I don't really see how the temp problem is really an issue. We all know that the temps it reads are bogus, only the Core temps themselves are to be beleived!

And as it turns out, this time around I seem to be getting the problem. All I've changed is that I rebooted...? Seems like a dodgy reading to me...

**thelawns** · 11-20-2007, 09:49 AM

My processor was reading 22ºC earlier, its only got stock cooling on it and i've o/c by 1ghz... Can't be right.

Hi,

does anyone know, how i can check the regular vDIMM-voltage on the board?

I had reported about my problem to become 4x 1GB Corsair XMS26400C4 stable.

Now i have overvoltet the vDimm. I have set 2.120@BIOS -> PC Probe reports now 2.19V under load and 2.12V when idle. I will now check the regular Voltage an the Board, but i have no information where are Point of + and -.

cya,
Cb

PS: @Moment i run Prime longest Time with 850 MHz @ 4x1GB :-)

1.2875v according to my CoreTemp.

@kup

i see in your signature, your are running the same memory config. How much vDimm have you set to become a 100% stable System?

cya,
Cb

its basically the same bios with a few fixes
and im surprised your not getting the same temp issue as in 0701, I still have it with 0802
lucky guy..

What temp issues? My temps didnt change, if your looking in BIOS its not actually what CoreTemp reads which is usually right.

I have the 0602 Bios version and I look for flashing my motherboard with the last Bios version, what is this temp issues wich you said?

Tons of people have mentioned it already including on the ASUS forum. The bug adds an extra 20 celcius on average to the overall CPU temperature.

I know but I guess it kind of just IRKS me
im going to stick with 0602 for now

Hi. ill get the new asus maximus.... rev. 1.03g one of this days, but if you look at this: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=669218
aluminium cooler it say's R.O.G, but on this one:
http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/revie...ng-review.html

its just says asus, but what are the difference between does to? and is the 1.03g the new rev.?

**Darkstormz** · 11-20-2007, 11:34 AM

ne1 got a 0802 SLIC bios ?

found it http://forums.mydigitallife.info/sho...?t=814&page=87

Ok, thanks.

**JohnMike** · 11-20-2007, 11:45 AM

I got this board today. I see that are a lot of bios around, witch should be the best?!

I will run a Q6600 G0 on it.

Regards

0802 is good !

**devilhood** · 11-20-2007, 12:08 PM

Yeah, actually 0802 seems to be giving better memory results upon first inspection

**Eastcoasthandle** · 11-20-2007, 12:27 PM

What's the deal with those adapters that fit on the barbs of the NB waterblock? There is no threads and no clamps...how the heck do you get those 3/4" and 1/2" adapters on and keep a tight seal which prevents water from leaking?

Could you post your bios settings?

**Darkstormz** · 11-20-2007, 12:50 PM

I cant seem to find the Intel Matrix Storage Manager 7.8.0.1013 that is mentioned in this thread. Anyone got a link?

Maybe its a typo and the guy means 1012 ?

it comes with clamps/converters, everything you need is included

**binormalkilla** · 11-20-2007, 01:08 PM

So the general consensus is that 0802 is a good one, eh? I'll be flashing it tonight.....I haven't been too successful with my motherboard POSTing over 400 FSB..

I am not sure I understand, do those adapters go inside the barb that sits ontop of the NB waterblock? Or do I need to buy smaller tubing?

Can anyone provide pics on how this works?

Depends on your strap/frequency (keep in AUTO for 1:1 ) settings as well as the RAM you have and it's timings, volts and sub features. For instance if it's good DDR2 w/ stock cl4, should be good to DDR1000 @ 500FSB (for the 1333 CPU's the Auto strap is fixing it to 333 cause of the devider you now get). Keep Ai Clock Twister to light or auto for testing, strong w/ Read Control nabled is stressfull memory. Mine just became unstable till I added more vdim or loosened timings. I ended up w/ Ai Twist to Moderate. Do try to use Static Read Contro (Enabled) as this will improve amooth strapping at higher FSB like 500.

For multi, stick to a 7x or 8x when getting closer to 500FSB till you get it where you like then fine tune. I found 500x8 was a butter zone for these E6750/E6850's in 1:1. Although I did get 5:6 for DDR1200 stable.

Keep us posted!

I think it really depends on the type of OC you're going for and especiall the CPU, RAM and CPU:RAM ratios you want.

For the profile in my sig, 0401 to current showed no major difference. In fact, at that profile, I believe v0602 showed better ram scores in Everest. Although, I was on an older, but estabilashed up to date OS RAID from my P5K Deluxe.

As for the guys struggling for those out of sink CPU;RAM deviders and especially for quad CPU's , I guess the newer BIOS is addressing this. I do notice if I try some 3:4, 4:5, or 5:6 deviders at igher FSB, it seams to be more stable once it's up and running. But getting it dialed in at CMOS is much more buggy cause of the manual FSB strapping and RAM frequencies.

Those are my findings, let's see if we can confirm from Quad users at nominal FSB with deviders.

**Sgt. Slaughter** · 11-20-2007, 01:47 PM

I am installing the Max SE with Vista 64 and 4 gb of ram. When I get to the point of loading the raid drivers (extracted driver from Asus CD to floppy) Vista cannot find them. I have tried 3 ribbon cables flipped the ends to make sure it is connected correct and no luck. What am I doig wrong and where can I get the latest Intel drivers for the ICH9R?

its built for 3/8" tubing
but if your using 1/2" tubing
then it would be

block -> 3/8" tubing -> 3/8" to 1/2" converter
and they also include a small piece of 3/8" tubing for you
