I always wanted this board and when i saw it abandoned in a hardware pile at a ridiculously low price i had to get it. Trying to dive right in with this board proved to be a no go, I had to start from scratch and learn how this board behaves from trying to boot with ram speeds known to work on other motherboards I've tested to making that memtest stable. Then the nightmare of trying to boot into windows lol this board is very challenging which is a good thing and all this done to make a save profile o_O this will be my torture board for the time being.

system specs

cpu - i7 5930k
mb - gigabyte x99 soc champion
ram - crucial ballistix 2666mhz
psu - evga supernova G2 1300w
hdd - crucial mx100 256Gb

Have you tried CL9/10 on the sticks? I could push 2800 CL9 on 1.65V on the Rampage V Extreme and the board hates me and my RAM. Every single one of my sticks can do 3Ghz but the moment I try run them in quad the board dropped channel C and D so I could never try something like CL10 3000. The board died recently so it's now in RMA but my intention is to sell it once it comes back so I can get a Champion.
