With 2 small fans mouted on the cooling fans my NB temp is 47 C degrees with 1.55V, raising that voltage to 1.6 I get around 50 degrees. SB is around 40 degrees. A little to hot I think so gonna add some water cooling tomorrow.Quote:

Ok now stupid question but is the formula and rampage the same ??? Like is the x48 just a overclocked x38??? and is it worth me buying a formula for £165 or waiting for a rampage and paying £200 for it when its in stock.
Cheers Paul
those are some very impressive results! 6 more fsb makes a world of difference!:up:Quote:

from what i understand there is no real difference between the 2 except the x48 has the 1600mhz fsb stamp of approval, but as you can see here we are taking the x38 well beyond 1600mhz
Heh, that was easy. Here's AFUDOS 2.36ES.
yup confirmed 2.36ES, though its a bit late now... :p:Quote:

good find :)
Its the same board , the diffence is the bios which can be flashed over to the same as the rampage and the x48 is a speed binned x38Quote:

Ok so i could just flash the bios over and have a rampage ? is the speed binned just something in the bios and the chipset is just the same.
Sry for the dumb question but id just rather buy the formula and flash the bios over and sve the cash if its that simple.
Cheers Paul
yes it is as easy as just flashing over the bios. the speed binned thing is the northbridge, and is pretty much a fancy seal of approval nothing more. from experience the x38 runs past 1600fsb with easeQuote:

Jus one last thing , does it run ok with the e8400.
look @ zucker's and grnfinger's posts. apparently, they are having excellent results :yepp: :DQuote:

think of it....... as gold (x48) vs silver (x38)
Thanks those who posted temp numbers. :)
How is the Asus warranty policy when it comes to changing the chipset cooling? Will it void it? If it doesn't I'd get an actual Rampage, but if it does void it, there's really little point in not getting a maximus instead and flashing it to a rampage. Assuming the NB is the same quality of course.
Man, I just started reading through this post this morning, and got to about page 5 and said to myself, I'm doin' it tonight when I get home. Went smooth as silk... Just wanted to post and say my Thanks especially to The Stilt and ZenEffect for their hard work. Much appreciated guys, simple thanks doesn't go far enough to express how happy I am as an owner of a Rampage! I hope "those guys" don't lock future Rampage BIOS's from us. Sorta nice of them to let us get away with it so far eh? ASUS has re-earned my loyalty. BTW, only snag I ran into was 0219 did not rec. my USB keyboard (minor). Otherwise, it booted right into Vista x64. Goin to do more testing now... Thanks again M8's!!!
i think at this point the only way to lock out future bios' will be to completely redesign the motherboard. i may be wrong but i dont think there is much asus can do on the software side to lock us out.Quote:

If the multi is 9x and you load a profile with for example, 8x, if you save a reboot it stays stuck at 9x and when you boot it is at 9x in the bios. Set it to 8x manually now and then save and reboot and it should be fine. This is the only quirk I've found so far...
Correct. We've now got the flash tools to flash ANY bios to these boards, even if it had yet another ROMID or was even a completely incompatible bios, we could still force it to flash to our boards.Quote:

vdroop is normal. make sure you have loadline calibration enabled and it shouldnt be as bad.Quote:
