Dont get me wrong but from small ftt to stability there is long way to go :) Try blend test and IBT and report back. Good luck m8 :up:Quote:

Yeah it seems the CPU's can handle it but the P45 NB/RAM caps out for most... even worse on DDR3 version of P45
What is skewing test?Quote:

ok,mate, tonight, I will try :up:Quote:

skewing test to show the reason y high fsb on this board is limited for full stabilityQuote:

its either they give u more options on the ram or have better mem tables in the bios
and age.. old enough to buy any hardware and retire in a few years
kekeke
My system is stable, no doubt. 450x9 blah blah its great.Quote:

80c on the cpu would start to worry me too.
yes dude, under water :)Quote:

yes i use the Cryptik formula that you linked (but for the 45nms) :) and it runs! :pQuote:

SkOrPn - Thanks for posting your bios settings, they work really well. I now understand why you guys like over clocking so much. I always hated how long Vista took to boot up but its much faster now. Thanks dude.
Im pretty amazed no one has a stable 500x8 setting for a quad-core..
Meh! stick to my 450x9 then :up:
Yes I also tought the same till i tested IBT ;)Quote:

I finally got time to open my RMA'd board from Asus.
It was actually packaged very very well this time around.
I open the cardboard box and see another box inside, this one is white no lables and of mobo size, I'm all excited like christmas all over again.
So Grn takes his time and carefully opens the smaller box and to my surprise its a Max II Formula not a Rampage :shakes: :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing Asus couldnt order a pizza correctly.
Well now I have 2 MIIF boards grrrr ...... Its still a sweet upgrade, Max Formula SE for a Max II Formula but it really piss's me off , maybe I should go for RMA #4:rofl:
Wow, and this is actually after talking with these people on the phone??? Goes to show how much "customer support" is actaully going on there....:shakes:
Hell, if you had any old Asus Nvidia cards, you could RMA those and probbably pick up a couple of 4870x2's..... It would be worth paying the shipping.....:rofl::rofl::rofl:
HAHAHA I dont doubt that, I'm tempted to call and complain, atleast they got the T-Shirt right, right size and color:up:Quote:

I'd be happy with the Maximus II Formula.. E8400 will probably love it haha.
Ok so now I am at 4Ghz stable - E8500, Im wondering how far can it go and be stable, what do I have to do to get there?
Ahh no need to fret:DQuote:

In the meantime why not try this.
445x9 266strap ram 1116MHz, you might have to give the vNB alittle more to keep it stable but I think you'll find the bandwidth boost rather refreshing.
12:10 1081MHz is kinda meh and has high latency
Not sure if your ram is up to the challenge but dont forget dram clock skew is your friend:up:
Thats pushing it on the ram, but what do you suggest for the ram skews?
I used to do Advance 250PS on my G.Skills thanks to you and it helped quite a bit.. I'll give them a shot first.
Ok im posting on this right now.. 445x9 266strap, 1116 or 1118 on the ram.. damn i cant believe it even booted :eek:
All skews are on Advanced 250ps and everything on auto (transaction booster, OC charger, everything) and my ram timings are set in which are a bit loose since im running 8GB.. 4x2
Failed memtest within seconds, but its not bluescreening. Let me put more clock skews see what happens. brb.
I doubt the ram can do it, probably just comes down to that.
Puttign them on Delay 250ps has 2 memtest at 2.0% now. usually failed at 0.6 with my first error. Looking decent so far. going to get another memtest instance going
Please don't thank me, Ive never been a serious overclocker before, sure I been using minor overclocks since my BP6 days but never as serious as this. Im a veteran enthusiast into computers since the 80's but imo this board is the first "serious" overclocking board I have ever had (not counting a few DFI LP's a few years back). I usually just get very good mainstream boards for the most part (Like my last board which was the P5B Deluxe), but these ROG boards just look so damn good through a window... LOL, its the only reason I got the thing in the first place, that and eSATA.Quote:

Good luck with your new found hobby... :D
This is my first OC board too, I just had to have it even though it cost $500......
We have a similar H2o setup.
Advanced 350 and upping the ram volts wont hurt, 266 strap might require a drop or 2 more of vNB.Quote:

seban, how did you work out he 0/2 1/3 and NB GTLs, as i need to up the FSB for 480 stable.. cheers amte
