Not for a quad m8

go here and read instructions for a quad and re apply

ah :banana::banana::banana::banana:,well I allways learn something new... lets see,, gotta apply it once more. thx for the link.

ok so I did it now and I added a 120mm Enermax fan @2200rpm. lets see how it will go.

a few mins in prime95: 48/45/40/42, seems pretty good :)

ok so,, 75 'C isnt lethal to this cpu right...

I don't know how AS5 works but I did that with the tuniq grease and was getting 80C + temps. Just do the slap on and spread with credit card method :P

heh, maybe its the fan then which put the temps down by 20'C

I have tried both cc and line method on the quad, the line method droped my temps 10 degrees...hard to argue with results like that.
Plus if the manufacturer recomends that method, then who if not them would know more?

ok it seems they max at around 55/52/46/48 (core1,2,3,4)
are these still too high @stock with ultima90 ?

Is that with the 92 or 120 mm fan ?

thats with a 120mm enermax @2200rpm

a OFT question here, it used to be "taboo" to plug in 120mm fans directly to the motherboard :), how is it today? is it cool to use the motherboard fan places for 120mm fans.

and yea trying out a slight OC , 9x300 vcore:1.2V, if it works then its 9x333 . Gotta love the bios on this mobo, well compared to the gigabyte triton K8 one.
Why is that when I choose 1T in bios, cpuz shows me 2T?

I cant seem to get my PC8500 Crucials happy with this motherboard. Can someone please help me set the SUB TIMINGS for this board? I had these sticks in my P5K-DLX and were doing great with sub timings set to AUTO, but this board seems to be VERY PICKY. I cant enable transaction booster at all as the system wont post. My ram is currently set to 4.4.4.12 @ oonly DDR1016 with memory relaxed to 1, and she still only posts half the time. Vdimm is @ 2.2. and I know this ram is 100% fine. Im thinking the sub timings are out of wack on auto, so I would like to set some RELAXED sub timings if some one can help me please. Thanks

:rofl: you're post was a joke right?

or is the maximus the first recycleable motherboard, in 4 more months it turns into dust :ROTF:

this is lame. My load temps are 58/55/49/49 with ultima-90 with a ~90cfm 120mm fan blowing in air + 92mm on the other side "blowing out". Vcore is around 1.225v in bios, and if read from cpuz 1.192v... Well good thing is Iam able to run the cpu @9x333 with 1.192v. no point for me to go further as I would have to increase vcore and temps would go above 60..

Eastcoasthandle are you still air on the N/S bridge ? and how did you mount it ?

Any pics ?

Thanks was curious about this and read all over and seems your the only one to say something about after hours of reading original max posts.

Thanks Kup great thread

I use the fuzion block with a d5 pump and 1/2 tube.
I did not find it was restrictive at all. My 8800 is nice and cool so are my north and south bridge. CPU is a tad hot right now but I'm running 3.9GHz atm and my idle is 42 celcius.
I will agree the fuzion block is rather cheesey, I have a MCW30 block might grab another and mount them over the holidays.

GRNfinger,

Let us know how it goes. Is the Extreme ddr3 only ? The Asus web site says "or ddr2" ???

Audio playback issues?

Anybody else having audio playback issues? My optical port plays sound perfectly, but anything plugged into the "supremefxII" soundcard gets some popping and static every few seconds. I tried spread spectrum and that wasn't it. Aside from reloading the audio driver, I don't know what else to do.

hi there

that reminds me of the old days of creative sb / xfi crackles, related at that time with irq sharing / routing problems.

at the time was solved with pci port change for different irq redetection, disable legacy sound drivers on device manager.

course with the onboard sound supreme u cant use other pci port as its unique, but maybe u can try to change the irq port.

If you read the sound card boards, it looks like crackles is still a problem...

why is it that on the first boot screen it only says count: 2 ? In windows it recognizes 4 cores..

maybe 0907 will give acurate temps. 0903 doesn't (at least for me). I'm on 0505 and although it OCs nicely and is stable, it seems a bit flaky.

Gotta test if 0.5 multis are working in this bios...
