ASUS Maximus Formula SE

[jorgito05]

try re-installing chipset drivers, perhaps? Maybe ACPI driver is corrupt, or something. I think both AISuite and Futuremark's detection use ACPI, but I could be wrong.

I re-installed chipset drivers, no-go. After re-installing AI Suite same thing happens; AI Suite comes up frozzen and stuck on snooze option, also the Asus AI Gear 3 pops up at bottom and is on hi performance mode CPU power 29.66watt. When I try to click off AI Suite it is frozzen, wont shut down, what I have to do is reboot and un-install.

[jorgito05]

Have you grabed the updated AI Suite from Asus Site?
If not try them
Uninstall 3DMark and then delete the registry key then reboot and re-install
it should work for you then

Please explain ho to deleate the regestry key, dont know how.
Thank you in advance.

yes I tried the updated version from Asus, no-go either. again dont know how to deleate registry, please explain.

and Legion455, please tell me you're not talking about the sports drink gatorade..>

no no not really, just a play on words. I'm running nutin but PCPure in my loop!

now back to another question, ... with my current setup
Maximus, E6850, Ballistix PC2 8500, 88080GT (Vgpu mod), WAter (PC Pure),
so far I've gotten up to 420 x 9 = 3.78Ghz with a PCMark05 = 8941
(cpu 9216, mem 7481, graph 16635, hdd 4237)

anyway, should I try to crank it up to 450 x 9, ... or would I be better off trying to get to 500 x 8?

And what about the temps? Which program app. is the most accurate? for the Maximus? and .... is 66c-69c decent for a loaded temp (using coretemp 95.4)?

thanks again guys, ... this group is great. I'm somewhat of an "oltimer" (age = 60) as I starting making Clones back in 1984 and as early as 1985 I was changing the Xtals and running 80286s at 8Mhx instead of 6Mhz ... man, we've come a long way from those days... what a trip!

Nice to have you aboard I was changing crystals on 6502's got them running to 4MHz from 1heh. Things have changed, for the better I would max out your x9 settings first, keep snapshots and records of all your idle and load temps and reference your ambient air too. You could have a nice OC in the winter only to fail in the summer. Hope this helps m8.

I'm really ready for a BIOS that has dividers working over a 400FSB........running 1:1 is killing my performance. I can't run 475 stable.....which would give me some great RAM performance.

XP OS type "regedit" in the run box

Vista OS type "regedit" in the search box

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
expand and go to SOFTWARE right click the "FUTUREMARK" folder and delete

Next go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER expand and go to software right click the "FUTUREMARK" folder and delete

REBOOT

Then reinstall 3DMark it should be golden now

I can run 450x8 on the 333 strap all day long stable

I've just created a small .xls file to help Asus Maximus overclockers. I've made it to ease up everyone's trial & error, single page so no fuzz arround. Just print it, fill it and enjoy the overclocking ! Hope it helps !

I wish you A Happy New Year !!!

When I start AISuite I get the following AISuite.exe error dialog window immediately:

Initial CpuUsage DLL Failed

When I click the 'OK' button on the dialog it pops up another AISuite.exe error dialog and immediately loads the AISuite interface on top of it with no information. The second error dialog window reads:

Assertion failed: m_hLib != NULL, file C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\projects\Ai Suite\Ai Suite\CpuUsage.cpp, line 160

I click 'OK' on that error dialog then I get a third AISuite.exe error dialog:

Abnormal program termination

I click 'OK' and then AISuite terminates.

Any ideas on how to resolve this? I've look around and nobody seems to have a solution.

Are you using the AI Suite that came with the mobo?
If you are grab the new version from Asus

[The Terminal]

Its a great board, well happy with it. Upgraded from my Abit IP35 Pro and Im happier than ever! I got the non SE board running a QX9650 @ 4.2Ghz and prime stable. Awesome stuff.

Does the new version work with this mobo? I didn't think it did

I installed 10317 and still no luck.

[Grnfinger]

I dont use AI Suite (crapola) but I was under the impression the latest version did work

[MonkY]

This version of AI Suite didn't work for me neither, but i can live with it, i guess. Anyway, i've "upgraded" the Excel file, so now you can have one extra column (i realised crazy overclockers always need one extra), and also added CPU/NB/SB temps. Also added some extra cells for writing your infos (out of printable area). Hope it helps you !

Hmm.....do you keep your memory frequency set to auto?
I'll try that....Thanks man

Nope for the 333 strap I use this....

Ai Overclock Tuner : Manual
OC From CPU Level Up : AUTO
CPU Ratio Control : Manual
- Ratio CMOS Setting : 8
FSB Frequency : 450
FSB Strap to North Bridge : 333MHZ
PCI-E Frequency: 110
DRAM Frequency: DDR2-1080
DRAM Command Rate : 2T
DRAM Timing Control: Manual

Never had an issue with this strap,

Followed your suggestion, It was under local but not current user. Went ahead and deleted what there was, and rebooted. The last time I installed it asked me for a key, I dont have it I thought this program was included in the Asus software package. I went to futurmark sight but all I see is buy programs.

Well I'll try that....I didn't think it was stable on anything but auto for DRAM freq.

The key is on the back of the CD slip that the Driver disc comes in.

[Grnfinger]

lol and here I go and get the whole damn package ready.

I have never even looked at the free software that came with the disk
maybe I should take teh time to look at the disk and manual

THank YOU Monky!!!! much appreciated, .... just what I was looking for, ... With this board, there are just too many variables to scribble down, ... definately need your chart! thanks again!
