:shocked: still very nice. I have read the MF/RF overvolts the ram Everest says it overvolts by .04v is this correct?Quote:

My Maximus extreme (ddr3) was overvolting vdimm about 0.07 . I don't know about Maximus Formula though .Quote:

why the hell is there such a variance of over-volt?!?!?
my ambiant air is rather warm today 25c but the temps are not to bad considering , once the AC is back up and running temps should be nice and low.

Not much of a difference running PL6
http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/f...finger/pl6.png
try for PL5 next
grnfinger, looks like you got your temps under control :-) good to see. i had problems getting pl5 w/o cas4 just fyi... actually i cant get pl5 without cas4. also i found that just clocking my ram up to 1200mhz resulted in nearly the same bandwidth @ pl6 but with slightly worse latency. you running just the pa120.3 or both rads? it seems that the voltage required and temps are pretty much EXACTLY what my cpu does.
Just got the pa120.3 in at the moment, temps are decent now, even better when the AC is back up:up:
No room for a internal rad so I cant run dual, wife gave me the "look" when I suggested a new Mountain Mods case.
I'll have to get her drunk and try again
PL5 was a no post "det dram" hang, going to play with timing and see what I can squeeze out of 1133MHz PL6, if I can get Latency unde 50.0 I will be happy, odd thing is if I set FSB 450 and 8 multi the box wont boot I get
"USB OVER VOLT" computer will restart in 15 seconds....... any ideas on this?
71-72C still seems high for that voltage and ambient. Why not run the 2nd rad externally with a rad box??? ;)Quote:

I have a Thermaltake Soprano case so room is not abundant
i guess the best thing to do is take off the rad box and start making a water-cooling mess that takes up way too much space. then the wife will suggest to YOU to get the case :D
temps are about right though, you will see another drop of about 4-5c when you add the other rad. try 437fsb which puts the ram at 1165 pl6 1.481v bios (1.464 after vdroop) i was still able to get decent temps and the boost should reduce your latency to 49.7 or so. 8 multi required 333 strap for me pl7 only and clock twister to auto.
it seems grnfinger's and my cpu (sold grnfinger's cpu to him) run pretty much the exact same so i would say that the temps are spot on.Quote:

priming the new clock shortly
is this pl6 or 7? @ 6 i seem to have better results, but your timings are tighter :shrug:Quote:

time to work on my gfx cards again... (has nothing to do with this, just fugger's ocz contest... check it out... PARTICIPATE because there is no better place that #1)
its at 7 with pull ins enabled, going to test PL6 pull ins disabled, I find running with them disabled I get better bandwidth.
I have a nice 3870x2 here but NO water block yet, still in transit I guess, should have had you ship it heh
interesting to see how this is going to turn out. i just ran 21988 3dmark06 5 min ago... i wonder what you are going to get with the waterblocks. but also im clocked up a bit right now :DQuote:

ive been holding out for the next gen of gpus from ati... i can wait though because nothing out there that has come out has been an "upgrade" so to speak :mad:
Curious as to what's the best OC with stock cooling people have been able to get out of the Q6600? I'm at 2994Mhz right now, no real tweaks in the settings, and it idles in the low 30's, low 40's under load.
RAM right now is my weak link (667 stuff)........ and I have not tried to take the CPU any higher than what it's at.
Trying to get my settings OCCT/Prime95 blended stable....I'm testing between 475x8 vs 423x9......trying to find that trade off between stability and performance.
What tRD pull-in settings are you guys running? I'm testing tRD 7 with the first phase enabled on channel A and B.....
Another thing:
Has anyone tested this value in conjunction with tighted tRD values?
DDR2 Controller REF Voltage :
This basically increases the voltage (in 10 mV increments) to the MCH without increasing the voltage to the NB, right? I can't seem to find a good definition of this BIOS option.
All,
There is a new Rampage Formula bios on the ASUS FTP site:
401
Very nice find:)Quote:

Looks like the ASUS engineers have been busy. I'm going to wait to test the new Rampage until tomorrow.....Quote:

No real changes that I can see? Perhaps some 45nm clocking enhancements? I wont know until the Egg ships out my new X3350...
Great, that's exactly what I've being waiting for weeks.
Both 1201 and 0401 new bios are out for MF and RF respectively from the Asus FTP.
But I think I'll wait for Asus support site to upload the files with descriptions that states what changes have been made.
And please remember to share your results after flash to either new MF/RF bios.
Damn! Now I'm really torn... I flashed back to the Maximus waiting for BIOS updates, but now I'm feeling the urge to go back to the Rampage BIOS. I'm running 1201 right now, (seems to be running smooth, but then again I'm only running it at 4.2 GHz) but will probably flash back to the Rampage later this week.
