Tried it, and it didnt do the trick. Gets me in to the desktop, but the its BSOD or freeze and reboot.Quote:

Ill keep on playing some more...
Thanx guys:clap:
Look at the areas in BOLD i edited for you. Give them a try and let us know if you get any further or actually stable.
Look mainly into RAM, 4x1g or 2x 2g is a load on the NB, Also, limit use of performance boosters in beginning. Light or disable is best for stability.
Just try to keep NB cool and you should be fine, about just under 50c under (46c idle) loading is OK, less is better.Quote:

doubled checked the install, its 100%
Am I missing something or is the chip dead?
Never mind
Seems in my haste, it was operator error :shakes:
This happend to me when I removed a Q9450 to replace w/ 64nm E6750. I was on BETA BIOS v1004. Not sure what really solved it, but my BIOS just became buggy ever since the switch, yet whan on the Q9450 for over 2 months it was fine other then the limit of OC ability (CPU limit, not mobo).
I disconnected evrything except GPU, CPU, and 1 stick of RAM cause I was also now getting the DET_RAM bug and occassional CPU_Int message. It took several clear of CMOS and I even reflashed BIOS and it finally got half way back to normal, NO more CPU_Int but I randomly get the DET_RAM on cold wake up from S4 (S3 never works) but waiting a few seconds seems to warm it up so a reset kicks right back in to as normal and resumes just fine. This used to happened once in a blue moon on my BETA v0903 outfit.
I also had to do some basic manual OC profile settings to get her to boot stable and then fine tune. use the F1 to enter set up and make basic settings , save to profile and continue. at least you can keep going back on lock ups.
Not sure it's the same but hope it helps.
I was really bumed at first, but I pop'd it out and back in and the bugger booted right up.
Cant get 3.8GHz, to bad my VID is a crappy 1.325.
I can however get a nice 450x8@1200ram ( priming now) with decent volts 1.50v actual and full load 58c, so I am happy with that.
I was hoping that the 10 multi would give me a 4.0GHz quad core 24/7 setting but I guess its not to be.
Seems I will have to sell a kidney and grab a QX for me to achive my goal. I am torn between a C2D or a Quad for my daily use, I love the bandwidth the wolfdale gives me, but I miss the raw power of a quad. Maybe I should go AMD:rofl:
In regards to your S3/S4 issue I have for the first time had S3 fail, OCCT was running and it would not recover from S3, black screen only, I had to reset to get the rig back, first time its ever happend, I will do some testing this weekend regarding S3/S4 and see what I can come up with for my settings and share my results.
please menn........answer my PM msj :(:(:(:(:( I need help with my Overclock :(Quote:

I threw my Q6700 back in my rig tonight and I'm testing it out at 9x425 to see if it can handle it with decent volts and temps. If all goes well, my QX9650 might be for sale. (Not selling because I want to, selling because the CRA just sent me a bill for a large sum of money :mad: because they overpaid me on my tax return two years ago)Quote:

currently i'm in the market for a new CF capable board as my iX38 has some boot issues with 2 cards (every 3rd-4th boot the cards don'T init, fans stay at 100%, no image) but p45 seems to be a bit disappointing (see performance comparison p45/x48 crossfirt).
are there any real benefits of flashing the X48 bios and what is the difference between the maximus and the P5E???, what is the max FSB for 45nm dualcores and vdroop with these cpus???
BTW i use an E8400 which is kinda limited by my aircooling right now and i had no time to test it with my watercooling before disassembling it :shrug:
another question: how hot does this thing get ???
guys i cant sit here and read thru 230+ pages.
are we still on 1201 bios ?
i am happy where i am so i dont really need to update the bios but just curous since an update hasnt come out in a while.
Yes 1201 is still the latest releaseQuote:

1201 only lasted on my computer for about 4 or 5 day. Then I have a corrupt CMOS, and had to restore from the retail cd. Back to 0907
How I do that?!Quote:

I've been trying to get my system stable for some time now, and, while Windows boots fine, I get frequent BSOD's, mostly when resuming from sleep, but not limited to that. I have run the minidumps through windbg, and the BSOD's seem to be coming from myriad, unrelated sources. I have feared for a while that I am just really good at frying RAM with this board.
Therefore, since I just got my mushkin ram back from an RMA and I don't want to fry it again, I was wondering if someone could evaluate all of the BIOS options available to a maximus formula owner (401, 907, 1201, rampage conversion) because I have gotten mixed messages and want to pick the most stable bios out there.
I think centralizing this information could help a lot of people. thanks.
Arlak do you run Loadline calibration on or off ? if on up the vcore a bit and turn it off... this is the biggest source of all BSOD on these boards... secondly for ya ram be carefull as the board overvolts the ram dimms so for 2.0 volts plz set 1.92 or such...

I dont think this chip is going to stay. Its not bad but I'm not overly happy with it, I also just flashed back to a Maximus bios and I can say 1201 is a dog of a bios, WOW is it slow compared to RF 403. Going to flash back to a Rampage bios and retest the chip. I did however only require 1.48 volts for 450x8 on the Maximus bios tho compared to a 1.50 for the same clocks on the Rampage.Quote:

You can just flash back to 0907 with a USB Flash Drive. Put the 0907.bin file on the flash drive. Reboot and hit ALT F2 I beleave. Follow the directions from there.Quote:

I guess I willl fiddle some more, I got a hair across my ass to buy 2x4850's and I wanted a true X-fire mobo, i nailed this puppy for $140 shipped open box from mwave, it arrived with EVERYTHING, look brand new, static bag sealed and all.
perhaps I will try that bios version, I was running Rampage bios for awhile so I have been away from Maximus bios since 1004 , the performance of this bios 1201 is crap imo, slow slow slow is all I can say for MF1201, stability is there or seems to beQuote:
