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

[Nuckin_Futs]

I am very interested in these too so I will be glad to help and see what they can do. Please include you reported RAM sub timings (highlighted in primary and secondary sections of DRAM timings). I do know for OCZ on 2x 2g moduals, they like to run a trfc of 50 or so at the same spd of a 2x 1g kit (as so for my OCZ Platinum PC2-6400 OC'd to 1050MHz0 @ 2.2v. Also look at what I edited for stability at 500x8.

Bought this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227299 dropped it into my Rampage rig cannot get it to overclock past ddr800 or I get det ram error. I had transcend axe ram until it died. It worked great was using these settings. Any Idea what the problem might be.

CPU Voltage : 1.38v
CPU PLL Voltage : AUTO Fix to manual as Auto overvolts quite a bit as FSB goes up. CMOS set of 1.5 should return 1.612 for starters
North Bridge Voltage : 1.53 upped this to 1.57v
DRAM Voltage : 2.12 [at least 2.21, 2.24 for 1200mHz is row refresh is set to 50 or 55, @ 42, will need as much as 2.28
FSB Termination Voltage : 1.40, [1.472] this helps with higher FSB on CPU and mob and MCH
South Bridge Voltage : 1.050, [1.104]
Loadline Calibration : Enabled

If anything else, if you could for me, confirm That they do 1153 on a 480x8 in 5:6 (everthing else the same for now). I'd be happy if I can match the performance of my Tracers at same clock and less vdimm. Right now I run 1 set as 1165MHz @ 5-5-5-15 @ 2.24v (row refresh -trfc @ 50).

I cannot speak for the worthyness of hacked BIOS so if all else try BETA v1004 and I can compare notes.

Does S3/STR function at such an oC level or at all in hacked Rampage BIOS, any version? Any word on the RMA experience if modded to Rampage BIOS upon return? Will they know if you can get it back to official Maximus Formula?

i have power to the lcd poster and the sound card light was on i just switched it to s3 in bios and now it is sleeping.. i got the battery out right now, i don't know what else to do.. maybe i will try putting in a ps2 keyboard and see if it will power up from ps2 because i think that is also on in bios..

There bad both sticks failed the hell out of memtest test 6, no to the second question you can flash it back. Also rampage and maximus boards are physically the same. Bios is the only difference.

Was never able to push my 3110 past 425 FSB. Pretty easily I was able to get 460, stability is next. Man I love this board!

Can not even imagine my 8400 on this baby.
