Hey guys,
Finally came to the X99 Extreme and setting everything up this weekend, I was told that there is an issue with the Sammy's and boot loader firmnware that requires some fix in the Asus bios. Was tld to ask here / Raja@asus on the asus x99 support thread. See theres lot's of good info here.
My new setup is:
So this is what I bought so far since I couldnt wait any longer and my roommate needed to pay me back:
PSU: EVGA G2-1300
Mobo: Rampage Extreme X99
CPU: Intel 5930k
GPU: 1-3way EVGA Titan SLI (gonna try to sell old ones to get the new Titan)
Cooler: Purchased the Kraken but curious to see if my thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme will work. Also curious where I would put the fan for the Kraken (See case) I have a lot of 120mm fans
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4 32GB(4x8gb)
BLS4K8G4D240FSA 16-16-16-39 @1.2v 2400mhz
seems timings are bad no?Hard Drive Main: 1 Samsung Pro 850 1TB
or 2 Samsung Pro 840 512gb (
Thoughts? If I use 2 840 pro 512 should I raid 0? Love your input)Hard DriveB: x3 WD Red 4TB NAS driveHard DriveC Seagate Barracude 3TB
ST3000DM001
Monitor Before: 4 way Dell U3014 30" Now: 2 30" but may return one and keep one and switch out to a Large format.... Thoughts? I really would like something better than the U3014 maybe the new OLED 65"
SOUND: Creative Omni + AKG 65 annies
is this USB AIO solution better than the onboard???Backup PowerAPC Backup-UPC 1500g
Q] CPU Cooling... if my xeon / 930 could o/c like mad (4.67ghz / 4.4ghz) should I really use this Kraken. If so look at my case below confused on where I would put it...

Q2] Since '99 I have resorted to ergo keyboards due to my wrist anyone use anything better than the 4000 above? Curious with gaming / etc with any other keyboard my wrists kill
meSo thats the system, I am really keen on returning either this ram if I can find a better deal for ram thats not $429. Microcenter had Corsair but that ram was 4 dimms @ 4GB which makes no sense... Who wants 8 dimms to make 32GB!? Their dominator was $499 for 16gb. I am open to G skill too as they always did me rig
Question3 When I had my x58ud5a-rev 2 I saw that tweaktown and other sites had custom bios / reccomendatons on drivers. With ASus should I only use the drivers on the website? I know with Gigabyte they do not update their Windows/Driver pages often so was curous if for example the below would be the driver I would use or if I should google for updates like I used to do.
