Ok first number on Residual<Norm> is 1.547420e+008
2nd number is 2.575707e+008
3rd number is 1.141571e+010
Numbers are alot closer then they were last time, but i enabled Dram Static Read Control. In the BIOS it says that when it is disabled it might enhance Ram OC'ing abilitiy. have you noticed higher results with it disabled? Going to try it now
Ok, i disabled Dram Static Read Control and the numbers are
6.592619e+009
2.880379e+009
1.044944e+009
See how off they are? Cant seem to get them good :(
try setting PF to 9 and your Latencies to 5-5-5-15, I also use 2.00v here for my g.skill DDR1000 to run at 1066MhzQuote:

Tried PFL at 7 but wouldnt post. hung at Det. DRAM
Still tweaking.
Passed 5 runs of IntelBurnTest at lvl 1 (Maximum)
Good to hear your making progress:up:Quote:

fyi Det Dram hangs are just a wrong PL setting for the strap your on
Update
ram timings tightened to 5-5-4-12. going steady so far
I just had to jump in and say.. Grnfinger, that block looks like it was made for that board with the contour of the mount and the voltage hardware on the mobo. Extremely sexy looking!:up: I hope everything works as good as it looks.:)
now try to disable static read control and set AI clock twister to ligh to find out if u can increase some MhzQuote:

Im at a 333 strap, the next step is 1105 and thats proven unstable. 1153 is 266strap lowest setting. Im fine with 912 as i can make the timings so tight its insane. 5-4-4-12 is stable so far. going for 4-4-4-12. if thats stable i'll try to further lower them.
I lowered my common performance level even further to 8. im going to try 6 in a bit once i get 4-4-4-12 and we'll see. REALLY impressed with this board and the way it handles my ram. 780i sucks compared to this.
Ok, another update.
5-4-4-12 proven stable. Moved on to bumping the FSB to 465 equaling to 3.96 on the CPU and 931 on the ram. .06 extra Mhz on the CPU and 10 extra Mhz on the RAM and i didnt have to touch any voltages. VERY happy :)
ThanksQuote:

Priming now but I keep getting random cores failing:shrug:
no those temps are about correct.Quote:

4ghz on air just the GHZ alone,, that will give you temps about in that range...
the 10deg was only for the early E8xx chips.
i have not seen anything about bad temps with the new ones.
you guys did this the last time you posted a link.. learn how to post links pleaseQuote:

Sorry
Yeah, the Apogee GT looks like it was made for that board.
Anyway, after a day and half of fighting with the board I came to the conclusion it may be defective, probably why it was returned. Anyway, I put my Blitz back in and now I have both sticks running and I am able to oc my chip to 4Ghz with little effort, got to love when things go right. So, that being said, thanks everyone for the help, unfortunately the Maximus just isn't for me. Even with all the great info in this thread I kept hitting a wall and I just don't have the time to mess with it anymore.
Again, thanks for all the help,
Utnorris
408 is sweet:

Nice! im running 3.92 @ 460FSB. Computer never felt so fast :)
Could you share your exact memory settings breakdown?
Mine are:
Memory Speed @ 912 (5-4-4-12) 2T Command Rate (1:1 Ratio)
Clock Skews @ Advanced 250ps
DRAM Static Control Read : Enabled
AI Clock Twister : STRONGER
Common Performance Level : 8
This is on a Maximus / Rampage Formula running the 0308 BIOS.
407 is really fussy for me. Have to set my RAM timings manaully on all straps to be able to use the 1st RAM speed. If I use the 2nd higher speed, I can leave it on auto and boots no issues. Getting alot of blue screens but now that I'm doing it manually it's not giving RAM errors etc...
Don't know if it's worth trying 408 - think it just hates me end off - 308 was so nice.... why can't it have nice E8600 support :'(

0408 BIOS has given decent stability to a couple of people in this thread.
I love the 0308. By the time i get my E8400 E0 stepping chip they'll be 2 more bios releases
Can somebody point me to the right direction to find the best bios config to setup 4x1GB of memory ram?
post your current settingsQuote:
