Never heard but it certainly wouldn't be good... can someone confirm this?

I got my hopes up too soon. Good thing I didn't cansle my RMA #.

After much testing it just became unstable even on once reliable v0602. I moved to v0903 (where I had good profiles and results) and all my save (on USB HDD) return a boot block cannot be read error. Same for my v0602 and even one just saved minutes before flashing and coming back.

Again, I can only guess since nobody has made comment on this, I am an isolated case and will just chock it up to a luck of the draw. It was a nice 5 months though. Now I get to start over and now maybe the all so talked about forced FSB strapping will actiually work for versions other then v0602.

I will keep on reading as I will be on my old P5K Deluxe by the end of the week.

From what I've been told, They are replacing any Maximus Formulas, SE or Non-SEs, because they are out of stock and if they can not "Repair" it, They will call me back with options....thats what they said about RMAs for me atleast. right now ASUS is on my list.

Warboy, the RapidShare link is my own. I rehost all the files so I know the links aren't dead.

well, You wanna check the checksums of the 2 files see if they are different?

Identical Checksum, MD5, CRC32 and SHA-1.

There great and the heatsink is very secure. I would recomend them to anyone looking for very good oc'ing ram
Maybe the ppl that had problems are the type that like to "play" with things they shouldnt.
