hmmm that's interesting I also found a new maximus bios 1302, I think it's a beta not sure though:

RELEASE THE FSB :)))) give us the power ;)))
Good find, I don't know if your syntax for flashing is wrong though :shrug: Try these steps:Quote:

Afu236u /i0701.ROM /N /PBNC
3. Wait till the process completes, and you're prompted to reboot.
I also found this way of the command, with the .exe extention:Quote:

What about the bios directly from intel?

That's a different board.Quote:

I was wondering if they actually fixed it.
new bios and no one will comment on it:shakes:
i know i keep hitting F5,lol
Any thoughts on what would cause my USB mouse and Keyboard to lose power occasionally? They are both plugged into the back ports of the Mobo, port 2 and 3. They power off for 1 second then repower on. almost like a reset or something, but nothing else is affected at all.
Also guys I just flash the new 0701 and thought I had my settings backed up for bios... im a newb.. please someone with a Q6600 G0 and ballistix tracers PC8500 post their bios for me plz plz.
NVM. I seemed to remember them in my head once I started going through it all. I just started to panic while the bios was flashing. So far stable on 20 mins prime
I'm on 0701 as well now. I have a NB block coming tomorow so I plan to start this OC from scratch, w/ a properly cooled nb and see if I can keep my volts down. I'll post results as I have them.
Any suggestions guys? I'm just going to take this one slow like Zucker2k said and pay attention to what my board does as I move along. Right now I'm at stock with:
1.18 fsb vtt
1.34 nb vcore
1.18 cpu vcore
I plan to see how far these volts will take me and just go from there.
well. 0701 looks to be a bit better on the voltages for now. I haven't testes for stability yet, but I managed to boot at:
430fsb
1.18vcore
1.5nb core
1.33 fsb term
PL8
With 0601, I wasn't able to boot these settings. I'll keep testing and see how high I can get the fsb with these settings if they prove to be stable.
Can someone redirect me to the flash utility that i can use in vista 64?
Thank You
The one in post #1 of this thread works fine for me.Quote:

I'll put on my NB block and see how much NB stability plays a factor, but the same fsb walls seem to be in place. Next stop if this doesn't work... 0308.
Okay, this is bound to make some people jealous..... another first on XS :cool:
Mandatory cpu-z shot; 8.5 x 500 (4.250Ghz), 4x 2GB DDR2 1000

Some Everest bandwidth action, DDR2 1000, PL8 8GB ram

Some priming action...

This is doable on bios 0308, but I think the higher TREF was causing some issues. Anyway, testing continues, so far no hiccup :up:
:(((( that's bad news maybe I'll try this 1302 for maximus then, otherwise no point for me to change from 1207, got stable 3.655 :(only sigh!Quote:

hope to hear something Monday, maybe I can squeeze a Rampage out of them.
Anyways impressive as always :up:
Thanks mate, I need an EO Quad badly; maybe Santa has something in store for me this christmas ;)Quote:

Yes I did a quick test on 440x8,5 - 471x8,5 :) - 450x 8,5 with no luck this same thing the bios boots but the windows splash hangs, tried strap 333 400Quote:

nice one :):clap:Quote:

The Asus Maximus II Formula Intel P45 is a nice thing and it's cheaper here than rampage formula but the ICHR10 is an issue with mac os x and I need it :(
although I wonder how it works with Q9950
as I wrote above:) same thingQuote:
