ROG Rampage VI Extreme Encore

[tistou77]

My VRMs never go over 35c with a 4.6Ghz overclock, I don't use the buttons so i don't really care lol

35° in idle or load ?
In load, it's lower than my VRM (R6E) watercooled

For the location of the PCIe, is that it ?
I looked for my "setup", I would have to put sound card or SSD NVMe PCie on the last slot, not really practical and aesthetic for my PC

Under load temps, the VRMs are spread out more reducing heat.

Ok, more VRM, less heating
Thanks for info

48 lane CPU.

More lanes with the CPU, fewer PCIe slots on the motherboard
Certainly, there are M2 slots

Yeah those new CPU have more lanes but I hardly think ill update from my current CPU as its just not worth it.

What good is 48 lanes if you cant use them?
I dunno about power delivery limiting an OC. I get a 9940X to 5Ghz on the R6E and VRMS under a Heat Killer VRM Block...NOT MONOJUNK....never passes 32C fully loaded.
This board just looks like a slightly better designed Omega to me.....what the Omega should have been in the first place.

The 1st model was good but the Omega overclocks better and is more stable due to the improvements made.

you can't pass 400watts due to power design Asus said the Omega is good up to 600w I would say the encore could push even more due to it's extra connector.

Sound like it, but I think that's only half side of the story. I don't think it's possible to crank up the clocks much beyond that anyway what the R6E can handle without a water chiller in the loop, since the heat just cannot escape quick enough from the CPU to the waterblock & water. My WC setup is not the best or efficient, but I have 360mm Monsta + 480mm XT45 rads and I am struggling at 4.5 GHz already at only 1.17 V on 7980XE. Direct-die will help (or a custom IHS), but still temps go easily over 90C on cores when stressing with Prime. I am just one of those guys who uses Prime to test the worst-case scenario and it has worked me good for years so I am going with it, although not only with it. Of course for gaming I could easily do 4.6 already.

I run my 7980XE at 1.23V on 4.6Ghz my CPU isn't a great clocker sadly, I use a custom nickel plated IHS with a sanded die, I only test with realbench to find a stable 8 hour OC, after that I use it in daily usage in programs like VS and UE4 for compiling or cooking, my temps can spike up to 93C but normally say around the 80-85c underload, I run a adaptive voltage of 1.3v with a neg offset to scale it back to 1.23v which wasn't possible on my R6E it would crash but I have no issues on the R6EO, I hate pushing a manual voltage when its only in idle also saves on my power bill , but yeah my loop isn't as good as yours its just a basic setup.

OLED even displays the success or failure of a bios update. Pretty cool:
