ASUS Maximus Formula SE

[ElEctric_EyE]

Now we have no more NEW Maximus SE's and all that's left is open box. Prepare yourselve's for waves of BS! I still think this board has alot of potential, I think it was built for experimentation which we all are doing in a fine manner here. Hell, 1800MHz on the FSB is awesome! Ifeel used though, but oh well, I knew it was limited edition, that is limited production. This will be the last best DDR2 Motherboard around and I hope ASUS continues to support it's base of loyal customers. Any company that sticks with bleeding edge only is on the dying edge IMHO.

BIOS 0903

Went from 3.6GHz (9x400) to 3.69GHz (9x410). I still have some fine tunning to do with the voltages--I should still be able to drop the CPU, DRAM, FSB, & SB a notch or two.

400x9? I had the QX6700 and it was just barely OK to 490x8. 4GHz was a snap as 400x10 for that one bu I wanted higher FSB. Although my P5WDG2 then was cool with multi of 4:5 for DDR1125 as 4.1 as 450x9 in 4;5 devider. I dont have it anymore but wonder if it would do a tad better on the x38 li my Q6600 that was bearely able to get to the same 480x on the 975X.

I knwo you guys dot really like 11 and high FSB, but can you try it on a 1:1 to see how much FSB it can get w/ a 1.7v + PLL and FSBT of 1.5v? I am curious if they can go voer 500FSB like most of mine did so far. My only that didnt stable out at 500 was my older E6600 (495x was it on 975x). Oh ya, this , or my mobo is good t0 540x (2160FSB) with the right CPU (E6300). So it is clear, that it is the quads holing us back on FSB. My E6750 is sable onlt so far to 515x.

Nope, my dual-core does not like high FSB at all. Trust me I've tried using 1:1 a while ago but unless I jack the CPU voltage beyond 1.5V I can't clear 415MHz on a 9 multi. This is why I'm happy to have hit 410MHz on a 9 multi with a vcore under 1.5V. If I were to use 1.55-1.6V w/ ~1.7V PLL & ~1.5V FSBT I could probably hit 450MHz but since I'm looking for a 24/7 set-up I'd like to stay below 1.5V vcore.
Thanks for your suggestion though.
