Hi!

I'm glad I came across this forum. The Asus support can't help me out with this, so here's my problem.

This is the latest Bios for the Rampage 2 Extreme motherboard:

Every time I wake up my PC from S3 sleep the CAS# latency is set to 6 instead of 8. This leads to nasty bugs and makes the S3 sleep useless, while S1 does work properly.

The other feature that's bugy is the Load Line Calibration. It is either on or off, there are no options to scale it - which I guess is intended but it pushes  VID much too far - there is no vDroop or sag at all, it just pushes Vcore 0.05 V above the VID set. I wonder if there is a way to optimize the LLCs' behavior to actually hold the voltage set or sag just a little so I can OC a bit further.

My system specs are:

CPU: Xeon X5675 Rev. B1 @ 200x21 @ 1.31 V, LLC pushes to 1.36 V
RAM: 3x 2GB  Corsair Dominator 1600 MHz 8-8-8-24 @1.65V
MB: Rampage 2 Extreme Rev. 2.xx
NB: x58 Rev. 12
SB: ICH10R Rev. 00
GPU: GTX 960 2GB
PSU: Thermaltake Cologne 730 W


Maybe you guys can give me a hand.
Thank you in advance, happy easter,

EDIT: The latency bug seems to be a known issue with the x58 architecture and S3 sleep mode. It seems that DRAM voltage is reset to default 1.5 V during sleep, which causes the problem, as stated here:

"Well, I think I've discovered the cause of the S3 post sleep corruption problems.  I was thinking about this tonight and realized that there was one simple error that could cause the exact problems we've seen with the corruption occurring with OC settings but not default settings.  The DDR voltage.  So I hooked up my DVM to the DDR test point and the instant the system entered sleep the RAM voltage dropped from 1.65 volts to the default setting of 1.5 volts."
