ASUS Maximus Formula SE

[Zucker2k]

This is good for bioses 0802/0902/0903 (These are the only bioses I have tested so far and haven't bothered with earlier bioses, however, it should work for all bioses so far released). Also, it may NOT work for you due to hardware limitations. Goodluck.

System Specs.:

Maximum Formula Rev. 102G
Q6600 GO (Low vid. of 1.2125 - needs low voltage overall but heats up quickly as you increase voltage. If your vid. is anything higher, you may need to add more vcore to be stable)
4x1GB RAM (2GB Team Xtreem 6400, and 2GB Corsair Dominator 8500s) If your memory is not capable of DDRII 1100+, then you may want to change to the 1:1 divider by lowering DRAM frequency to the next lower level in bios, in this case DDR II 900 (noobs)

Note: I'm watercooling my CPU, Northbridge chipset, and Southbridge chipset on the same loop; in the following order, Pump -> CPU -> NB -> SB (CPU->SB->NB should be best but I had design problems )

OK.

This setting is OCCT/P95 stable for me at 8x460 also, except with slight changes in vcore.

All these settings were good at room temperature (72 degrees). Hope this helps. Cheers.

Edit: I call these settings GREEN as all the chip monitoring lights stay green due to no excessive voltages.
