Finally Running Some Marks
Been messing with the Maximus. I'll post up some shots and BIOS setings in a bit.
First off I dunno if I should trust the BIOS info on the voltages...if it is corect the Board has a lot of Drop on the Vcore. (.05 at least) and overvolts the NB and the DRAM pretty drastically.
I started off using some refernces I had for theCPU...as I know it will run 4.1 at about 1.58 and spent the past 8 hours fiddling about seeing how low I can keep the volts.
I am very impressed with the Benchmark results from the Maximus...it easily bests the DFI LP UT T2R...the extra bandwidth in the PCIe lanes is probably the key.
Been running the first test with RAM in spec (1066 or thereabouts) and the GFX stock.
right now 9 x 435 seems to be a sweet spot...I can easily pass all the Marks without insane voltage.
The CPU and NB are liquid cooled so I can push a bit.
Proofs and other data to follow :D
