Hmm...interesting. So you removed the actualy CPU retention clip from the board. I should check that.Quote:

AFUDOS is a little complicated for me so I'm still trying to figure out a way to flash using AFUDOS with a dos bootable USB stick. I did managed to make a bootable usb stick with afudos 2.36.exe file and rf0219 in the root directory and typed in the afudos /irf0219 /pnxx /xx i can't remember and it just keep on saying bad file name...any ideas guys?
Does teaming NIC's actually help even though you are on one router/cable connection? I wouldn't think it would as it would be putting more overhead on the router and cable modem.
Maybe you need to type out the full file name with .rom or .bin extension?
the full file name is RF0219.ROMQuote:

the correct syntax is
afu236u /irf0219.rom /pbnc /n
assuming your using this version of AFUDOS
Could you please post your findings on this subject, still looking for any feel /difference when using it.Quote:

thanks...
flashed two MF now to RF bios 219. works fine.
i testing the bios settings now.
Perhaps your question was overlooked or misunderstood
I was under the impression it was REAPER not ripper
And you will have to supply more information than "not working unless set to auto"
What do you mean by not working????
Yeap its the REAPER series.

that ram is rated 5-5-5-18 is it not?
you might want to relax the timing a bit
get trfc off auto 50 or 55 would be a good start.
NB volts will need more than auto will give it, 4GB is hard the NB I would start at 1.49 and adjust from there
FSBT 1.40
SB 1.050
Do you have 2x2GB or 4x1GB?
2x2GB Kits.
And i had them at 5-5-5-18 and still it didnt work.....
again what do you mean by dont work?
What does your lcd poster say?
It just stays stuck in

or something like that.
so its not the ram its your bios settings

Yes you're right. The file name is AFU236U and that's the version of the ES AFUDOS I've downloaded. I just realized that I was too anxious to get it to flash so I made a typo of 0218 instead of 0219...Quote:

I personally don't think it matters which mf bios you've before you can flash to the rampage bios.
1. Please refer to the 1st page in this LINK and read the procedures on how to make a DOS bootable USB flashdrive.
2. Download the latest RF BIOS as of today: RF0219 from this LINK
3. Download v.2.36ES AFUDOS progra from this LINK
4. Unzip both RF0219.rom file and AFU236U.EXE to the root directory of your DOS bootable ready USB flashdrive.
5. As with all bios flashes; revert your BIOS settings to default and reboot your system with the USB flashdrive sticked in.
6. Upon rebooting; press F8 while posting and select boot from your USB flashdrive.
7. Win98 screen splashes and you're in DOS mode with C:\>
8. Type the following and make sure you don't make a typo like I did from the screenshot:
C:\>AFU236U /IRF0219.rom /pbnc /n
*Note: NOT case sensitive.
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...ramisu/RF1.jpg
9. When finished...reboot system...select all settings to default in BIOS and reboot again. Do a full clear cmos procedure.
10. Congrats and good luck OC.

So.. If I flash my Maximus Formula bios into Rampage Formula, if I don't like it, I can back to Maximus Formula bios ? Another one question.. Which one better Maximus or Rampage ? :shrug:
depends on what you got, your processor... apparently the mf is better.Quote:

I would have to disagree with you on that.
The 8400 plays very very well on the Rampage bios
I would recommend it to anyone who owns a 8400 and a Maximus board
But I can back to MF bios ? If I'm flashed RF ?Quote:

Now I'm going to re-seat the Fuzion and see if it has any effect... maybe I used too much TIM.
The other possibility is that I used the Thermalright Ultra-120 backplate so maybe the block isn't as tight as it should be against the CPU. I might have to put the Fuzion one back in there. (That wouldn't be until I get my SB and Mosfet blocks in and dismount the board)
EDIT: Looks like it was the mounting! I think I went overboard on the TIM (that's why you shouldn't mount a CPU when it's 4AM!)
Idle and load temps are down by about 4-5. Still a discrepancy across the cores, even though the CPU isn't that uneven (I checked it again).
Initially in my first few days of testing, I did say that. I found little difference using the basic bios settings.Quote:

here are generic teaming install instructions from another forum:
------------------------------------------
Download the latest drivers for your NIC(s) and install them.
You should remove the cable from your NICs, the IP addresses. Team the cards, you will probably want to set them up as SLA.
The driver will create a virtual nic called Teaming, this is the NIC that grabs the IP but requires you to plug both NICs into your LAN.
I just did it. I'm in!
Time to start playing...
did what ? MF --> RF ?Quote:

we all experienced this... you really gotta play with the bios to see what is gives you the best performance then you will love it after you figure out all the tweaks. :yepp: :p: :up:Quote:

So basically a free upgrade :) Now let's hope I can bring my OC to a new high.

It's either me screwing up mobo conversion process or there's some new thing in the BIOS I don't get yet.
God I hate to sound like such a noob but need advice on pushing an E6850 past 460FSB.
I think that just might be the limit on the E6850's I have as I've tried on a few boards now.
Currently trying with the Maximus Rampage conversion on a 1.03g board (BIOS 219).
I'm trying to keep under 3.6Ghz due to cooling at the moment and more interested in trying to push FSB for memory performance.
I'm testing out some Patriot PC28500 2x2GB sticks and trying to get to 500x7 or 533x6.
Same here. I just converted my Maximus Formula to Rampage Formula bios and my old stable settings on the MF won't work as well. I, too, am getting alot of DET DRAM hang-ups. Right now, I'm just running on default till I get a better handle on new settings.Quote:

You can try the flash method I posted above and replace the RF bios to MF bios of your choice. Type in the same command with the change to the MF bios name. It should work.Quote:

However there are more finer tuning options in the RF bios to help users squeeze a bit more bandwidth before the next unstable configuration.
It will take a lot of your time to find the exact best stable/performance configuation with all the extra fine tuning options that Asus has ever had to put in a bios. Prepare to reboot a lot of times and run countless everest benches to find the answers the usability of each finer options.
I think RF bios gives me much less DET RAM occassions than MF bios. I'm currently benching at 470FSB * 8 at performance level 7 and NB volt set to 1.67 in bios....yes it does need this high to even use OCCT/Prime95 to bench. Quad 6600 G0 at *8 multi does put a lot more stress on the NB than stock *9. Those of others who has 45nm e8x00 will luckier in OC in this case....I hope the new 45nm Q9x50 with its 8 or 8.5 multi will be more likely to bench stable at 470+fsb.
What sort of voltages are people needing to run 470fsb on a dual core?
I'm coming from a P5B and P5K, which both did 470fsb with 1.4V NB...so am I being too conservative on the voltage?
enable all pull-ins and set PL8
you will get better bandwidth and latency
Good call but that's essentially set PL7 and dissable all pull-ins.Quote:

Compared to PL7 disabled, PL8 enabled is faster

Can someone give me a complete list of changes for the memories ? Considering that they are not maxed out at 1066MHz ( I wanted 1:1 ratio ) so they are running at 890MHz......
Ideas ?
your L2 cache bandwidth is much higher than mine, yet mine has almost twice the latency. Is this because you have a wolfdale chip?
http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/7914/cachememtp7.png
yeah 8400 are not that great on L2 and you also have a 69% OC
I thought it was the bus speed and not the % oc that mattered in terms of cache speeds and latencies.
Anyway that doesn't seem to slow them down as they are faster clock vs clock
My account finally got validated. I've been following this thread for a while now.
The Rampage 219 bios defintely allows for a high FSB OC on my Q6600 G0. Previous best was around 425FSB, now I can pull over 480.
I'm still working on getting everything as high as possible but stable. Right now 480 x 8 with PL=6 seems to be the sweet spot. I can get the CPU to post at 4.2GHz, but it's not stable.
Thanks to everyone involved in this awesome mod. Can't wait to see some new BIOS to play around with.

Been here since a long time ago but i rarely ever post...I just watch :)
I am getting help over at OCZ Forums as well as here....This mobo is somewhat weird...
Can someone help maybe with my crucial ballistix pc8500 rams.
Having hard time to get them stable over 1000mhz. I know these sticks does 600mhz + but when i´m setting it in bios i only get DET DRAM. Any clues what i should try out ??
DRAM Voltage : 2.00 ??? why not 2.10V for that ram? From what I've seen that ram is rated at 2.15V (depending on circumstance)
how do i use asus bios recovery (asus crash free) when nothing appears in screen? its the black screen of death... if you have other way please help :(
* Double Post *
Attach and insert asus CD or floppy (with autoexec.bat doing bios flash) and see if it starts reading it :)
Well i am running them at 890MHz and not 1066MHz like they are supposed to run so i lowered the voltage.
Also isnt 1:1 ratio faster than anything else ?
not work.. i think the boot sector already dead too....
Thanks for the reply, XtremeTiramisu!:)Quote:

I wanna get this right in terms of flashing back to MF.

You need the "i" in front of the mf0907.rom
also what's all this /pbnc business? I just use /n and it works fine for me.

Hey Gurusan, I tried your method and Extremetiramisu's method and I can't flash back to MF bios.Quote:

*edit
Never mind...I got it to work. I didn't know you weren't supposed to delete the RF bios from the USB memory stick. Whelp, I'm back to Maximus Formula bios! Home sweet home!
And Gurusan was right, you don't have to type /pbnc--just /n will do! Thanks Extreme and Gurusan for the responses and help! :)
Thanks for that :) Seems to work right now. Any difference of using either blue or white dimms ??Quote:

And i have never tried the blue ones lol!
I was playing with FSB (water had 4-5C:D ):

But it is quite interesting, that if I set mother board voltages too high, I can't past even 500mhz.
What are your settings for benching?
the switches are there for a reason, good idea to use themQuote:

Afcourse not! (that would be extremely pathetic:eek: This voltage vas only for further overclocking (4500 super PI, on water- afcourse I've used higher voltage for that)
It needs 1.57 (bios) for Prime95 small FFT stable at 4ghz:D
Nice fsb for a Q6600:up:.....it is obvious he was aiming for FSB and i think those volts could backed a few notches tho.
ah thanks for that!
On a further note, I've just reached 467fsb with my P5E running rampage 219 bios.

not bad for a 110 quid shipped board :)
very nice !
now is it stable?
running OCCT for 9 min now and going....we'll see.Quote:

bahh it crashed right after I wrote that....just set it back to my previous stable of 462mhz which still isn't so bad. I've had enough messing around for the night....Got a craving for some CoD4 now :)
hiya m8 , I am fine:D come msn if u r there:)
need some help:
Q6600 G0 (consider it STANDART batch) at 3.6ghz, 450x8 (trying 3.8ghz stalble 24/7)
maximus formula BIOS 505
4x1gb Crucial Ballistix 1066mhz, Brand new, still in sealed box :D)
it's one-sided memo's
hope my X38 don't kill them...................:(
wich timings, Vdimm, and AUTO things should I do?
just need some @1100-1150mhz stable
should I try multi X9 on cpu? wich would sound better?

Gurusan, You are going to want to reflash the RF BIOS. Your still showing as a P5E on your mem bench. It should say Formula Rampage. You probably didn't flash with all the correct switches to do the NVRam and bootblock which is probably what it being used to detect the MB. It might also maybe help get it stable as well, but I don't know on that front.Quote:
