Hey guys some clocks ive been working on over the last week. Ive been able to get 495 working on 500fsb this week.

Now bios 2202 and 1901 seemed to be the same for me for a quad core. The diffrence was id get this bug in 1901 where the system would all of a sudden become super unstable and wont boot windows.. after a bios reset from 2202to 1901 the system would become stable again.

Bios:2202
Vcore: 1.47
vtt:1.7
NB:1.65
memory Read:lighter
TRD:9-11
GTL
0:-10
1:-55
2:-10
3:-55

Nice Overclock. Monster VCore, would kill your Quad very quickly.

if they want the voltage give it...dont be shy. with a ep45-ud3p im sure the voltage on this same chip will be pulled in quite abit but right now stuck with the Maximus and with this board you need volts to push that fsb even with the gtl's tuned.

The temps are very high but nice clocks.

Dang man I just seen the NB volts at 1.65v thats way high.And the VTT at 1.7v thats also high.

yours quad go quick to cpu hell

Hey guys, can someone tell me if this mother or Rampage Extreme can be buy new? My Q9550 is asking me to destroy the BlackOps with a hammer, is doing 3.4Ghz without any tweaking and the only one giving me problems is the damn motherboard.

Well, if anyone can give me hand thanks!

Newegg has the MIIF but its over $200 for it new.

Some people believe in the start low and work you way up method... me personallyl I dont have the patience for that I start high and get it stable and then bring the voltages/GTLs down etc to fine tune.

just two different ways of accomplishing the same thing.

This is me at the moment. IBT passed 10 runs on max but Prime95 failed on Core 0 at just over 2 hours. A little bit of tweaking still required me thinks but almost there.

Hey guys those are 2 nice looking OC's right there... now I wanna see them 24/7 stable chop chop

id be surprised if you could get that 502 fsb OC stable for 4 hours that be sweet.

Hey guys good to see the thread still moving along.

I just sold my M2F, it's been fun but it was time for me to move on. Best of luck with your OC's.

My 24/7 setup on M2F. I have been using this for more then a year, never had a single crash, or anything. Perfect stable board for me.

Try tuning your CPU & NB skews. These can affect stability a lot with high fsb and save you some volts too. Tune your NB GTL too, from my experience, I gained more stability using positive values around +30-+50, but can be different for anyone. CPU GTLs may help more as well, but I doubt it helps as much as with quads. VTT is also rather low, you could try raising that but if you do, wou will need to re-tune any GTLs.
Change one setting at a time, reboot and test. If stability improves, tweak more in that direction. I would start with raising VTT to 1.26 then tuning NB GTL.

Good luck ;)

@ Saturn...make sure you are running on the 333FSB strap...400 is not so good :(.

Well guys, im not really one for total stability...but stable enough :p ...heres my newest with this board.

Nice chip you gat there ;) ...is it under water or SS ?

Well I don't like to go this low with ram frequ :/ that's why I left it for UD3 ^^ ...but now I battling with DFI T2RS+ urg! seems that the mobo don't like me :(

CPU is on DICE.. vcore was left high in the 2nd and 3rd pics, as I was moving a lot of FSB ...in effort to bench 3d at higher cpu speed... :shrug: this mobo only wants 3D if its below 583fsb...

*CPU is awsome though..I bench 5.0ghz with only 1.46vcore real :D ...even the 1.54v in the first pic is high for what it really needs. Hoping that better RAM will see me through 600fsb..this cpu has a lot more left in it.

what is the best bios for overclocking MAX FSB?

Im using 2202...currently limited on fsb by my cheap ram..

Does "enable CPU TM Function" for overclocking on the FSB?
02-23-2010, 06:46 AM
In-Fluence

TM function turns your PC off when the CPU hits its on board safe temperature. Disable it if your onboard CPU temp goes above 65-70°C then you can go above that.

1901 gave me best FSB results btw. I think I posted a 614fsb screenie with an E8500 somewhere on this thread. I didn't try benching with it though.

pritty impressive overclocks here guys:up: ... dispite of how horrible this board is with a quad... I got my UD3P in today my first boot was at 4.5 530fsb things a monster. it will go to windows at that speed not stable enough yet to run a Pi test yet tho.
