P35 to X58 was the golden era of Motherboards, where you could get good overclocking motherboards even if not buying premium... and when you bought premium you got the best insanity like the Rampage Extreme. Thanks again der8auer.
I have a Rampage II Gene. Just ordered an X5670 online for $20 to breathe some new life into the old but glorious platform that it is. 6 old cores is still 6 cores..😅 It will go nicely alongside my 3930K and 8600K.
Yeah, I got the X58 Rampage III Black edition running together with i7 980X and 12gb ram, been my main rig since 2011. But thanks to AMD I think its time to retire my main rig to a windows 7 nostalgia machine.
Really, new motherboards need to get back the old badass design, with a lot of coolers and heatpipes on the VRM section and on the chipset. This is one of the proof that a motherboard can be gorgeous without RGB lightning
Str1kernaut as he explained in the video - back in the day Memory controllers were integrated in north-bridges and connected to pcie slots - that’s why it required such a sophisticated cooling - ram sucks quite a bit o power especially when overclocked and ESPECIALLY DDR2 (I know he used ddr3 but I assume we are talking mobos in general). But yeah to be honest - I miss the days when manufacturers really cared about mobo design... today it’s more or less just rgb and fancy color traces on pcb - and also intel has big impact by releasing new chipset every year...
@@betrayedpredator8826 Actually in these days they drew much more power, my Intel x38 chipset had a td-p of 17w if I remember correctly. This grew a lot with oc.
I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this, but thank you, Roman, for taking time to do two videos so those of us who only speak English can enjoy your content as well.
Great history, I had the evga n680i board back in the day, i could push my q6600 cpu to 4ghz on watercooling back then, after that the cpu was not getting better. Good old days.
Of course you mean the 300A (the 300 was older model with external L2 cache which prevented raising FSB to 100 MHz). I was running two of those puppies at the usual 450 MHz on an ABIT BP6, true SMP almost 20 years ago, at prices so low even I could get my hands on one, what a beast that was! (except the stupid HighPoint controller)
Couldn't agree more, easily more favourite board of all time. Naturally need a collection of them for HWBot but I feel like I probably don't need all 8 of mine :D
Absolutely incredible one, I really wish I was inside PCMR community back then to experience this kind of hardware. Considering amount of additional hardware, this one easily blows every today motherboard.
I remember building my very first pc with a rampage formula and q9450 back in 2008. I don't know why I didn't buy this one, because I remember removing my north bridge heatsink to water cool it with the cpu. Thanks for the nostalgic moment!
This has got me feeling very nostalgic. I had a Asus Rampage Formula which is basically the same motherboard as this just without the water cooling and DDR2 memory. I bought it with a Q9650 and I used it as my main PC right up until 2014. After that I used it as my second PC until 2018. I had the Q9650 at 4GHz that whole time. I remember it being a colossal performance increase from my previous 3.2Ghz Pentium 4. All my frame rates doubled at least and that was with the same graphics card (An Nvidia 7950 GX2 at the time). The 4790k I replaced it with just didn't feel like as big of an upgrade. Even while I had the i7, I still liked to install new games on the Q9650 and see how they ran. The last game I played on it was Doom 2016, and it ran it like a champ. It was really struggling to keep up in DirectX games though. Tomb Raider 2013 ran beautifully but rise of the tomb raider was just too much for it. Amazing PC that I'll never forget.
Q6600! My first quad core, upgrading from a core 2 duo to it made a huge difference in World of Warcraft, Crysis and it even held up great in Battlefield 3.
I remember when, for example, the asus striker extreme was released, and all ROG boards, design was so nice that still wonderful and more beautiful than a lot of motherboards now a days, sadly i never had money to buy one on those days. So great memories with s775
Agreed -Overclocking (with full water-cooling) and reliability was superb! However, the soundcard was rather poor (very noisy). I used mine as my main Test Rig for nearly 10 years and it only died a few weeks ago (VRM failure?). It even ran happily with twin SLI RTX 2080Ti!
I have had quite a few ASUS Rampage (formula) X38/X48 motherboards. It needed a lot of North bridge voltage to get stability with agressive memory timings and performance levels. Later I went back to DFI, the DFI Lanparty DK P45-T2RS Plus. Intel's P45 chipset was far suprior to the X38/X48 chipsets...
I had this cpu/motherboard combo. You've made me want to resurrect it. I have a couple LCD screens and fans that fit this board. I had a few striker extreme boards and asus sent me the rampage extreme as a replacement after the 4th striker board. One of their plastic fittings on the rampage busted and fried my board / gpu. They replaced it for free way out of warranty. I LOVE Asus customer support. I had a custom loop and ran this processor at 3.6ghz and it got BLISTERING hot. Processor lives, motherboard doesn't. Would love to resurrect this thing.
The fun of FSB, my Q6600 could not clock a hair over 2.5GHz, so instead ramped the FSB all the way up to 400MHz with a x6 multiplier, combined with some 800MHz ram with some good timings, and it felt much faster than stock ratio and FSB
Heh - great video! This brings back memories. Please do another video with i7 920 and X58 motherboards. Thanks I am 33 and my first pc build was a 486. It even had a turbo button LOL, I don’t think it did anything.
LN2 that boi and see how high it will go.😂 I remember cranking my E6750 up from 2.66 to 3.6 or something disgusting like that. Overclocking was more fun when you had to get a feel for it and balance all of the different clocks and voltages in the system.
That's the legend! You can squeeze even decent performance with 45nm cpu (QX9650), the P45 boards has ICH10 southbridge, 45nm chipset and a little more overclocking capabilities especially of Xeon 5XXX series.
775. I had the eVGA nVIDIA 680i SLIi rev.2 worth motherboard using the Vdroop pencil mod. 8GB's of OCZ SLI ready 1200MHz DDR2 ram and of course the Q6600 GO OC'ed to 3.6GHz with the ZALAMN 9700 all copper cooler, plus 2 eVGA 512MB 8800GT's in SLI in a NZXT Apollo case with a NZXT 600watt PSU and yes it did run CRYSIS. Of course i was pissed when intel tried to buy the nVIDIA SLI chipset and of course nVIDIA didn't sell. So intel cut 45nm support on the 680i chipset. When it was plainly capable of running the yorkfeild 9series quads.
My first PC i ever had had this specific mobo with a Core 2 Quad Q9550 and a custom loop in it, sadly i had to sell it because of money reasons but i plan on building a PC with this mobo again, just for the old times sake
I still have it, it was my first motherboard! 😉 Bought for 180€ new, now it's hard to find and cost about 300€ ^^ Also have Rampage Extreme II and IV ^^
30 years already! I still got the P5K Premium which was their 18th-anniversary special edition board. Oh, and 5:14 it's on 90 nm, not 130 ;) And why not use the full CPU multi? Q6600 should do 3.6 GHz at 1.45 no problem, especially on water
I always seemed to stick to the Rampage Formula boards during that era, IIRC. I also seem to remember the P45 Maximus being a big disappointment for memory OC.
I always wanted to know how much the FSB bottlenecked Core2Quad CPUs specifically and if it was possible to remove it by overclocking the FSB to some higher level. I got my Asus PQ5(P45) to a stable 475 FSB with x8 multi on my old Q6700, but i never run that test specifically. One thing i've noticed is that after passing a certain level of OC around 3.5 GHz the system would vastly faster for some unknown reason. Cool stuff.
I recall noticing a small difference, even with CPU/RAM straps dropped to compensate. The C2Qs being a pair of C2Ds sharing a socket and bouncing traffic off the NB, and all. I'm surprised that C2Q architecture worked at all, tbh. Seems pretty jank.😂
my best asus thing was buying a P5E mobo and noticing the logo on the board between the PCI-e slots was a colour matched sticker......... peeled it off and it was actually a re badged Maximus Formula board, just missing 4 fan headers and the reset start buttons :)
I have a Q9550 at 3.4GHz (400fsb + high "performance level" on the memory controller) on a Asus P5K wih 8GB of DDR2 800MHZ CL6 RAM and it still runs stuff quite smoothly. It's quite faster and cooler than a Q6600 (the one i had before), it allowed me to clock it higher (i was running the Q6600 at 3ghz because at 3.6 the tems were out of my comfort zone). PD : If only mobo were designed like that nowadays.....
I had the x58 model after this one when they first had that digital screen with it. Ahh good times. I had an i7 920 I think and 8gb Corsair dominator with a 690 (bought super cheap at the time)
I still have the same board, working, in good condition. I was wondering if this was rare and how much one of these costs in a good form, without a box, so I could sell it. I couldn't find any references to this board anyware on the internet.
as i know, that supreme fx sound card works only on this board and only in first pcie x1 wiring in this port and on the sound card is different from standart pcie slots
I do miss the look of the 775 boards....... My Gigabyte EP45-Extreme was a beautiful liking board with all the copper....... if you've never seen one....Google it.
I have LCD poster in same condition :), but I have only DDR2 Maximus Formula. I gave it up for HWBOT with it, cause I can not got more than 470 MHz FSB :(. Maybe issue of CPU (Q8200) or sample of board :( Or do you have any tip?
Hey @der8aur - i beat you on the quiz!! Got them all right. You know why? Following Buildzoid's comments, and the things he mentions. But my speed was too slow @ 1m20s (making 46th place overall)
How do the LGA 771 to LGA 775 xeons how do they have SSEE 4.1 but the main stream chips dont ?? Like a Xeon E5430 is like a C2Q Q9400 i think. Maybe you could check out Xeon 771 TO 775 modding ?
No one would ever use that water block. It was mixed metals with non anodized aluminum. They included the heat pipe cooler since the block would be suicide for a stable system. Ek and swiftech both sold copper blocks for it.
I still have its twin the maximus 2 formula with a QX9650. My friend has my old P5Q-E which has a copper fin vrm heatsink and heatpipes with a Q6600 in it, very cool systems. I also have a crosshair1 with a phenom x4 9550 and a crosshair5 with an fx8320. Not ROG but also a gigabyte 990fxa-UD7 with 4-way gtx480's, Finally a PentiumD965 EE but not in a motherboard because its so bad!
I notice RAM Corsair DDR3 4GB modules, 2666 MHz on the motherboard. I am interested in whether it is possible to have this dual-rank module at this speed. I have an ASUS P5E3 Deluxe X38 and it can run 4x4 GB DDR3, but only if it's dual-rank typ memory. I have also heard the same about the X-48 which is a slightly improved X38 chipset. I haven't found anything faster than dual-rank memory that goes over 2133 MHz. It is a older model from yours of the 4 GB Corsair module. So is this dual-rank or single-rank RAM on your motherboard?

Come on! Q6600 is beast known for 50%+ overclock. It has very linear voltage/frequency curve and I’m sure that if you pumped it with 1.55V it could have run 3.9G easily!
@@Teksers hmm...thats one hell of a board; and since were talking xeons which are binned pretty nicely id say thats one unlucky draw in the lottery my dude... that xeon can do 4.25 almost stock on air on at least 3 high-end P45 boards (tested)...and cool as ice too
It definitely was for DDR2 on P35, but maybe not X48? And I didn't know DDR3-2666 was a thing either, especially back then. Highest I had seen was a 2400 kit in the X79 days.

Not ROG but also a gigabyte 990fxa-UD7 with 4-way gtx480's, Finally a PentiumD965 EE but not in a motherboard because its so bad!
Roman, is it your absolute favorite feature of this board? x4 haha ;)
I hope you make a video on the sr2, thats one epic board
very nice............BUT CAN IT RUN CRYSIS?
The msi x470 gaming plus doesn't support sli because they saved money by not paying for sli licensing.
If Asus don't send him a brand new LCD Poster, they're mugs.
8:00 "ICS9 lalala" lol :)
Is it normal that some of this board may be shown having X38 chipset in CPU-Z?
The motherboard for my q9650 just died then TH-cam recommended this vid. Pretty shady Google
Should do an episode about your car.
I notice RAM Corsair DDR3 4GB modules, 2666 MHz on the motherboard. I am interested in whether it is possible to have this dual-rank module at this speed. I have an ASUS P5E3 Deluxe X38 and it can run 4x4 GB DDR3, but only if it's dual-rank typ memory. I have also heard the same about the X-48 which is a slightly improved X38 chipset. I haven't found anything faster than dual-rank memory that goes over 2133 MHz. It is a older model from yours of the 4 GB Corsair module. So is this dual-rank or single-rank RAM on your motherboard?
where can i buy this board? i need s775 overclocking board for my q9505
The Rampage Extreme is actually not that great for 45nm Core 2 Quads. A EP45-UD3P for example will clock better for this specific purpose :D
@@der8auer hey i think i used to have that exact board, with Q9450, 4GB of 1200mhz OCZ ram and GTX 295 :) man those were the good old days of cool hardware
@@der8auer right now i am using p5q pro turbo, that got me up to 3.8ghz on air cooling, could use my 360rad for 4ghz push, i know this cpu has it in it :D still at 1.35v and no crashes running prime95 over 36 hours, max temps are 70c
@@Haleskinn you should get a 45nm E0 stepping quad core xeon, they need to be modded a little bit, but you can get them pre-modded on ebay/aliexpress, they are very well binned and go beyond 4 GHz with good cooling
@@der8auer I have that board. Ep45-ud3p with a Q9650 overclocked to 4ghz with 1.4vcore. can't go any higher probably due to the memory I am using for this cpu
10:45 it shows DDR3 am I dumb I thought X58 was the first platform with DDR3???
how does the q6600 do in vulkan games? just out of curiosity
Im using Q9500 but with gigabyte ga-g31m-es2l, Im looking for this Rampage Extreme or Asus Maximus ii Fomula but they too expensive in Malaysia ( T A T )
Come on! Q6600 is beast known for 50%+ overclock. It has very linear voltage/frequency curve and I’m sure that if you pumped it with 1.55V it could have run 3.9G easily!
I still got one for sale, if anyone is still interested. Package contains backplate and sound card. Hit me up for more info.
History and hardware porn. Zehr gut!
Hey it's GPUB...
Maybe use a Intel Xeon X5492 for OC. I managed to take mine to 4.1 GHz with a CoolerMaster 240mm AIO and an extra fan blowing air on the VRM's.
what board? without getting into details, there seems to something wrong with that that setup
@@n0rie9a GA-EP45T-UD3P (rev. 1.1) This was the board I had but it also depends on the sillicon of the CPU.
@@Teksers hmm...thats one hell of a board; and since were talking xeons which are binned pretty nicely id say thats one unlucky draw in the lottery my dude... that xeon can do 4.25 almost stock on air on at least 3 high-end P45 boards (tested)...and cool as ice too
The fact that even this is sorta passively cooled makes me think that the fans on x570 are just lazy design
What max FSB with Quad Core Q9650 on this mobo?
higher than 500 FSB ??
Where can i still buy this?
I’ve been trying to get that mobo for a year now....
Any eta on carbonaut? I've wanted this product for sometime and it feels like its been delayed for an extremely long time.
It has been available in Germany for quite some time but it takes time for the distributors outside EU to list it...
@@der8auer Oh ok I might try amazon germany maybe they can ship to the uk?
Do you have any dfi boards?
Hi but in this motherboard can I mount 8 GB of ram?
I think that maximum memory for those motherboards was 8 GB .
It definitely was for DDR2 on P35, but maybe not X48? And I didn't know DDR3-2666 was a thing either, especially back then. Highest I had seen was a 2400 kit in the X79 days.
What is monitoring software?
I overclocked a Intel Celeron D 3.2Ghz to 3.6Ghz
Where Can I get a ROG flag like in the back ground . I would pay ALOT to it. BTW I enjoy all your content
