Good numbers. I think is the 8x500 that gives this extra push for the 10K number.Quote:

go with the 0803 and i think you will be just fine[/QUOTE]
Thanks for update - i'll give 0803 a try.
ThxQuote:

trying out vista 7.. if you have any commends pls post.
Hello, got this problem, the mobo sets vdimm to 1.89V, when i set it 1.80V in bios. If i flash to rampage bios, will it fix this problem? Or will i be able to set lower than 1.8V?
Anybody here with 8GB RAM on this motherboard? I currently have a G.Sill 2x2GB kit and thinking of getting another. What would be the odd running 4x2GB sticks as how the performance compare to 2x2GB? I have my Q6600 @3.6Ghz, will it have any effects on OC capability?
you will not be able to overclock you ram as high, honestly unless you can justify the need for 8GBs ther is no real world benifit in running itQuote:

board overvolts dimms about .8 volts or so, rampage bios will not resolve this issueQuote:

My NB temp is freaking hot already and I'll have to add more voltage...hm..8GB really sound tempting to me but at the same time I don't wanna run into any stability trouble either. :d Thanks Grnfinger, I'll look into it more.Quote:

Anyone have some good manual settings for timings for their 4 x 1024mb Ballistix Tracers 1066mhz ?
help! lcd poster says "VGA BIOS" then it will automatically shutdown. I've tried other video cards but the same output displays :confused:
what changes if any have you made or has this just started on its own???Quote:

Bios could be corrupt (doubt it) but you could do a full reset and re flash the bios.
I would look at the psu if this just started and the gpu will boot in another rig
Also maybe try to reset your BIOSQuote:

Can't even boot up with 3.7ghz.

I got feeling that this is some kind of FSB wall for paring this X38 to a 45nm processors. My friend managed to OC his Q9550 (E0) stepping to 4.4ghz stable with Prime95 torture test and 3Dmark benchmarks but he's using P45 chipset.
here are some of my overclocking screenies and links with my previous Q6600.
Q6600 @ 3.9ghz (Windows XP)

also, my friend let me test his QX9650 on my Maximus Formula and here's the result
QX9650 @ 4.4ghz (Windows Vista Ultimate)

I can run benchmark with 4.3ghz as well.
anyway, back to my problem, is there any way to push the clocks of this Q9550?
Thanks!
X38 is 45nm quad limited there a few rare boards that can clock the chip well but not many, I had the Maximus X38 and a 9550 as well sold the board cause of the wall..if you want to clock that chip higher your going to need a different boardQuote:

I actually don't use the Intel RAID, I bought a real hardware based add-in RAID5 card but thought others might find this useful...
There are no other mods in this BIOS, only the option roms have been replaced...

@necrolyte, flash your mobo to Rampage Formula with bios 802 and enjoy higher fsb speeds by setting CPU Skew Control to 100ps and NB Skew Control to normal. I got 483fsb stable and 496fsb win bootable.
Im having trouble ith this motherboard and a Q6600. Since september last year I have this motherboard and CPU combination running @ 3.5ghz but I upgrded the bios to 0902 last week and have been having prblems since then. So I went back to bios 0803 and put all settings back to default. Then I rebooted and set my OC to the way it was and started Dual Prime95 4 instances.
I had my Q6600 G0 stable @ 3.5ghz with dual prime95 8 hours up until about 2 weeks ago when my machine became unstable. So I thought it was my bios so I upgraded to 0902 but that didnt do anything so I went back to 0803 today and it still wont pass Prime 95 for longer than 15 minutes.

Is this a sign tat my CPU or motherboard is starting to die or is there something wrong with my settings? My CPU reaches 66 celcius after a few minutes. All cores of the CPU stay going except core 3 which fails. I run small FFS test.
What prime FFS test are you failing ???Quote:
