EZ Flash here too. I've got a USB Stick prepared with all the Rampage and Maximus bios ready, along with AFUDOS 2.29ES. :D

Faster FSB is a good choice, take a look here:Quote:

But it depends on settings, 5FSB more but 200Mhz ram less won`t be faster, you know.
Thats stock, you are supposed to use them at 1.9v according to there website.

I am looking to find info about there the "motherboard temperature sensor" is located.
Any ideas
Thanks
Shame on me:shrug:. I'm going to have to work on the whole paying attention thingy.
I've seen the picture before but can't remember off hand where it was posted. I believe the sensor is located somewhere around the top of the DIMM slots. I could be wrong though...like so many times before.Quote:

Setting my DRAM voltage in the BIOS to 1.88, gives me 2.0v in Everest. Do you think this might be a bit risky? :)
I did try a 390 FSB Frequency, but won't boot into Vista yet.

As long as the ram is not getting hot, but at 770MHz I dont see the point of overvolting. Relax Level 7 is gotta be real dog isnt it?Quote:

Going to keep that now too. :)
well i have to thank all of you guys... just followed your tips and voilá

just joined the club... no lets it's how this Maxiampage handles some heat :D
PS: and of course special thanks to the author of this madness... :)
With a 3Dmark score like that, all is forgiven :D
Thanks again for the other FTP link, but this is the same one I saw already. Actually these sites DO NOT clearify the latest BETA v/s FINAL. So where do you guys see a site specifying v1004 as ASUS final, and why or what is the difference from the "ASUS" BETA v1004? If the name of ROM is the same how do you tell them apart? I never saw this before, ASUS using the same version #s for each a BETA and a FINAL. Does this mean ASUS official web site will need to update their status? Also, since when is the official BIOS number higher then latest BETA? wich are you guys calling latest BETA then? Just curious!
For starting point stability, disable al performance options , especially booster ad Ai Clock Twister. Also if only testing @ FSB 400 for 1:1 w/ DDR800, try strap and DRAM frequency to AUTO for troubleshooting. I found on many BIOS versions, that it works fine, yet mobo is picky with manual of those 2 settings.Quote:

What you have there makes sense to me. I've also found that I can get stable at 3.6GHz with much less voltage than 3.8GHz. What pushes me to 3.8GHz is the fact that I went and blew all this money on the extreme chip with unlocked multiplier. If I don't run it at 9X or something like that, I might as well have the Q9450 with the 8X.
Your actual CPU voltage settings are pretty close to mine. I'm also getting significant vdroop between BIOS and Everest. I just set it at 1.4000 in BIOS because I was getting tired of prime95 errors at the 2 hour mark at about 1.38xxx. I'm sure I could ease it up a little from 1.40000 and still be stable.
I've seen someone here saying that they could get stable at lower voltages with the Rampage BIOS. That might be part of it.
since im at work :( , and this new bios is news to me :confused:
any better gtl adjustments? my quad loves the gtl... it seems i need a .72 value or so though
My same reason exactly. I like the 8x just fine for the FSB options. I refuse to blow that kind of money on an extreme CPU when I can usually get the same feel on half the cost.Quote:

0308 is more stable for me with prime anyway , at higher overclock , 425 x 9 is good so will try a bit higher
