then board fires up but wont post. Cpu is getting warm so its getting power but nothing. Have tried every combo of known working components so its got to be the socket. How much is to much and how do I fix the problem??

no such thing as to much in the socket....i seen that thing submerged in pj.runs fine....

dont think that's your problem.

hmmmmm got to boards that stopped posting at that step not sure what else it could be???? ill have to check when I get home from work. thanks jon

with the 4-way calssy if your using anything other than 4 gpu's performance will be lower than a 3-way classy.
However I did snag a sealed box 4-way E762 for $300 at that price it was to good to pass up... This board is 10 times better than my E758 3-way x58 mobo!

So would Single/Dual/Tri SLI 470s be better on a Rampage 3 Extreme. I'ma thinking that's what I want to get rather that an E762. If only 470s could do Quad...


Then again I may not do anything for a while because I may be going to a boarding school this year and next so I would only take a laptop.

how does one loose performance with the E762 over the E760? i thought they were the same board with the exception of the NF200 chips?

Hmmmmmm well I've been using a E760 for a little over 12 months now and it has been a absolute gem to play with......
 
I picked up a 4way (E762) a few weeks ago and there is not much performance difference that is notisable for the average Joe.....BUT !!!!!!
 
When pushing this sucker hard (the E762 4-way) for 2D bench's and a 980x I've seen some improvement so for me and those that like to push, it is an excellent upgrade (plus i can play with 4 way)...... the only other board would be the Gigabyte UD9 (2D benching is better)... but hay I like EVGA......
 
With 3d benching say single or even sli the difference i found (using the same driver), was bearly 300 point in vantage ......but thats just my findings, other can make their own

WOOT WOOT I finally got a chip over 5ghz

nice work regg you gota love hitting a PB

What Chip was it???
 
Edit : ahh i see e5300......nice and a ribbon to boot

congrats reggie!!

Congratz Reggie!
