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

Hi Guys,

I'm running my E8400 at 4050 MHz now and it's almost stable. The problem is that about one in five times the system hangs at DET RAM. When it does boot to windows there is no problem and it's orthos and OCCT-stable for 12 hours. Can u guys help me with the last bit of tweaking? I'm running this now:

North Bridge Voltage : 1.55
DRAM Voltage : 2.20
FSB Termination Voltage : 1.22

2.20 on your RAM might be a little too high (The board overvolts).
I would try 2.12 or 2.14
Also, your FSBt looks way too low, try it from 1.40 and see if it makes any difference

I've been running 4x1gb of ballistix at 2.4v set in bios with fan over the ram. No detram messages. Somehow I think that 4gb may need a bit more voltage set in bios than 2gb does?

Yeah I dont think the high volt would cause DETRAM, but many people have reported killing their Ballistix with high voltage on this MB.

I run 4 sticks at 2.12v set in BIOS for 2.22v measured, and it's stable as far as I can tell.

Has anyone actually done a multimeter vdimm test on this board to see if the board is really overvolting ram as reported in bios?
