Maximus Extreme - Results/Info/Bios

**simri** · 05-10-2008, 07:52 AM

This is untested stuffs

Code:

VID VID VID VID VID VID VID VID  Voltage
 7   6   5   4   3   2   1   0   
-----------------------------------------
 0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   OFF
 0   0   0   0   0   0   1   0   1.6
 0   0   1   0   1   1   1   0   1.325*
-----------------------------------------
         x       x   x           Block singnal = 1.6

*Only Exempel

1.187V is not valid volt.

You can test to to block VID 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 BUT if VID 1 is low = Voltage OFF

this ~50% chance this high

Got it working now =) . It booted up sometimes for some sec and i managed to raise the voltage. And now im back with 0905 =)

new bios out 1101

ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socke...treme-1101.zip

no visual improvement in bios tho im testing oc improvments atm.

Strange, I cant find it on the Asus server. Where did you get it?

**fng77** · 05-12-2008, 09:48 AM

Is it a beta?

**Smooth** · 05-12-2008, 10:32 AM

Have anybody tried it yet except of Palme ?

**simri** · 05-12-2008, 11:13 AM

Yes im tested BIOS 1101
With 1101 i can not pass Test #6 (Moving inversions, 32 bit pattern) on Memtest86+ v2.01

Settings: RAM 900 MHz (DDR1800) / CAS : 7-7-7-20 / Dual Channel

Memory: Corsair TWIN3X2048-1800C7DF 2.010v

Works fine on 1007 BIOS

Maybe tighter timings on the NB?

**fng77** · 05-12-2008, 11:44 AM

I´m gonna wait until this bios is official

**Smooth** · 05-12-2008, 11:44 AM

Test #6 ?
It´s strange - usually test #5 ist one where too tight timings quits.

**Warboy** · 05-12-2008, 11:55 AM

I just installed this bios and it seems okayish, Testing it out with my new Q9450

Yes Test #6 5-7 errors and Test #7 xxx erorrs

Did you check voltage ?
Maybe they fixed the overvoltin @Vmem ... so that u have to raise the Vmem...

Cause I got such error just like descriped when my Vmem was too low.

**simri** · 05-12-2008, 12:24 PM

I dont have voltmeter, i set DRAM volt to 2.00v and get 2.024v-2.040v / DDR VTT 1.08
Maybe i have to low PSU OCZ 520W

This is a lot less than before !!!
Befure Vmem was overvolting about 0,08V.

**Smooth** · 05-12-2008, 01:27 PM

Now I flashed 1101 myself :
could not realise any change !
My RAM runs like before - no extra-ordinary errors in Memtest ...
but I´ve got the same overvolting-rate on Vmem like before.

And there is still one thing to mention :
Only 0904 / 0905 are showing me the correct CPU-Temp !
1101 is showing me 7°C

So I think I will go back to 0905 !

**simri** · 05-12-2008, 02:03 PM

Now im test again BIOS 1101.
im test memory in slott A2 and B2 and no errors yet,

Pass completet, no errors, press Esc to exit

Test 3 of 3 done

lol why i dont have tested A2 & B2 before...

Edit
now im test 1000Mhz (DDR2000)

Nice, While testing, It was easier to overclock with my Q9450 after i moved the memory to A2/B2

I have always found the white slots (A2 & B2) to alot more stabe then a1/b1 on my board.

As for the 1101 i am going to wait a bit longer, i have had more then enough issue's with this board as it is, 1007 seems to be working well so far.

Damnit, I wish asus will fix the 45nm 450FSB wall. Its holding me back so much, I wish i had a Striker II Extreme or even a Striker II NSE.

**PalmeAsus** · 05-13-2008, 08:52 AM

45 nm no . It's your cpu or you got a very bad board cause i can go 24/7 stable with 550-560 fsb and that's the cpu stopping. tho i's dual core but i could hit 510 fsb with 1 of mine q6600 without prob.

In the early testing of the 45 nm quads we saw fsb problems.
Many other quads stopps around 450-480 fsb
Greetings.

**AN00BIS** · 05-13-2008, 10:50 AM

O.K., as you ll soon find out, i never overclocked before

but i got my comp configured poorly,i think.

just to remind you, i gots an Intel QX9650, and Corsair DDR1800C7DFIN.
these are the general settings in the Extreme Tweaker section of my BIOS.
which is 1007 BTW.

Memory Lvl. up = AUTO
A.I. OC Tuner = AUTO
CPU Ratio Setting = AUTO
FSB Strap to NB = AUTO

DRAM Freq. = DDR 1333MHz

DRAM Command rate =AUTO
DRAM Timing Control =AUTO

(grey)
Primary Info: 9-9-9-24-4-60-10-5
Secondary :10-5-5-4-7-4-7

DRAM Static Read ctrl. =AUTO
DRAM Static Write ctrl. =AUTO

A.I. Clock Twister =STRONG
A.I. Clock Skew:Channel A =AUTO
" ":Channel B =AUTO
A.I. Transaction Booster =AUTO

NB LED selection =NB Volt
SB LED selection =SB Volt
CPU LED selection =CPU Volt
Frequency LED =Enabled
Voltminder LED =Enabled

CPU Spread Spectrum =AUTO

any suggestions how to get the Memory run at DDR1800, without the CPU running Amok at 4.3 GHz? or do you need advanced settings too?

Just got my 3rd RMA mobo back on Thursday.
Ran for about 10 minutes and now DOA.
WTFO ASUS RMA!!!
Sending it back for my 4th try.
I must be a gluten for punishment.

**Warboy** · 05-13-2008, 08:37 PM

I HAZ FOUND THE SECRETZ OF THE CRYTALZ SKULZZ....

Oops....I mean the secrets of the Maximus Extreme on 45nm Quads.

CPU-Z link in my sig. I'm testing right now to see if its stable.
