Last night i put the E8400 in Maximus. That board did 590mhz FSB with E6600 on dice but now im having a hard time booting over 500. Wil let you know how it goes, rather sure im missing a setting :D
i playing with this under Radbox cooler , and i think i m limited by motherboard ^^
Maybe also a setting :D

loco, what are you bios settings for the 590+ FSB on commando ? i.e. Asus CGI and Static read set to ?? sub timings ?
Volts in pic with Probe. CGI & Static read disabled (almost sure wil check later at home). Subtimings default (5-5-5-15-42-10-10). Wil try if it wil do the same with a little less volt and/or tighter timings. Slooooow 32M but no tweaks and the apps open. Volts:

interresting actually, i got the same problem ala x38, 500 is the limit to get into windows, 550 i can post without problem, really seems like a chip flaw...
:(
Im gonna change board, but no idea to what? i got ddr3 so it must be that.
Great results loc.o.
Your CPU is asking for something colder, so donīt let her/us down :D
It makes harder to choose a Q9450 over these E8***, but as an addicted to F@H, my choice is final, unless i get a pair of theses :ROTF: :rofl:
amazing cpu then loco, i flashed to 1605 bios still no better fsb on my E8500 .. weird is only high fsb >540FSB on first bios save/exit, subsequent save/exit of bios on high fsb results in hang with LCD display at DET DDRAM heh
I am not surprised that the Maximus can't keep pace with the Commando :)
After my experience in this thread, I think your Commando is even more of a freak motherboard thatn my P5B-D.

Wow, I thought my 600FSB under stock cooling is impressive. But what you are doing here :up:
A rather fast look at another E8500. Q746A363. Seems to do a bit better then me other one. Only single channel and no tweaks.

Wil try it on dry ice this weekend.
did everyone go out to newegg and start buying commando's after this thread? it went up $30 in the last couple days.
loc.o, again a new one? Seems a nice chip mate, what fpo#?
Who could have thought the good old 965 would be this usefull again? :cool:
