Anyone got a set of 2x2 24/7 at 1100 MHz on this board?

4x1gb at 1160. I think 2gb sticks are not binned as high as the 1 gb sticks are.

Maybe I was a bit too tired when I wrote the instructions

For the first step you need to use Afudos and not EZ-Flash.

AFUDOS 2.36

Download AFUDOS and extract it to desired location.
Copy AFUDOS.exe to the root of USB memory.

Boot to dos and write AFUDOS /iLOADER.rom

When the programming is completed reboot and start EZ-Flash.

Then update in RAMPAGE.rom

can you try 1004 and revert to 0907 using ez flash ?? also does running vista x64 affect anything...

Going to be buying ram for this board... what seems to be compatible right out of the box ? Mushkin has some 1.8v DDR 800 2x2gb kits

**paakkis** · 03-09-2008, 02:55 PM

It works with EZ-Flash also, but only model name chanced

Memtest recognizes 8GB... so it will do 4GB... get 2.01

What bit did you flash? The Loader.rom?

My AVG Anti-virus detected a Trojan Horse in the CPUZ.exe as it initiated last nigh; It quarrentined but not till after some of my .Dll files where corrupted or changed. Now I ger error mesiges all the time.

Thought you guys might want to know!

Prob best to email the guys @ CPUID and let them know...

**~~Grnfinger~~** · 03-09-2008, 04:02 PM

Well I did it

Now all I have to do is get this bios sorted out.
MAJOR settings

**~~Grnfinger~~** · 03-09-2008, 04:06 PM

I just did it Kup

OMG what

load of settings to sort out

to stilt for this kick ass mod

**kup** · 03-09-2008, 04:22 PM

Haha, I just saw! I expect results within the hour...!

Was it easy using AFUDOS?

**paakkis** · 03-09-2008, 04:32 PM

Yep, same here

**~~Grnfinger~~** · 03-09-2008, 04:47 PM

I hope to have something sorted out shortly

I have the cpu back to 4300 now to sort out this ram settings

Easy as hell using AFUDOS, was harder to get maximus to boot from the usb drive

**kup** · 03-09-2008, 04:53 PM

Interesting, Do you wanna post some clock for clock performance comparisons? If it works out to be worth the flash I'll add it to the big thread.

Anyone wanna test Quad FSB on this bios?

**~~Grnfinger~~** · 03-09-2008, 05:09 PM

I think I have to redo the OS, my web pages wont refresh, had to grab the lappy to post here. Crossing fingers its not because of the conversion.
I'll redo the OS and do so comparisons, so far I am impressed, Vista seems to boot way faster and my ram is not overclocked yet.

**kup** · 03-09-2008, 05:16 PM

Interesting? Not worth making a Ghost image just incase? Lets hope this flash doesn't mess up the onboard kit?

Could you not just reinstall the drivers, as per the Rampage support page?

**~~Grnfinger~~** · 03-09-2008, 05:20 PM

Good call, I never even thought to update to Rampage drivers

**kup** · 03-09-2008, 05:21 PM

They should be the same, but you never know if the Rampage updates anything within the firmware which relates to these onboard parts?

**~~Grnfinger~~** · 03-09-2008, 05:27 PM

Well unfortunately, there is only a user manual and a beta bios 207 for download. This is rather disturbing, Everest does not display ANY ram settings. But the plus side is its 30 mins prime stable blend test

**kup** · 03-09-2008, 05:29 PM

Did you do a full CMOS clear and default settings load?

Ghost your OS and try a quick reinstall?

**Wolf** · 03-09-2008, 05:33 PM

It worked great for me. I booted right into Vista 64 after the update.

Thanks Man

I'm running Prime95 now on my 8400 and it seems stable where it was before.

Ram looks like it will .05 more volts to be stable at 1069 555-15. Timings are a little tighter I think.
Unfortunately I have no before and after test...

**zlojack** · 03-09-2008, 05:59 PM

Wow, big cojones! Good luck dude! Keep us posted...

**zlojack** · 03-09-2008, 06:05 PM

This is going to be good... maybe we finally get the performance out of the Formula we've been expecting?

iadstudio · 03-09-2008, 06:16 PM

no turning back now!
