is it worth tracking down a SE version if i'm thinking about getting water cooling? or is the non-SE with a good wc setup just as good?
TBH I don't really think water cooling the NB is going to do much for you....I have the non-se with watercooling and my NB is cooled by case fan airflow only......running 3.8 GHz DDR2-1128 fine.Quote:

Another thing : Have anyone tried a kit of G.Skill 2x2GB 8000 PQ (5-5-5-15 @ 1000) in this mobo ? Is it a good combination ?
The board overvolts the dimms with about 0.1 everyone had these findings, same for CPU PLL wich is at least 1.6 ( even if you set 1.5)...:mad:Quote:

I don't run the ram OC'ed 24/7 but the same kit does 1066Mhz on 2.1 volts with 5-5-5-15 2T on the P5K Dlx :up:
Edit : 30 min test completed screenie :

And my mysterious reboot issue is solved, after pulling the battery for the night, must have been a bad flash somehow... :shrug: glad I found that out , was ready to wrap it up and send back for RMA...
FYI - I am especially looking for more water cooled Maximussss'es Loaded NB temps, that are using Aftermarket water blocks. If that sounds like you, load that puppy up and make an entry. ;)
The thread is located in the Water Cooled Section: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=162085
Here is our collection of LOADED NB temps reported my various members. I would like to see more aftermarket loaded NB temps hit the chart.
Please feel free to submit your data, and this chart will be updated. :)
We are looking for the hottest temp, your NB hit's, under a heavy load!
We are giving both the ROG stock cooling, and the Aftermarket blocks full credit, for being able to keep a NB cool at idle by default.
This log's purpose was to simply record how high our NB temps were able to climb, using our current cooling solutions.
Members reported loaded NB temp's in the 'Aftermarket Block Club':
ABC Member ----- NB volts -- NB Loaded ------------------- CPU --------------- NB Block
Creek Tha Gray ---- 1.61v ------ 20°C -- occt at 30min -- Q6600 @ 3.9GHz --------- EK S-MAX
Nikhsub1 ---------- 1.52v ------ 25°C ------------------- Q6600 @ 3.7GHz --------- MCW30
Members reported loaded NB temp's using the stock ROG cooling:
ROG Member ----- NB volts -- NB Loaded -------------------------- CPU ------------------
bill d ------------- 1.30v ------ 34°C ----------------------------- Q6600 @ 2.4GHz
TheSamuri -------- 1.54v ------ 34°C ------------------------- Q6600 GO @ 3.9GHz (Reseated W/MX-2, NB was 48°C)
Renegade5399 ---- 1.65v ------ 34°C -------------------------- E6850 GO @ 4GHz
ragge86 ---------- 1.65v ------ 36°C ----------------------------- Q6600 @ 3.8GHz

Bought them on newegg as oem drives for the same price as regular sata drives. I'm surprised myself.Quote:

Burst speed isn't really as important as average read speed.

any ideas why i cant set cpu ratio control to manual? it doesnt highlight to allow me to change but will let me enter numbers only but then i cant see the ratio cmos setting..Quote:

Can anyone help with this ?Quote:

Come on...post your experience so far about the Extreme Formula at new egg's customer review. Is it stable at your current OC, etc? You could add that you are not successful getting 550 FSB with your CPU as of yet ;)

I would do it but they want a cc to register and I'm not overly cool with handing out my cc number just to post on a forumQuote:

Is there anyway to improve this ?
With E8500 it seems like Maximus is getting along realy strange. I was aiming for over 4Ghz frequency, but after seen how much is heating up, i kinda give up (for the moment). With the same cooling (Thermalright SI-128 + 3 x 120 arround it), E6850/3.6Ghz with 1.45V Full Load wouldn't go anything higher than 60c. Now, E8500/4.0Ghz with 1.3V Full Load goes almost instant at 70c. With 1.35V it goes at 80c.... and so on. Scary stuff. I'll try to upload my settings in here... as it was pretty hard to get it stable and not go over 70c.
must i install the soundcard riser thing if i just want to use the spdif toslink audio output?
Yeah I get the same, Windows XP x64 here and it also takes a long time to boot. I don't know why, whether it's a driver thing or isn't the BIOS helping (0907). One thing's for sure, my Abit IP35 PRO boots up a lot quicker and the hardware is almost identical save for the graphics card and only 1 Seagate 7200.10 320GB drive (non RAID).Quote:

Windows takes time loading due to drivers...my install is 3 bars loading, but I've disabled alot of start-up items, otherwise it's very long. Until i disabled those items, it was 8.5 bars.
I think Maximus is showing some unreal temperatures... In CoreTemp and Everest i get 69-70 degrees full, while the radiator surface or "Ninja inside" readings barely shows 30 degrees celsius. Asus must be playing with temps (0907 right now... tried to get back to 0802 but couldn't).
