Asus Rampage Formula X48 overclock REAL or FAKE?

[Remcokatz]

A person submitted the following overclock on my website:

http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk240/Michel1056/600fsb.jpg

He says he managed to get 600fsb on a Asus Rampage Formula X48 motherboard, which i find very hard to believe since i know many people who have this motherboard (including me) that do not get any further then 520 - 540fsb.

Is this person faking or not?

600 is possible on a dual core, anything over 520 on a quad would be mighty impressive though

[Solarfall]

x48 mobos can hit over 600fsb.. so this could be real

[Remcokatz]

i managed 530 with my old Q6600 g0...

So you say 600 is very much possible on a dualcore... alright :)

Does this have anything to do with having the newest bios ?

[George_o/c]

Yeah that's possible :)

100% fake .let he show a validation

(i know there are people who are able to cheat validation)

[massman]

Looks to be valid to me, though.

//EDIT: having looked at the CPU-Z validation, I have doubts as there was a Dutch person named Michel who has been cheating in the past.

[Remcokatz]

your first response gave me the feeling that he was to be trusted since you are pretty much an authority when it comes to validating overclock results.

The reason why i didn't trust this person right away is because of his name... can you have some other hwbot mods look into it?

It can be possible. My rampage does the same. I saw 8*600 on screen two days before but I have only 593*8 validation yet.

I know that having high fsbs on a rampage formula is possible (after reading your topic) BUT you are a very experienced overclocker or at least have been overclocking for a while.. this michel isn't if i have to believe him.. he says he's only been overclocking for +/- 2 weeks

If this is true its a little bit stranger.....

[sofarfrome]

Mine hit 575 with ease.

[Remcokatz]

Ok i understand that high fsbs with this motherboard are possible.. it's just that i'm not certain if i should trust THIS overclock because of the given reason by MASSMAN

[Hazzan]

I think that real.....I can bench with Rampaga Formula in FSB 590 and 580 with 3D bench on my E8400 :)

[Miravo]

Real. On newest bios high FSB isn't any problem. My X48 Rampage boots @ 600 FSB with E8500, 580 stable for benching, 590 windows/sp 1m, about ~595 max screen. So this shouldn't be a fake :)

[ZenEffect]

just did 570 on air last night on my maximus formula/rampage mod. so it can def. be real.

[Omastar]

Sure, it's possible. Why not? Duals will always have more FSB potential than quads, anyway.

thats my own X38 which I can hit well into 575 easy on.
I've hit 600 on it too as you can see here.

if I can do this with a board this old.
theres no reason why someone cant do better with these newer boards.

I have a thing I say often...

just cause you cant do it, doesnt mean it cant be done.

[Eldonko]

Why would it be fake, it is not that unbelieveble
