Question About Asus Rampage 3 Extreme

Hi Guys

I am waiting for my Asus Rampage 3 Extreme to arrive, I have brought the Corsair Dominator RAM.... Wondered if the Noctua NH-D14 will fit.... as the RAM has Cooling Fins on the top....

Anyone use this config????

Cheers

Hay
 
I think it should, I seem to remember seeing it fit just about over the RAM fins but I can't be sure, I would check around to see first.
 
A quick google brought up some interesting results...

Here's a direct quote from Noctua's FAQ

Can I use Corair Dominator RAM with the NH-D14?

The NH-D14 is a large cooler that extends over the RAM slots on most mainboards. While DDR2 Corsair Dominator don't fit underneath the cooler, DDR3 Corsair Dominator do fit when the removable top heatsink is taken off as shown below.

Please also note that the NF-P12 fan can be moved upwards or taken off in order to improve RAM compatibility as shown here

It fits fine hayles, you have to run the ram in the red slot anyways, and when you mount the fan just fit it further up ;)

Ive got both here and use them both as a part of my bench rig when reviewing ;)
 
Another quick question, with the R3E can you mount GFX cards in PCI-E 1 & 3, does the SLI bridge that comes with the Mobo long enough?
 
Hi there TTL

My RE3 will be with me tomorow, I have a question about the 6gb sata ports, I have seen some conflicting reports about setting a raid 0 array using these ports when using ssd's,

have you tried this yet

( Ive asked a similar question at the u tube site)

cheers in advance

Rick

edit:

hmmm sorry maybe I should have started another thread !!
 
ok well cheers 4 that,

er maybe Ill let you know ( if i can run to 2 6gbs ssds !!!!! somhow i think not right now ........ she is bound to find out)

I think b4 I go that extreme Ill just get the board stable and wait 4 some decent bios revisions.

Rick

sorry hayley m8 I seem to have hi jacked your thread
 
No prob m8 was open to anyone with an R3E question....

I have another question, I have read on may sites that the bios needs updating out the box, is this true????
 
Let me know what bios it came with as Im sure the Asus site hasnt been updated yet. Ive got a few versions and Ill sort you out if I can. The bios wasnt great but Asus did say they were trying to get it spot on. The board just seemed to need more volts/tweaking.
