ASUS Maximus Formula SE

[FZ1]

he can't get a screenshot and he gets help.

i post my findings with screenshots and ask for comments and get squat.
Am i in the right thread?? oh yeah, i think i am, i've read all the posts here, i think i'm at the right place.

can't get a screeny goin.... ouch... but he's got a rig to control nasa get a mac dude.

anyway, nice case, i have the same, it's nice, but i can't say it's awesome

i'm trying to get 9x425 stable now, 1hr stable, but not 24. Latest find : Transaction boster is a POS, disable it. Enabled at 0 is NOT disabled. From what i've read it only tightens or loosens memory timings, but i can do that manually. If anyone is reading...........

Maybe i'll just shut up and silently leech knowledge and not give anything back to the board.

Chill. Pulling a 'tude is not the way to incent people to help you. Most of the people in this thread are looking for help as well and doing their best to try to work things out for themselves. Most people who have things working have spent a lot of time and effort figuring things out. Regardless of your setup, no one can give you exact answers. Every rig is different. There is enough info in this thread and a few others here to answer many of the questions you have. No one can tell you why your rig is unstable. It's a matter of trial and error. In fact, what is your question? I can't see where you actually ask one.

drivers for your keyboard

I downloaded drivers, re-booted and they show up on my harware/divice manager. Thank you. The bad news is print key still no-go.

Here is a link for my current setting CPUZ Validation.

bios>power> hardware monitor, scroll down to see volts ect...
or use everest to verify auto settings

THANK YOU

I think I broke something :P

Tell me whats wrong in that CPUZ Validation

nice clock running on NO volts

nice clock running on NO volts

Nah, not that. the Intel X48 chipset :P

[Grnfinger]

Well then congrats on the upgrade lol

I wish I could get my ram to multiply and my NB to upgrade like others have had happen.
or then again do I??

I wish it was a upgrade, but More or less i think its a bug in CPUZ.

You trust your software too much. BTW. HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! May the new year bring faster and faster CPU's and RAM! We'll take care of the cooling :P

Lies....

I know its a software error already :P

Happy new years.

Also, You made be break my 666 post count

happy new year !!!!@ in EU

You see when you know your s**t you can up your chip too

Happy new year everyone.

Ok, using BIOS 0907. I have just been fiddling with a CPU that has a VID of 1.2125v and now I can finally hit 3.6 GHz stable on air with a horizontally aligned TRUE, but Core Temp seems to be showing quite high temps... Core #0 = 77 with the rest being 75c, 73c and 75c.
After an hour or so the temp rises to roughly 80c on the first core even though everything remains completely Prime95 stable.
I can't actually remember if they were this high previously, which is a bummer on my part for not taking notes.

It's only when it does Test 2 on Prime95 that my CPU temps shoots up to 75c-77c though, the rest manage to stay at 70c-73c.
The temperature comparison when considering a 100 MHz gap, i.e. comparing 3.6 GHz to 3.5 GHz seems to make a 3c-4c difference on average.
My NB is now actively cooled with a Thermalright HR-05/IFX and an 80mm and never gets hotter than 37c+.

I've also moved from AS5 to MX-2 because of reading about generally favourable results online.
It was fairly liquidy, but I managed to spread it out evenly and thinly using a credit card; I'm pretty sure my application of the thermal paste is fine because I have done this on so many CPU's now and it seems only until I use the Maximus Formula I notice huge temp differences.

Here is with everything set on auto, I have been looking at all of your posts but I have been to chicken to try anything. I'd like to bump it up to 1600FSB and set my mem to 3-3-3-10.

the Kingston specs on these KHX6400D2UL/K2 say 5-5-5-18@1.8v and 3-3-3-10@2.3-2.35v. I am afraid because this board tends to overvolt.

Any suggestions?

[jorgito05]

Take a screen shot of them up on the screen. Hit the "Print sceen" button (usually above the insert/home/page up keys) and then open MS paint or other prog and paste.
Or use SnagIt or similar screenshot utility.

I'm sorry I was so preoccupied I forgot to thank you for your respone.
Thank You!

I finnaly got things to work as you can see, I hope you can help me with the OC suggestions I need.

Thank's again
Lorain,OH

using 0907 bios now but found out that i cant set vcore more than 1.65v, if i set that my computer will immediately shut off after i see the windows loading screen... does anyone facing the same issue as well??? i m gonna go back t 0903 to see if it has such problem *sigh*

[jorgito05]

Here is a link to my new settings.
I was able to lower the mem timings without having to increase mem voltage.

still scared to up FSB without advice from you experts.

Your temps are almost like mine before I lapped my TRUE + Q6600.
My vid is the same as yours. And now i get load temp about 68c using 1.32v for 3.6Ghz. Beginning to think the IHS has bad contact with the cores.
I´ve reseated the TRUE about 10 times. Using washer and without washer.

Anybody using Maximus Formula SE without liquid cooling NB? Does the temps go too high for overclocking and normal use?

[ReZ_]

Actually transaction booster helps ram alot, and its common knowledge that Enabled 0 is not disabled mode, hence the term ENABLED

good one! didn't thought of that!

But seroiusly this is a great board with alot of really helpfull ppl, perhaps its your attitude thats preventing anyone from responding.
I try to help if / when I can and if I see a post that I can help with I do.

I do understand, but it's a small shame that the span of this thread encompasses noob queries like "i can't get a screenshot".

but that's just me

[ReZ_]

In fact, what is your question? I can't see where you actually ask one.

i did not ask a question on that post.


if you want to help, read this one http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=4672

btw, i'm stable now, at 9x425. Just needed a little more fsb termination.
I will be pushing 4ghz once i rebuild my waterloop. Mine is split in parallel now, and i think flow is not optimized for my cpu.

That's high, but i don't think you will fry anything at those temps, for the cpu.

but that gain (double???) for your NB is quite something! I'd be in fact concerned about it.... Or maybe you were talking about your core temps instead?

I've ran stress tests with my NB on air only (no fan at all), and crashed at 61celcius. I was clocked at 8x450. I've read somewhere that the intel spec is 90c max. true? i'm not sure. Can any1 confirm? max NB temps anyone?

[Grnfinger]

Agreed, noob questions can be frustrating at times when you have troubles of your own and looking for help /advice.
It seems there the ones that always get the answers first, but remember we were all noobs once. I doubt if anyone has ignored you on purpose sometimes questions get lost amongst the noob post's

My NB is on water and it has never seen anything above 45 celcius with room temp about 23-25 celcius. NB was reseated with AS5 using stock Fuzion block. Idle temp is a cool 32 celcius atm

The review from Anandtech on the Maximus reported instability on anything above 47, I think thats a tad off for others have run higher with stability.
