Haven't looked for it really, but i believe that it just isn't there, haven't noticed any greyed out sata optionsQuote:

yes i am using 4x 1gb sticks just like i said i was...
i also lose my bluetooth adapter for my mouse and keyboard so i cant even use it
if the system does boot windwos wont even use it, windwos has to reinstall all the usb devised and for some fracking reason cant find any bluetooth drivers.
its like it totally fuxors the entire USB system of the motherboard.
@ things affect USB stability, same issues you describe...chipset volts, and FSB volts. You can tell whne USB is problematic, as boot will get faster as you clock up, but when USB is affected, boot will take slightly longer, although problems will not be apparant immediately. Happens both with dual cores and quads, near max FSB, which of course differs from cpu to cpu. If you are running into this issue, you need X48....mobo is holding you back.
The CLR CMOS button on the back of my MRF resets my BIOS 100% of the time. :DQuote:

i'll live with the "DET DRAM" issue as i can fix that just by swapping out the ram this usb crap is exactly that,, crap,, its really screwing up all my usb stuff.
USB isnt effected by voltages either, i just want to make that quite clear.
and i am not trying to knock you or anyone, but you'd know this if you'd been around long enough.
the only thing known to kick out USB devices would be if the pci bus freq is not locked at 33mhz when your overclocking totally wacked out ACPI and IRQ handling of the bios.
i have seen similar things before, long time ago with some wacko mobo's that didnt have a PCI freq. lock. but i havent seen it for a really long time.
i can take the ram back to 2 gigs and the same crap happens.....
oh well,, 1201 didnt give me anything new except the stupid DET DRAM wasnt happening all the time, it was still happening but powering off and powering back on made it boot into the bios safe mode so i could make the changes i needed.
was also getting BSOD and Reboots in XP and vista64...
oh well,, no skin off my back to rever back to an older bios...
wont do any good to tell ASUS either cuz they will just blame my hardware and not their flakey bios(s).
Maybe you should be digging into what held X38 back, why they respun. Take a look at how many X38 boards have USB issues..It's not just ASUS. X48 delay controlled? :rofl:
You don't even know how the CMOS switch works(try reading the manual for enlightenment), so your opinion doesn't look too reliable..
This is what i´m running right now. First time boot today i got vga bios again and the computer shut down. Second try windows wouldn´t boot. Then the third try and weeee, windows worked.

I've only read this post so I am not sure what else you have tried. However, it sounds to me that you need a bit more voltage for your northbridge. Try 1.51V and see if things improve. Also, leave NB GTL Reference to Auto and see if that improves stability as well.Quote:

Here is a link to OCZ's trd calculator ( Tony did a nice job of explaining everything) it should help rid you of the det dram

I must have missed that post, I seem to having a little usb issue of my own lately.Quote:

Do it buddy!!
We need more pure blood Maximus boy's around here! :up:
I haven't bothered with the latest MF bioses yet (1101? and 1201); I like RF 0403 a lot and I have 3 quads here to play with so I'm going to stick with it. Playing with high fsb here; this is a sweet little chip (vid. 1.2500), sips vcore and should easily do 450x9. I'm liking my other chip tho, (vid. 1.2625) which does 7x500 rock solid stable, and 8x500 everest stability stable. I'm working hard to stabilize that and keep it chiefly because of the high fsb (reached 7x515). It's likes a tad more vcore. I want to see how high this chip will prime stable; so far looking good as I'm running apps and posting from this pc. Screenie:Quote:

I was thinking on going to a DFI X48 board but after lurking in the DFI thread I see there no better off than us Maximus users, so no point in trading one pos for another:ROTF:
What makes a Maximus, a Maximus? The boot logo? Anyway, I got a screenie for ya!Quote:

So it's more cpu related than anything else. Coincidentally, there all these 500fsb capable cpus have something in common: low last 4 digits wafer numbers. I understand the first 2 figures are the X axis, last 2, Y axis (all from center).Quote:

processor 3: L746B022. Vid.: 1.3125v 4 Digit Wafer #: 0870
Bear in my mind that these numbers are supposed to go all the way to 99 for each axis. So it seems the closer the numbers are to 00 (center) on the X axis, the higher the fsb they are capable of running at. My 2 cents.
I didnt up any volts from your settings, I will play around today and see what I can do, While not xtreme my cooling is very good, so heat will not be an issue running 500FSBQuote:

Z, you're a monster! I'm happy to say I was able to get over 510 FSB w/8G on this board, hoping for some more. Yummmmm.
Hi.
Can i get some feedback on my voltages and temps? the board has seemed good so far, 1hr prime and 1hr OCCT.
4-4-4-12 with the RAM @ 890mhz and 1:1.
445fsb x 9
E8400 @ 4ghz
Its not stable without 1.58v for the northbridge as I have 4x1GB sticks of RAM and the CPU is not stable without 1.42V in bios. I have loadline calibration off as I heard somewhere its not worth it, I do figure with it on tho, 1.38V would be enuff. Is 44412 @ 890 better then 55515@1069?
I'm looking for a safe, fast 24/7 setup.
>> http://www.users.on.net/~remlwebb/1hr4ghz.jpg >>
There is a newer version than that but thanks for the info. I grabbed the latest driver a few days ago. It does seem that the updated chipset drivers have solved all my USB issues, if any others are having problems I would suggest trying the latest drivers.Quote:

Maybe Kup you could add them to main page?
Nice find; you too Grnfinger.Quote:

This is the source of the problem. As chipset voltage increases, it's easy to "miss-trigger" this "functionality", and hence the issues some are having. It's a chipset feature, so raising SB violts as someone mentioned, isn't gonna solve the problem, unfortunately. When you start to trigger this problem, your board is close to it's limit. If it was the SB, then X48 would be suspect of having the same issues, but it does no run into this issue until much higher FSB is attained.
