Q9450 OC / Temps / Settings

[Zucker2k]

Is what I said..... I dunno what your citing from that, because it clearly says 45nm Quads, and it says there isn't much difference being reported between X38 and P35 overclocking of 45nm chips... If you would like to show me a link saying otherwise,then sure I will take the time to look at it, but what you showed in your few screen shots even say Rampage Formula in CPU-Z except for one.

This is actually the only screenshot that doesn't say "Rampage Formula"



So the point that you either have a flashed BIOS to Rampage or have an actual Rampage, doesnt really validate anything you've said about Maximus. The Flashed BIOS in rare cases gave better FSB with 45nm quads, and in some cases I saw a "true" Rampage Formula give all the way up to a 480mhz FSB.

I havent seen too much with Dualcore 45nms since the hot thing to have/play with is Quadcore.

And the fact you keep bringing up 4x2GB RAM is pretty moot point as well, since all that takes to get stable is increased NB/Mem controller, maybe tuned timings/settings and dram voltage depending on what kinda overclock your working with.... I could say im working on 4x2GB too, it really doesnt mean anything about 45nm clocking, so I dunno why you keep bringing it up like its an accomplishment or rarity to see on X38.

I see this DDR2 1000 "pushed" to 1066.... considering thats not really that far away its not really anything to claim performance from, or that its increased overclocking prowess to get. (still at a loss as to what you mean by this 4x2GB posting)

Also I think you may of misconstrued what I was saying when I said X38 doesnt clock any better than P35... You seem to think I said they werent good at it...when I said 45nm Dualcores will probably hit about the same on either platform in the 4ghz mark, we all know they can do high FSB.... If you would better explain what you quoted the end of my original post for, I could probably better serve you in terms of a conversation.

I'm quoting your own statement to answer the bolded statements above:

There have been limited success in getting a Maximus (x38) over 440mhz.... and I see that your screenshot has a Rampage Formula... is that flashed or a true rampage? Because if its a true rampage I already said they seem to be going over 450mhz with ease.

Even a dim-witted high school kid understands your statement here: You're implying that only a "true" rampage is capable of the shots I posted, when I point you you to the x38 in the screen, you ignore it and come back spitting b**lsh*t. You can't flip-flop on your statement, at least you won't get that past me.

You have also demonstrated your naivete when it comes to overclocking because running a quad + 8GB kills your fsb. You once again shot yourself in the foot because you did mention NB but failed to see how tasking your NB by populating your 4 slots hampers it in high fsb situations.

If you thing 8x533 + 8GB Ram is a mean fit, please point me to a post anywhere in this forum where someone has achieved that, and on what platform?

Finally this is my original post: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=452

Notice how I said, 45nm cpus. Haven't I backed all that up?

Finally, your argument that my Maximus has been flashed with a rampage bios while going against your own statement, makes me laugh. Is this an argument over a chipset or a bios software? Just check out the Maximus/Rampage thread and tell us how many guys/gals are running their systems with the Rampage bios because everyone knows the x38/x48 chipsets are one and the same? In fact, I could simply end this argument by flashing to a "Maximus bios" except for the fact that I returned the board since I no longer have a use for it.

Now, I'll advice you to go back and read all the posts before you make another comment because it seems to me there's a lot you're either misconstruing or simply do not comprehend.

Lest I forget, I'm not the only with a Maximus who is having success with a 45nm quad. Why I should point this out to you, beats me.
