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

[Leeghoofd]

I've seen people here running 3.6 @ Q6600 (8x 450) with 1.4V on NB rock stable with low temps.. that's why I though my NB is a RMA candidate...

I have tRFC set to 55 (I have nothing auto @ memory timings)

FSB Strap to North Bridge : 333 --> I belive you don't understand what this is and how it works. Auto gives you more ratio's to choose from @ DRAM Frequency... I am using 5:6 so strap 333 +it's more bw

DRAM Static Read Control: Enabled --> Enabled gives me more BW @ Everest cache & memory bench...
Ai Clock Twister : Auto
Transaction Booster : Auto --> Disable releax level 0 << why should I?

Did you want to lower Nb voltage or not ? well go looser then on the memory controller... and I love to see peeps here mess with timings and co ... Can you tell me what that extra bandwith gives in apps or games ??? pretty much nothing...great for benching and co... it's either the way you run it now or another way...

You can put 10 boards to one another , each board is different in setup (meaning the little details or tweaks) so is each CPU... you can compare and try other settings but did the other users run it at stock like eg you or did they use aftermarket cooling... other ram... My Nb was integrated in the loop ( SE version ) and it never got over 50&#176;C at 1.65volts... did you replace the TIM onder the NB ? Most of us popped it and scraped that freaking Asus stuff off...

And I messed with Maximus SE from day one it was released, I know the board... latest bios however I used was 0907 you guys might be on later rev already or rampage bios... I ditched the board asI don't like boards that tend to overvolt stuff (CPU PLL, RAM voltage, NB voltage )and undervolts FSB termination voltage and it ate twice one of my Gskill 2Gb sticks... I sold it and the current user is pretty happy with it...

No I haven't replaced it as I heard about troubles with taking off the radiator (his). And well my setup is air only, so I can't match your NB @ 50C at 1.67V... btw. more bw is never bad
