applogies if this will be considered advertising of any kind. First Uk stock of the Maximus Formula Special Edition arrived just now and thought that someone will be interested: http://www.vadim.co.uk/ASUS+Maximus+...s_1333+FSB-bq_
Limited quantity...
Tekheads have had them in since last week,only one left tho:

its gone a bit quiet on this thread whats your view on this board pinto i can see you have a few different boards , would you say the ddr3 maximus extreme will give more of a advantage over p35 as the x38 was really designed with ddr3 memory in mindQuote:

Have heard same things are happening with E6850 and Maximus Formula. Flashed to bios 0504 but stil the same.
Memset PL works. 9x400 1/1 default is PL10:

Memset to PL7 (lowest i could get for now):

The Q66 clocks rather nice, too bad 467FSB seems to be the max on aircooling:
1.55v bios;

1.65v bios:

Load calibration (vcore damper) stil doesnt work with the latest bios :( Bios set 1.35v and calibration enabled:

thanks loco, that board seems to love the quad, and you know how to tweak the last ounce out of it , i am in 2 minds what to do now i don't know whether to plump for this board my current 975x board is stable at 4060mhz with my e6850 (its crap at overclocking a quad though) and it still performs well so to upgrade and warrant dismantling my rig i hoped for a bigger performance leap from the p35, or wait a month and see what the ddr3 one is like i think the maxfsb on this board is effected by temps as i have seen somewhere its like 60 degrees by default on the northbridge , i am not sure if thats right
thanks loco
I think id wait. Its strange not being able to use the ram. This is best i can do G0 & divider 5/6 although mem can do 625mhz cas 4 easy with only ~2.40v and E6600...

thanks loco still looks good though but i am taking your advice and sitting on the fence a bit longer and seeing how the ddr3 one fares
Hehe then try learning Hungarian... ;)Quote:

Looks like it loves the quad, yes. :cool: DDR3 is prohibitively expensive as of today compared to DDR2 yet offers very little advantage, I think.Quote:

I´ve a question :p:
At 367Mhz FSB, what DRAM dividers do you have?
Thx :D
PS: Also, how is the vdroop in P5E and Maximus?

Looking a bit more reasonable price here , the others are sure to follow

Do you have a .pl link (or a couple) where the 'regulars' are sold online for a good price? (don't understand much of Polish..)Quote:

Anyway, not a lot of testing so far, but FSB is limited by my E6850 at 552.8MHz (approx. same as on P5K & Commando):
http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/9...xfsbrs4.th.jpg
However I did find 2 oddities:
- From BIOS setting 1.675Vcore (1.6V in hardware monitor, PLL on auto) the BIOS gives CPU overvolt errors...
So max validation only @ 1.65Vcore (Hw monitor 1.584V - PLL auto = 1.712V - NB 1.696V):
http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/8...alidsr7.th.jpg
(Max validation for this chip on the Commando @ 1.7V was around 4380MHz)
- At 5:6 I can't get the FSB on or past 500, nor the memory on or above 600.. If I put it on or above I get a guaranteed BSOD, & every time a different 1.
So Max 5:6:

Max OC screenable:
http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/9...584vsi1.th.jpg
24/7 - 1.475V (HW Monitor 1.464V - PLL auto = 1.648V - NB 1.47V)

On a dutch e shop The Maximus Formula SE cost € 248,00.
I am thinking of getting this board but I play the waiting game a bit longer to see other company's (DFI Abit) do there magic on this chipset.
Is DDR3 a real advantage or just keep DDR2. Because DDR3 in a 4GB kit is really really expensive.
