ASUS Maximus Formula SE

[DMight]

Thank You Grnfinger and sdumper, those settings are OCCT (30min Auto Blend) stable for me. I'm going to keep tweaking and see what I can adjust.

Anyone else who's able to post BIOS settings for 450x8, I'm interested in seeing what kind of variance there is between everyone's stable settings.

Im a noob here and I hope this isn't too off topic, but I see that many of you here have experience with the Maximus Formula. I am currently looking to buy a MB and I am leaning towards this board, but I would like some of you gurus to help me out. I have narrowed down my selection to these 2 boards. Which one would you choose?

ASUS P5E or ASUS MAXIMUS FORMULA Non-SE

Can anyone give me their own thoughts on either of these? Also, do you know if the QX9650 will run out of box on these boards?

Also, anyone running after market NB and SB coolers on either of these boards?

THANK YOU!!!
