ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[CryptiK]

Of course this is the most annoying bug...

My board is capable of doing up to 0.15 VNB-VTT. Should i consider myself lucky...?
Have u tried higher than 101mhz?

Yes I hate this problem, when I need higher vNB to bench SPI32M, it always locks on reboot, then turns itself of, and reboots and hangs. After a power off reset, BIOS has been cleared. If I set 1.25 Vtt I can use up to 1.40 vNB, but my cpu does not like high Vtt, and makes it unstable needing more vcore and GTL tweaking to be stable, I can run 4GHz stable on 1.10 Vtt. I needed more vNB to be stable, but to raise vNB I had to raise Vtt, which made the CPU unstable. This problem almost ruins the board. and seems to be restricted to the M2F, boards from Gigabyte, DFI etc don't do this. Only Quad users seem unaffected as they run around 1.25 - 1.4 Vtt anyway.

I did once try higher, I can't remember what it was, I think it was 103, and it refused to POST.

New personal best O3 run, after tweeking cpu/nb GTL's.....

Nice score, those cards pack a punch when run in crossfire.
