ah k cool so I guess I should enable it. I was just playing bf2 and got dropped from server b/c of "Unknown Windows API Function". Think it could be b/c of vcore droop on load?

Problem by board keeps asking for a password to enter BIOS, even though none is set, I can not seem to locate a way to tell it not to ask for either BIOS or Normal, I see no option to never ask and its annoying to have to press enter (as there is no set password) ever time I want to get into BIOS. Any idea why this is happening as I have not setup security or even when to the option before it occured?
Thanks,
ERIC
please try "load optimized defaults" from bios, and then configure pc as you wish. If this does not work...well...seems you got a setting stuck in bios no matter what you change...like I did...I had to force the board a bad overclock to get "CMOS CHECKSUM BAD" before settings I set in bios started to really stick.
I don't know if it's related, but might be. The board reseting to "default" clocks after setting bad settings that would not allow boot was not enough in my case.
Anyway, always best when you first get a board to "LOAD OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS", befoer doing absolutely anything, and doing the same after flashing a fresh bios is a damn good idea too.
got mine a few days ago,I ll report soon.
I contacted ASUS, and no one knows what the hell im talkin about....they dont even know a new revision exists.....asus support is crap.
Who is Jason, and why cant he disclose the differences in the revisions?Quote:

OT: Go Pack!
:( wow, it turns out this mobo is worse than the p5w64 for my pos qx6700
same old issues, but now its worse, still no 400fsb, far from stable
hopefully the e6600 will do better
B3 quads do not like 400 fsb for some reason, try 425x8 or something.
funny sometimes @ 350 gets nasty
i did boot into windows @ 450 and ran 4 threads of memtest for a few seconds,

im gonna concentrate on 450 w/ better cooling now
thanx
Hey guys I'm running into some problems here... What kinda voltages should I be throwing at my q6600 B3 to get 450fsb and 1066mhz-ish on the memory? Any help on the voltages for CPU PLL, SB, and NB would be very useful too. Been out of the game for awhile in laptop land and don't have much experience overclocking core 2 duos let alone quads on a new mobo.
Wow nice temps there! Your name is very fitting. :rofl:
is there a setfsb or clockgen for this board yet?
What BIOS are you on, any problems clocking on Maximus is largely due to the infancy of the BIOS.Quote:

GAR, my friend, got the memory, thanks. :cool: :up:Quote:

I just got my Maximus today but haven't had a chance even to start with my new config - WC is a pain when you have to rebuild your system: first bleed out the water into some bucket, then start taking it apart, when you're done (long time when you have so many blocks like I do) then you can start with the actual PC.... PITA! :down:
Anyway, I'll have some time to build it on Friday so I can do some testing during the upcoming weekend... we'll see I can hit the 4 gig mark or not... :cool:
What's the latest firmware and what should I pay special attention to?
PS: never mind, realized 505 is still the latest...
Maximus Formula BIOS 0505
1. Add new CPU uCode to support new processors
2. Revise wording used in BIOS
3. Adjust NB Voltage max to 1.85V
4. Enhance DDRII-1200 memory compatibility
5. Finetune Loadline Calibration control code
6. Add LCD Poster Mode item
I normally dont trust anythings application of TIM... not to mention I like to make sure everything is right....Heatpipes took a lil to get them off.Quote:

Can anyone confirm the voltage readings this board is giving?
Awsome, enjoy man, the new revision is a few posts back, on page 32-34 somewhere in there..........wich revision did you get? its right by the 1st pci-e slot, where it says maximus formula right under it to the right.Quote:
