The ASUS Rampage III Extreme is an Overclockers dream. This board begs to ask how well can you overclock. At the hart of the Rampage III Gene is its the X58 chip set capable of Quad SLI, and Quadfire X the 1366 socket board is capable of Trippe Channel DDR3 and up 24GB of memory capacity

Extreme Tweaker BIOS Settings
Enter the system BIOS by presing Delete on the BIOS splash screen.
Set Tuning mode to Exteme OC
Set AI Overclock tuner to manual
Increase CPU multiplier to 30X
Enable CPU Load-Line Calibration
Increase CPU voltage to 1.35V
Set DRAM bus Voltage to 1.65
Disable CPU Spread Spectrum
Disable PCIE Spread Spectrum
Advanced CPU confuguration
Disable Intel speedStep
Disable Intel C-State Tech
Press F10 save changes and exit, press F8 and boot off of your MemtestX86 disk
wait for atleast 1 full pass of error checking to complete before contunuing to boot windows
if no memory errors found boot to windows and run Prime 95 Torture test select In-place large FFTs
Install Core Temp we do not want the Maximum CPU temperature to exceed 80*C
I recommend an error free pass of Prime 95 for 24hr to ensure system stability
Random Access Memory Overclocking
Now we move into memory overclocking
Set DRAM Timing Control to Auto
Manually change the DRAM clock frequency to the rating of you memory in this case *2133MHz
Also change the DRAM voltage to match the rating of your memory *1.65V
press F10 to save and exit.
Boot into windows and open CPU ID to verify your memory clock speed.
Run a stress testing program like Prime 95 or a quick test like Wprime
To ensure stability I suggest creating a Memtest X86 CD to check for memory errors.
