    New to ASUS Rampage III

    Old MOBO craped out on me so i figured it was time for a upgrade.

    MOBO: Rampage III X
    CPU : 990x
    RAM : Corsair Dominator 6g
    GPU : ATI 5870 1g X2
    Memor: 80g SSD(Boot Drive
    2T x 3 Storage(Individual Drives)

    Any Suggestions on How I should set up my BIO's?

    I usually just use default settings, but I would like to start learning how stretch the systems legs without OCing(not ready yet (i.e. Cooling)

    Id like to 1st start measuring the system( Benchmark). what other programs are out there?

    Then I have no idea where to go from there...LOL I mostly play MMO's But am looking to broaden my knowledge.

    The estimated time of arrival on your GPS is not when you will get there, it is your time to beat.

    Case: CM Stacker 680
    MOBO: Asus P5QPro
    CPU: Intel QX9650 LGA775 130W Quad Core
    GPU: ASUS/ATI 4870 x2
    RAM: Muskin 2GB x3
    SC: SB XFi
    PS: ThermaLake Tough Power 1000

    Sure, you can run SuperPI (1M and 32M), you can run Prime95 and/or LinX for stability, you can run 3DMark Vantage and/or 3DMark11. You can run memtest for memory stability testing. wPrime is another one you can run.

    Just a few for you to start with.

    Good Luck
