So easy to trash a name. Try wearing a ground strap handling your silicon. Corsair has gotten me to 1253. Tested for 1066

OK, I'm having some serious trouble with OCing this board. It doesn't help that I am a super noob at OCing, but I just dont get it. I recently flashed 0219 to my Maximus SE a few days ago, I did use the .bat files, so if that might have caused some problems, let me know.

OK, basically what is happening is I am getting a DET RAM with every OC setting I try. I have tried messing with my sticks, with no avail, I have run memtest, and tried taking the voltage up. I also tried taking the PCI-E frequency up to 112. I have also tried just running a very non agressive OC of 333x9 with a 333strap, and a 667 RAM Speed. I also tried using the other regular settings that everyone else has been getting quad stability with. My proc is a GO Q6600, and my ram is 4x1 G.Skill F2-6400.

I am tempted to flash back to MF1004 and see if I can get anywhere there, although I would like to keep my Maximus Rampage if possible.

Also could I do the mod once windows is booted up under command prompt?

no.

if you want proof just read all of the horror stories people have talked about w/ updating BIOS within windows. (asus update anyone ?)

I get to sit down today and start to work, and to my suprise, my computer starts up @ 333x9 with the settings previously mentioned. However it was extremely unstable, it was still surprising. Anyways, I took Grnfinger's settings, and booted with some little stability at 1.336v. Eventually gained stability, and passed 2 hours of prime with 1.45v in BIOS, 1.436 in CoreTemp. Idle temps about 35 and load temps between 50-55. So I give my sincere gratitude to Grnfinger. My only question now is what do I do next? Also, my VID is 1.2625v, Batch L728A924.
