Which mosfet coolers are you guys using?
HR-09S type 2
or
HR-09U type 2
thanks

**Gunlance** · 03-09-2008, 06:28 PM

I have one of each. The slant for the top most set of mosfets and the upright for the one near the i/o panel.

**ericab** · 03-09-2008, 07:31 PM

i'm really excited about this, and am seriously thinking about taking the dive. keep us updated...!

**FlimFlam00** · 03-09-2008, 07:43 PM

Stilt this is tight man, good work. Risk taking and innovative thinking can reap big rewards. just glad it was you that tried it, and not me.

**kaiden** · 03-09-2008, 09:19 PM

Awesome thanks Gunlance and ericab

**s0lid** · 03-09-2008, 09:54 PM

Actually that would work with any board with AMI bios

MAJOR settings

Well done!

Had doing this any effect on the voltage options for cpu pll for you? (i.e. are you able to set lower values than 1.5?)

I had a couple of problems with Maximus this weekend so i removed thermalright cooling and put the stock something back i just changed the "chewing gum" from the spreaders with an MX-2 but .. in Load the NB is 55 - 60 and NB is 52 - 56, the Mosfets are around 45 - 50
And it's sitting at thise chipset heatspreaders as tight jeans on Pamela Anderson ...

That's not funny, i had 48 on NB and 42 on SB with HR05 SLI/IFX, and HR-09S type 2 + HR-09U type 2 on mosfets 37 - 39. That's a big change .. the only + is that now i don't need to be so extremly carefull when taking the MOBO out of the Case but seriously hose temps with stock suck

The NB is only +0.1 V up. Any thought's or i just shouldn't care until it works
[ I won't take out the MOBO out until i get a new case i accidentaly bought the Gigabyte 570S need the 570 without S ]

Btw what's the VID for Q6600 1.225 or 1.175 ?

**p2501** · 03-10-2008, 12:21 AM

Awesome idea stilt!

Maybe someone will post benches to see if it's worth doing this.. in fact, I wonder what good things will happen when the Rampage BIOS matures..

**ante_ante** · 03-10-2008, 12:36 AM

Maybe a dumb question but must ask

If i do this rampage mod, can i only use rampage bioses afterwards ?????

As I understand it you'll be having a Rampage Formula afterwards (the only difference being that your Rampage then has a x38 chipset instead of a x48

), so yes, your BIOS flasher won't accept anything but a rampage BIOS.

**DirtyShady** · 03-10-2008, 01:37 AM

I search some beautiful logos for Maximus Formula to change with AsusMyLogo.

Because defaut logo isn't nice. Anyone could make me a very good logo look like the Maximus Formula Package ? with little "G" logo, littel "Intel" Logo, etc...

Same style, fonts, etc... ?

A better logo it could be official

**~~Grnfinger~~** · 03-10-2008, 02:21 AM

UPDATE

re installed chipset driver from MAximus CD and all seems well.
Everest is normal again. Bandwidth is so /so but I have yet to get my ram back up to 1147. currently 1:1
3dmark score is 500 points higher than maximus.
CPU needs a little less volts 1.37 now instead of 1.38.
Everything is looking real positive

**peebi** · 03-10-2008, 02:21 AM

Can P5E flash bios turn to Rampage
And Can P5E flash bios turn to Maximus How?

**~~Grnfinger~~** · 03-10-2008, 02:29 AM

Well so far I can say it looks like its going to be worth it.
A few bugs with everest and stuff but nothing that couldnt be sorted out.
Bios is insane with ram settings, Trans Booster is totally redone with alot more options. Going to do a clean install ( maybe not needed ) just to make sure everything is setup properly and then will start comparing volts and benches.
Did a quick little run and I have a extra 500 points in 3dmark, and cpu needs a little less volts to be stable.

**andyr(uk)** · 03-10-2008, 02:29 AM

I am very tempted to give this a go , can you confirm that the way to do it is now correct in the instructions in the first post , thanks

**Viss** · 03-10-2008, 02:32 AM

Thanks for the update Stilt

Now all we need is a bios for high FSB with Wolfdale

**Viss** · 03-10-2008, 02:37 AM

Could you please check FSB with your E8400?

**~~Grnfinger~~** · 03-10-2008, 02:58 AM

I hit a wall at 4500@1.45 on Maximus.
I will test today and find the max, my everest bug is back however so maybe after a fresh install all will be sorted.
Everest seems unable to display any ram information, ie Speed, FSB Ratio ect.

**DirtyShady** · 03-10-2008, 03:12 AM

Anyone could make a better logo for Maximus Formula SE for MyLogo (boot) ?

Please.

**Renegade5399** · 03-10-2008, 03:40 AM

Grn,

Please keep us updated as to how this goes. I will attempt this tonite.

Now, all you did was put the Rampage BIOS on a USB stick (or similar) and used EZ-Flash?

**Viss** · 03-10-2008, 03:45 AM

Renegade have a look here.

**sepol** · 03-10-2008, 04:48 AM

Is the loader bios made only for maximus formula and not working on P5E ?
because there`s no way i could flash mine.....
