Mine is also 1.02G, I flashed into bios 0602 from the 04XX. I will try that 0505.
Are you using the Sound Blaster with the "onboard" SupremeFX or as standalone? And in which PCI slot?

The install still seemed slower then my old NF3 w/ FX-60, but it was faster then before. And so far XP seems to be running fine. But I've had some other problems installing stuff. The ASUS InstALL had problems installing. And my G5failed the first time. Might be a issue, I'm not sure yet.

Other than PCI-E 2.0 and better support for 45nm and DDR3, how is this a new chipset?Quote:
Probably just growing pains, it's a VERY new chipset, and the BIOS is in its infant stages. It will probably take awhile before this thing starts to shine. My old P5b Deluxe was like that when it first came out, then it became a rock.
Didn't Intel design the X38 specifically for DDR3? Didn't ASUS and other MoBo manufacturers have to force DDR2 support on the chipset? I'm wondering if all are problems are just due to poor optimization of DDR2 that can't be fixed outside of loose timmings.
looking at ya picture you seem to have another version of the driver I use, I just looked at creative webbie and it's the same driver for all the cardsQuote:

The first time I installed the parts, the card worked, but the creative applications weren't installed. I tried to install them, and since then I can't hear any noise:shakes:
Thy for your answer too, I would like to use both of the soundcards, one of them with surround headset and the other with 5.1 speaker system. I will behappy, if I had "only" noisy mic. I don't get any sound from the X-FiQuote:

try changing your pci-e frequency
Its at 110 right now, should i put it back to 100???? or take it higher?Quote:

seems like i have a defective card, im just going to frys to return it........will report back, probably will get the xfx card tommorow to test out.
well, a fresh GFX card will definately rule out a glitch, etc. with the MB.
Cool, same way I'm setting up my case.Quote:

It works well... :cool:
0701 bios seems to have been released on the FTP check it out! Anyone wanna test it?
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/so...ximus_Formula/
IM going to give 0701 a shot, i really want this prime 95 issue fixed, if not im going to switch boards, i have a chip that can do 3.9 stable, but im stuck at 3.7 because of this voltage issue.
OK...........prime 95 issue still not resolved.
What voltage issue do you mean ?
Still looking into my issue..........................
OK, I am highly suggesting plumbing the Fusion block into your loop if you can. Dropped NB temp from 47°C to 34°C under load. NB volts at 1.65. It also helps anything on the heatpipe lose a degree or two, my SB temp is down some too. It didn't kill my flow too bad, dropped it some, but not bad. All I had was a CPU block in the loop anyways. And the MCP655 has a lot of push power.
possible 8800GT growing pains. have you tried a newer bios? Does your X-fi work well?Quote:

Damn I had these issues when the GTS just came out only a beta driver solved my issues with games.... will look for ya GAR if I find something...
Forget 0701 and 0602 ----- 0602 loosend NB timings, and performance of the board overall according to benchmarks.
0701 they might have done something with the NB timings/board performance I cant even boot my stable settings with DRAM Static Read Enabled, or Transaction Booster Enabled and fiddled with voltages for a bit, but nothing worked....its back to 0505 for me until otherwise :)
Damn so far max fsb that I've reached is 527 dunno is my 6850 or board.
Today some ss cooling and 10.703 SuperPi 1M
did you try rebooting a few times? remember, this board seems to be quirky with reboots and whatnot.Quote:

0602 fixed the 500*8 boot issue I was having with my Ballistix Tracer 1066 kit though. I will try 0701 later today possibly and see what happens as even with 0602, I was still having divider issues. Right now I am at 445*9 with my RAM at 1069, 4-4-4-12-2T and am seeing excellent performance.Quote:

Is it normal for this board to have reboot issues? when you hit F10 to save changes from the bios, does your machine restart the way it's supposed to? Can you do reboots from Vista, Dos, etc?
Also, does Asus or Intel have a utility like nTune or uTune (abit) that allows you to tweak voltages from within Windows? I find this handy when overclocking. Get a stable OCCT run and drop the vcore down .2 volts and try again. Saves A LOT of time as opposed to rebooting EVERY time you tweak something.
Thanks in advance for any advice...
Have you disabled SpeedStep, C1E, and those options? If not, do so.Quote:

@GAR
it seems like the 8800GT issue is isolated, mine runs fine but im still on the 0505 bios. Try a downgrade and keep your PCI-E locked at 100. The only problems im seeing so far is the vista restart issue and I won't upgrade my bios until that gets fixed in a release.. I have no problems with dividers or x-fi conflicts..
anybody else experiencing issues with their 8800GT?
I give up and waiting for new driver for X-Fi Fatal1ty Pro FPS, because it won't work :shrug:
Xp reinstalled again, inserted just the X-Fi in PCI slot1 and VGA in PCIEx16_2(worked without any problem), but it was no use:shakes:
The mobo doesn't recognise the card at all, think it will be driver or bios matter. I wait for a while, if there is no solution, i will say goodbye to the board:rofl:
I have 1 question about my RAM.
It's Corsair XMS2 DHX 4GB: 2 X 2GB Module (DDR2).
It is rated at 1.80V
When I boot the Maximus SE for the first time, what will my RAM's voltage be set to, and is there any chance of it being too high, and actually damaging my RAM on the initial boot?
If this board does over-volt the memory by a tad (not sure that it does), when I do get control of the BIOS, what would you set it to initially?
Thanks.
I doen't think I've seen either SpeedStep, or C1E in the BIOS. What are they? I can get the X8 by setting it manually. I just thought the MB should have set it automaticly with AUTO settings. It see's my CPU as a E6750.Quote:

EDIT: Lol...Lee was asking about the bios? Apparently he found it because the post vanished...
So wait, what do I believe for temps now? Coretemp or the board?
OK, my problem is related to the X-FI drivers in vista 64, stupid creative..................what should i do, is the onboard sound good enough?????
stupid creative, i went from returning 2 great overclocking 8800GT's to thinking its my board, all because of stupid drivers, went ahead and took apart my computer all because of this :banana::banana::banana::banana:, F*ck creative labs, sorry for the language fellas, but this is crap support from a HUGE company like creative wich makes million a month, but cant release decent drivers for a 64 bit OS.
It's ok...you tried the slot above the pci-e?
whoa sorry to hear that, you returned it already?Quote:

Funny noone blames Microsoft for releasing another POS OS, no issues at all here with WinXP 64, I'll never switch XP for Vista unless it gets some serious service packs...
cliffy:
Do you find Everest to be stable? When i was trying it (4.20.1170) I would get Blue Screen restarts. I stopped using it and haven't had another one yet. This was on XP Pro.
Everest 4.20.1170 works fine here ;) you think it's like that coretemp version that made several Pc's BSOD.... but my version looks totally different then Cliffy's one...
and I can confirm Cliffy's findings; with Static read control on and transaction booster off (level 0) I get way better ram scores :) than with 0505... Read and copy improved drastically, write though stayed almost the same....
Yeah i returned the BFG, but i got myself another one, XFX 8800GT, the BFG was a good overclocker, i feel bad for returning it, wish i knew this problem last night! anyway, either i can use the onboard sound or just go back to good old windows XP, or just use vista 32???Quote:

I started running Vista about 2% of the time in a duel boot. After some game testing I've found Vista to be superior to XP. Not in FPS but in memory managment, and in so more stable frame rates with virtually no dips below 30 FPS unless I'm running more then 2 games at the same time. Vista's S3 sleep state actually works where XP would be hit and miss 50% of the time.Quote:

does anyone know if this is available for download yet? Does Asus have something that does this? (tweaking volts / timings from Windows)
This is supposed to work for the X38 and P35 chipsets.

ill get my maximus none SE mobo by the day after tomorrow, and i think ill get my memory that day too, so i would like to know what BIOS to get? 505 ore the new one 701?
and is there any other thing i have to have in mind?
Hi, no even before the X-FI, I remember the file corruption issues caused by audigy drivers and via chipsets. You wouldn't think X-FI was so bad when the audigy driver trashed your hard drive..Quote:

sounds good, will give it a shot, if its not fixed, i wont even bother selling this card, im gonna shoot it.....ill take a video for you guys and put it on youtube.........and im not kidding :yepp:Quote:

Was it subtimings, or the way DRAM Clock twister/Static Read or Transaction booster works? because I tried alot of things and it simply would not work.. Think I will stick with 0505 and wait for actual release and see if they say anything about it.
Try disabling Transaction Booster and set the level to 1 or 2.Quote:

You don't have to install the whole suite to get the X-Fi working, just have it search the *.iso for the drivers and you'll be good to go.

NB = 1.71
FSB = 1.60
Once I go water I wont care too much but on air im concerned...
FYI - If your water cooling your SE, using the stock ROG NB cooler, report your temps in this thread please:

So I would have to push 1.75 and with a FSB of 1.65 to get 485? Damn, thats riskyQuote:

I have come to the conclusion that when I change bios settings and restart and it doesn't come back on like a normal board does that there is something wrong with my settings. I say this because when set on the stable settings I have found it NEVER does this.Quote:

I did get 5 FPS higher scores in the Crysis benchmark against the 680i (at same clock speeds) Seems like if I could get it stable it would be a great board, I do like the features.
I noticed the same thing on my board. I updated the 0401 BIOS it shipped with to 0505 during assembly and noticed on reboot it hung for a good 30 seconds then came back up, booted normally. System stability is great, I have been running Q6600 B3 @ 2.88 (320x9) with uptime of 7d:10hr now on Intel stock cooler. I'll push further but I'm shopping around for air cooling for cpu, nb, sb, vga or considering a 3/8" water kit and unsure which way to go. The NB is getting hotter than the cpu sometimes so something has to be done there, leaving the waterblock without water is not an option.Quote:

I am running 400x9 totally 100% stable. I am now working on 450x8 with the new 0701 bios since 0505 was not able to run that. I never did try with 0602, it was on here for about a day or 2 before I just upgraded to 0701 about an hour ago. If you get a new one and it is still not working correctly, I'd start looking at other hardware than the motherboard.

Ok I backed off a bit and have found that I am stable with a PC Probe II reported NB of 1.62 and FSBT of 1.66 this is at 460x9 under phase and air cooled chipset. I didnt try for a max yet and wont until my WC parts arrive later this week.
so far its running just fine with an X-Fi and the new drivers...
