"The problem is when i set the fsb higher to 266"...
Any of you know how I can resolve? thanks very much

thanks for your help, I have now disabled the sensors and the message is gone, for those to which this may happen and are ignorant to it like me, you have to disable all three sensors opt1, 2 and 3, for the warning to stop appearing, first I only disabled the sensors that were giving me the warning message but they kept giving it, I was only able to get rid of the message by disabling all three of them

[Nuckin_Futs]

I suggest to buy a MAC.

Granted they may be the better solution for my media encoding. But I, like many, like to build piece by piece and overclock. But show me a list of ASUS or DFI overclocker mobos for MAC based Core 2's and I'll look into it.

So I guess you are trying to tell us that nobody with an Intel on PC based system can get good media workstations unless you max out RAM sub-timings?

[loften]

maybe try set memory to auto to get the values they recomend then set them all there manually.. maybe try trans booster moderate or strong also..

[loften]

put your mac brain on your asus/intel..then you can have bofff..

[NapalmV5]

worked like a charm.. maximus formula se < rampage formula se!

thanks much!

[icecpu]

Anyone has cold boot everytime you restart ?

[me3850]

ok i find the problem is PL it's crazy only way to work at 400fsb(1600) is at disable 7 on bios is crazy poor very poor performance not good memory...

[loften]

?? can you give me a better idea of what that means ?? QUOTE=me3850;2874207]ok i find the problem is PL it's crazy only way to work at 400fsb(1600) is at disable 7 on bios is crazy poor very poor performance not good memory...

I just dont understand the way to revert back to the MF1004 BIOS if I need to? Can someone please explain this out? Thanks a million

simple, you flashed with the rf0219 right? now you just flash back to mf1004

for instance, you would've downloaded the AFU236U program, put it onto a bootable usb disk,alnog with the .rom file (RF2019.ROM) and rebooted into the usb drive.
then you would have typed.
C:\>AFU236U /IRF0219.ROM /PBNC /N
Rampage installed.

to revert back, put the .rom file MF1004.rom onto the usb drive and do the same as above

C:\>AFU236U /IMF1004.rom /PBNC /N
maximus is now installed



personally, the rampage bios is not for me, i just cant reach my previous 3.4G without raising the CPU voltage. i have tried every setting i can and many combinations of settings.
I still think it's my ram combo, never mind

Hi guys can anyone help me??
I have just built my sytem up and everything is ok apart from when i turn everything off and then try to boot up again the next morning. It seems to start up with fans at 100&#37; but then nothing else no beep and no boot up screen. Now i can press the cmos button and then it will boot fine but why is it not booting when its been fully powered down . I can restart from windows fine and can have the system of for 10 mins or so it it boots fine. It just seems to be when its left for a few hours or so??
I am using bios 0907 and think it could be a bios setting unless somebody has had the same problem.
Cheers paul
PS im using the same parts as in my sig

Does anyone know why the ASUS FTP links are now password-protected?

Annoying...

[NapalmV5]

so ive tested the rampage bios on the e6750 which only ran 400x8 fully stable on the maxi bios @ auto settings.. vcore/fsb adjusted

no matter the voltages anything above 400, unstable/flaky as hell

now on the rampage bios still @ auto settings.. vcore/fsb adjusted.. the e6750 runs fully stable @ 475x8

before, the temps.. especially the nb temp was hotter than the sun to the touch.. now cold as ice.. wtf?!? 20-30 degrees cooler what the bios shows

cant believe this is the same mobo

looks like ill be having fun testing the wolfies now

again mucho thanks! appreciated!

[loften]

ah i see.. that one works for you.. i had so many issues on mine with 333 and 333 strap, 4x1 crucial pc8500 (1066) with all the other settings close to yours just trying to get a stable stock clock with e6850 on air. it was running ok but it would error out every once in a while after a couple hours of playing a game. i went to the 400 strap now at 3.2 and tried ai moderate and it seams to be stable.. i thought for sure it was my memory but now i can run test on it for 8 hours or more and no errors where before it would only go for 10 min. before my first. i pulled my hair out for a month wondering if it was somthing with bios bad memory or somthing other. now i can begin to play with clocks a little more. getting water first though..

I found points to measure CPU PLL voltage and SB voltage. Here are some points:

In a update to my question if i pull the power cord out then plug it back in it will boot up as normal?? any ideas any1...

[xwoodoo]

nvm..

[chawks2]

now on the rampage bios still @ auto settings.. vcore/fsb adjusted.. the e6750 runs fully stable @ 475x8

Now that's a success story.

Still contemplating grabbing one of these mobos open box. Does anyone have any extra MF's lying around, am very interested for a reasonable price.

My E8400 is sitting @ 450x9 w/8Gz on my IP35 Pro, is it worth it to tear apart my whole setup for this most wonderful mod?

Try First 7 multi to see if the boards settings are okay then go flatout with 8 multi... I still had issues with 4:5 divider so eg 400FSB with 1000Mhz ram...
Flash to 1004 bios works pretty nicely with my Q6600...

I never go down on th subtimings as really Intel rigs don't get much boos tout of all these timings.. I prefer higher FSB and ram speed... try ya rams first at 900 then go up... but 4 dimms at high speed might require pretty beefy NB voltages... make sure that sucker is well cooled !!!

Please can someone post the 0219 bios pls as i cant get it.
Thanks Paul
