Alright mate, thanks for your input.
I promise thats last OT word...
I generally use dvd-drive for audio cd ripping (I love to listen to the music but I travel a lot- unfortunately my laptops dvd-bluray-xray-and whatever more formats it supports-drive is too slow and lacks audio data cache), sometimes for the games that need dvd to play (it's much easier then all that deamon tools stuff) but mostly to be able to reinstall my OS, which I'm right about to execute.
Thanks.
audio CDs => download mp3sQuote:

I personally would easily live without DVD drive...
Thanks It is up. Didn't realize I had 2 id's on this board boxer9999 and boxerQuote:

But considering using the usb for the OS installation- thank you for your suggestion, I really didn't know about this possibility. I'll try that one today (fortunately this method is legal in my country uff:)).
Any thoughts?Quote:

Flash your board with SoLoR's BIOS 1002-R3 or 1002-R4. These revisions have the latest CPU Microcode for your CPU and should improve stability.Quote:

Thanks Alien Grey, I'll head for on of the Optiarcs available at the moment. Guess those modern copys manage proper CD ripping. Hope soon get rid off MSR fails with new SoLoRs bios.
It could be a CPU issue too, reaching the higher tiers with 775 quads usually requires a fair amount of fine-tuning with GTL reference voltages, clock skews and straps. If I remember correctly there was a direct correlation between VTT and the CPU's GTL values which were different between the 65nm and 45nm quads. A quick Google search should find you the calculation for the GTL values based on the VTT.Quote:

All of a sudden all DDR led and northbridge led lights are on and stay on when I booted today. This is after booting successfully for 3 years. The indicator says "CPU INIT" and does not change. I have been running OC of 4.50+ for a long time that I dont remember my exact settings. Can someone please help.
Thanks in advance.
Try taking out your RAM and putting it back in again, same goes for reseating your CPU and also check that your Graphics card has not come lose, in fact I would check the graphics card FIRST and then the RAM. then finally the CPU.
If all of that fails then as harsh as this sounds you may have to press the notorious BIOS default switch, but before pressing that see if you can boot with ONE stick of RAM.

Tried all of that and stilll showing all lights on. Maybe its time to replace the mobo. Its more than 3 years now.
I don't think that the board is dead. I think that you've got an electrical short or maybe the CPU is dead or there isn't enough power to run the CPU . If you're using a watercooling you could check for leaks and blow out the dust out of your case.Quote:

460MHz is max I can reach for 24/7, for 465MHz I'd need higher then 1.40V for both CPU and FSB Term Voltage, which is too much IMHO.
I guess these high numbers already are because of my CPUs low batch.
Unable to set LLC "disabled". Simply can't do, LinX stops upon error after few seconds run.
DRAM Controller and Channels Voltage set to "Auto", because it gives me about 0.4-0.5 GFlops more in LinX.
CPU and NB Clock Skews respectively 200 and 100 delay, for stability.
1002b-R4 bios is simply great, allows me for little higher frequency with same voltages, adding more stability. Great job, SoLoR.
Alien Grey, thanks for your last setup, I mainly based mine on it, especially considering DRAM Timing.
So I run LinX for 1.40h, because this is max time I usually spend working with my PC.
Unable to add image to the post: error 500.

i dont know if my problem is isolated to just me, but i am only able to use R0. i have tried R1 thru R4 and it causes problems with the intel raid. seems like a problem only when the controller is in raid mode. I currently run three intel 40GB SSDs in a raid 0 array.
The only diagnostic information i have is that with R3 i got this right after the raid initialized right under the CTRL + I message: "Internal Error - PnP and PCI BIOS not present". On R1 R2 and R4 i either got artifacting and a hard lock when the raid initialized or any drives connected to the intel raid would not show up on the boot list. They did show up in the BIOS in the bootable device list though.
Am i doing something wrong?
Having some strange FSB termination issues. Board doesnt really want to boot with more than one memory stick, and even with one it is hit or miss. When it does boot and i cant get as far as the bios, it shows FSB termination as Red and down at 1.088v or around there. If i raise it up it seems to respond better but its very temporary, as in eventually it wont boot and i give it a rest, temps are all good and i'm just trying to get it to run stock speeds now, i tried two different processors, various ram and two power supplies all with the same result. Is this board just dead?
Have you tried resetting the board?
Yeah I've tried everything I can think of. Reset cmos. Reseat CPU. Swap out cpu, ram, change ram slots, swap out power supply. And also I tested the CPU ram and power supply on an old p5w dh deluxe and they all worked fine.

Then yes, it appears that your x48 has lost its go.
Most likely. The only thing i havent tried is to try and remove/reinstall the board to make sure there are no loose screws or standoffs. I have it limping along now with one 1GB memory stick (its favorite) all at stock speeds. Got a Sabertooth 990FX on the way to hold me over i guess until more 2011 intel chips and cheaper x79 boards are out.Quote:

If you're interested in Retro Gaming and you would like to play your favourite arcade or console games you should have a look at the Dingoo A380. It's a cheap Chinese console that comes with a lot of emulators to play your favourite retro games. You can buy it from China on eBay. It has 4GB internal storage and an external MicroSD slot. The best thing is that the internal storage on the Dingoo A380 is also a MicroSD that can be replaced with a larger MicroSD.
I've bought one and upgraded it to 32GB. Enough space to store every single game ROM. ;)
Anyway if you're interested and would like to have hours of gaming fun and hours of discussions check out the Dingoonity Dingoo Technology A380 forum.
P.S.: Did I mention that it should be possible to overclock it to 500MHz. :D
^Or one could just get Hyperspin for free on your current PC.
Hyperspin is a beautiful front end that allows you to have an infinite number of emulators and all of your favorite games. It supports joysticks and game controllers and if you tell Windows to boot directly too it, it even has a way to launch PC games.
The Dingoo A380 is a portable multi media device. My computer doesn't fit in my pocket. :D
It has support for two wireless controllers and also has support for multiplayer games.
Oh that's cool. Have you seen the Pandora? Specs
http://openpandora.org/images/stories/start/3.jpg
http://openpandora.org/images/stories/start/4.jpg
I could buy the Dingoo A380 with 2 wireless F-16 controllers and 2 X SanDisk Class 4 32GB MicroSD cards shipped from China for €172. That's a lot cheaper than the OpenPandora.
The firmware on the Dingoo A380 is Dingux (Linux) and can easily be modified.
Yeah, but the Dingo performs sluggishly with 3D games.
I knew that before I bought it. It doesn't matter for me. I'm happy that I can play the MAME, CPS1, CPS2 and NEO-GEO games on a handheld console.
I cannot install INTEL RST 11.x series. I see SoLoR having 11.5.0.1109 but cannot install them having the message
'The Computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software'
I have 10.8.0.1003 on Windows 7 x64
Its awsome that this thread is still alive, tho barely :D
Ive gotten 4 or 5 solid years out of my board, its been good to me :)
On a side note I have to kick the crap out of my 9550 with vtt to get it to run at 470fsb. Im at work right now, but Im pretty sure its getting close to 1.55v, with droop its showing 1.45v, nb v is sitting at 1.55v, and vcore is low at 1.35v. Im running the 266 strap, mems are doing good at 2.14v. Id have to be at home to see exactly what I have for settings, its been a few months since Ive done anything to it heheh.
I just kinda wish I had the ddr3 version since I have so much of it :shakes:
11.5 is buggy, im currently using 11.1.Quote:

well back in the days i had SLI certificate in bios, however i removed it later because i heared you also need hacked drivers to get it to work and certificate by it self was not enough.... no idea what this hyper sli key is....Quote:

Soundmax has such option and when enabled it and restart then in "Sounds" you can see Default Communication device HD Headphones.
So in that configuration you can have different sound level than from back panel.
Edit: found newer drivers that can separate the front panel sound (headphones)

Hi, I have a Maximus Formula soft modded to Rampage Formula with BIOS 0902 currently.
Portal 2 causes my system to hardlock with sound looping.
When rebooting Windows it lists hardware ID 18 and WHEA error in event viewer...
The system passes Memtest86+ and can do 500 passes of LinX, and it is otherwise fully stable.Code:A fatal hardware error has occurred.
Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: Bus/Interconnect Error
Processor APIC ID: 0
I am considering trying one of the modded BIOS files but I could not find any info on what is different in them?
I.e. what differentiates 1002b-R0 > R4? http://hotfix.chris123nt.com/Asus.Ra...mula/Bios.MOD/
My system has 4x2GB OCZ PC2-6400 2N800SR2G memory modules

Did you make peace with ASUS?

I spend most of my free time with my retro gaming console. It's the same old story. No support from the manufacture and almost no support from the community. So what do you do?
You make your own custom firmware. You should check it out. You might be interested and find the old Alien Grey from back in those days. :D
Anyway it's good to be around here sometimes to check out how you guys are doing.
You guys, sometimes im missing the time we had together with our x48 :D I think we had a good team back in times... I hope sometime in the future we will have the same again and have some fun together again :D:toast::toast::toast2:Quote:

Hi all :)
everyone that asks questions about moded bios... belive it or not, my computer with Rampage Formula mobo was without power supply for 4 months :) i will finally fix it this weekend and i will see if there are any new modules and other stuff to add in to 1002 bios, if there is ill release it next week or ill reupload R4 version somewhere...
Awesome SoLoR i'm look forward to it :)
Nice!
here is R6, not much changed just updated Intel raid module to 11.5.0.1582.
Thanks SoLoR, been looking for this :up:Quote:

I also tried to install them manually with no success.
versions I tried: 12 beta, 11.1.5, 11.5.0 and 11.5.2
Should I go back to bios R3? Where can I find it?
dont know why this happens, i dont have RAID anymore so i didnt really bother with intel drivers on Win8, i noticed i cant install them (AHCI ones) so i just kept MS drivers. However after quick look inside .inf of 11.5.2 drivers there should be support for RAID driver (PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2822&CC_0104.DeviceDesc = "Intel(R) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller" ), however support in AHCI inside .inf seems to be missing in all 11.x and 12.x drivers (device ID that should be there is PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2922&CC_0106)...Quote:

If i had time, i could mod the drivers to install the 11.x, but then i will not be sure, if it will cause any blue-screen somehow one day ! :)
I think the risk it is not worth it, i think no new features will be get in our old hardware!
well i tried this but win8 64bit is complaining about invalid signatures like little baby and i have integrity checks for drivers disabled... Didnt put any more time in to it then 3 min, i think there is a way to mod driver, just dont know if its worth it....Quote:

it does not have AHCI drivers, but it does have RAID driver... you can also try to run controller in RAID mode, it suppose to be same as AHCI + ability for RAID, bootup is that sec or two slower since bios needs to initialize raid controller but do you really care? afaik even intel recommends raid over ahci even for single drives....Quote:

So basically for the first two cores i have 4.05ghz 1800 fbs 10x multiplier but for the third and 4th core its all the same exept 8x multiplier so its 3600 ghz.
I actually believe that both of these cores are under clocked. I went to the bios and checked to make sure i had everything set correctly. it was. All the cpu features in the advanced menu is disabled, but i don't have an option for intel speed step.
I am going to downgrade the bios. to 1001 to see if it fixes this problem. I am just asking you what you think the problem is. I tested my scores in 3dmark vantage cpu and i get 1500 respectively, last run i got 14970. I believe this is a tad lower than what i should be getting making me believe that cpu z isn't lying to me.
How is this even possible?
I am not new to overclocking. I would think this is impossible. how can two cores be stuck at 8x. I feel i can't do anything to make sure besides a bios downgrade. I am running solors r6 bios. I recently got this qx9770 for really cheap. thought why not, just upgraded from a dual core lol.
Ok i fixed it. I had to downgrade to 1001, intel speed step option was no longer listed using the modified bios. Downgraded to 1001 and it was listed again. Not to sure what the problem was but when i disabled it all 4 cores were back to 4.05 ghz.
Weird, i have to check that option if is on my 1002 modded bios with dual core 8400
Hello!
Bios 1002b-MOD where can I download it? Rampage Formula X48
here I even updated raid option rom couple of weeks ago, hope it works (didnt tested it :))
updated: not avilable
I can't believe that this thread is still alive after all this time. :)
It's also great to see that SoLoR still cares to update the modded BIOS. It's been a while since I've tried one of the new modded BIOS on my ASUS Rampage Formula. It's going to have to wait for a little longer because my graphics card died and I'm still waiting for my AquaGraFX watercooled Inno3D GeForce GTX 760.
I'm wondering if my ASUS Rampage Formula with Q9650@4.05GHz is going to be good enough for a GTX 760.
hehe :) well im still using rampage formula, i found out that since i stoped playing games, computer from 5 years is still good enough :D however i dont update bios frequently, i updated bios one day when i was bored and had nothing to do... however since i dont use raid anymore, i didnt test it if it works properly... it boots in raid mode, so it should work, but im not 100%.
Yo guys,
it seams like this thread will never die.
@Alien Grey,
are you planing to get a new system beside your GTX 760?
I would build a new system if I could find a sponsor. :DQuote:

I can confirm that 1002b-R8.ROM works fine on my ASUS Rampage Formula X48 board. I don't use RAId so I couldn't test it.Quote:

maybe one day i should go update microcodes and all that other crap... just dont really know if they are new anyway and kinda dont even feel like it :) its old mobo, i think we cant improve much on it...
It's an old board but it's still good enough.Quote:

With the BIOS installed a 3TB Seagate HDD shows up as 801.6GB in both IDE & AHCI mode in the BIOS. (746.52GiB)
Is there any BIOS that can address HDD's above 2.2TB for the Rampage Formula? (Mine is actually a converted Maximus Formula)
It would appear the issues I described in my previous post is only a cosmetic problem, the disks can be accessed.
Edit: That being said be extremely careful with standard IDE mode, it may corrupt the drives when you write over the 2.12TB barrier!
Of course per my usual luck the LSI 8704ELP RAID controller I have does not support drives above 2TB in size. :(
Tried using the mainboards built in RAID5 but that wont play along with the LSI card, I still need that installed for my Seagate Cheetah 15k rpm SAS drive.
The system simply hangs after POST when the system is supposed to boot, there are some strange characters output on the screen. (See below).
If I disable the RAID orom (i.e. switch to AHCI or IDE) then it boots fine.
And if I remove the LSI card then it also boots fine.

Is there an option in LSI Configuration Menu to disable boot option for this card ? Or any megacli command ?
Also, are you running latest LSI bios ?
