i sold my max3 before i could test it. heard too much horror stories and besides my new a64 3200+ will be giving me much better performance especially under my prom

mrzee, what voltage are you running through your ram.. and what is it reporting in your bios or in the winbond hardware doctor?

MrZee has one of the 'good' IC7-MaxIII boards. I have tried two MaxIIIs and with BH-5, they will only run at 3:2. I got as high as 288, 3:2, 2-2-2-5. At 5:4 the board was not 3D stable above 260-265 or so.

I am finding it's not that 5:4 is broke on a lot of motherboards, it's that there is a limit to how high they can run. If you got a 2.40C, the 260-265 limit doesn't cut it. I have also tried slower CAS settings to see if I could move the threshold up. No dice.

My DFI 875P Infinity board runs 289, 3:2 with ADATA PC450. It is only 3D stable at 5:4 up to 281.

It's in my screenshot, it's set at 3.2v in bios, hardware doc reports it at 3.17v.
