The Maximus Formula Thread - Help/OCing/Guide/Rampage conversion

[Jodiuh]

They said the driver is from Microsoft...You can either disable it in BIOS(under advanced -> jump free...

I already installed the driver and I'm looking to test w/ it disabled. I removed AI Suite, PC Probe (or what corruption was left) and deleted the ACPI folder, but the device's driver probably still remains in the Windows folder. I'm pretty sure it's one of the 2 devices I've highlighted, but...

Better ?

Can you change the photobucket settings to only limit ya to 1MB files? That should give us full res. Or if it's too big, try picasa's export function, it does pretty good pic compression.

Did no one else try the M$ hotfix for this issue? I installed it, via the Maximus threads (I forget which one) and it worked a treat for the EPU problem.

Grnfinger It's a no go i put my cpu voltage to 1.5 and nothing" overclocking failed!" message.Any other help?

maybe for now set ram to auto ?
I only run 2x1gb so I'm using my ram timing's you might need something alittle different

[Grnfinger]

kup, is that required for Vista as well or XP only?

[KALISPIMENTA]

Now asus probe shows MB @150 DEGREES

[Renegade5399]

You will see it says that in the BIOS too. Power down and back up and that will clear. I had that very same condition.

From what I gather, only XP. I think Vista was coded with such problems in mind, and thus, already solved.

Alright, thanks to Kalispimenta we've got a pic of what dev mgr looks like w/ and wo/ the EPU driver installed. I remember my P5B Deluxe having a ! in dev mgr until one installed PC Probe. After that, the LPC showed up. The LPC Interface Controller's driver is provided by Intel according to the driver details page.

Intel(R) ICH9R LPC Interface Controller - 2916

Guys, from what I can find on the net, this really for AMD chips?

[KALISPIMENTA]

I got my q6600 to 3.5 with the crazy option in the bios.Now, how can i see all my bios option so i can tweak them manually? Some bios when set to auto show the current value but not this one.Any solutions?

[CERO]

Pretty was testing my Q6600 @ 425x9 with 1.368vcore, it runned for 10hours + small FFTS, then I went afk again came back within 1 hour, it was rebooted..... So I upped now a notch @ 1.376, I am going to do the 12 hours mark to be sure...

What does the epu does anyway?

guys anyone got settings for ballistix pc6400 ?? or any Pc6400 d9 chips on this board ?

[Jodiuh]

After uninstalling and checking the box for deleting driver files, I got this on reboot...



Now dev mgr has lost an UMBus Enumerator and the LPC Interface Controller - 2916, but gained a PCI standard ISA bridge. Scanning for new devices doesn't show the unknown device (EPU) either. So yeah...anyone?

[iadstudio]

So yeah...anyone?

What's your question? it looks like Vista automatically installed its drivers for you. right?

Guys, from what I can find on the net, this really for AMD chips?

Yep, and it did not make a difference here. I tried it out when it was first posted, and it helped with stability a bit with specific apps, but did not affect EPU issue at all.

[hiwa]

edit sorry

[ChaosAD]

For 24/7 use shall i be concerned about my temps or my cpu voltage?

[cadaveca]

the temp the cpu can take lowers as you increase votlage, so BOTH!!!

Well, Windows XP x64 is left stranded it seems as the patch only applies to other OS's.
