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.

Dide, check you PSU - the odds of that actually happening are very low. It ain't no coincedence. I betcha your PSU is under or overvolting badly.

Guys I am new to this thread.

I just built a new system this weekend, and the Maximus was my board of choice, I cant get the thing to boot with 4 stixs of ram, and the thing is changing my ram speeds and CPU speeds without me doing a thing ,everything is set to auto.

When I take out 3 stixs it boots but then freezes during windows loading, it is allso not picking up my ram correcty , it seems to have a mind of its own.

Here are my specs

Asus Maximus Extreme 1007 Bios
Patriot ddr3 ram 1866mhz Viper Series 4 x 1gb sticks total 4gb
Intel Q9450@ stock 2.66ghz
2X Seagate 7200.11 500gb in Raid 0
2 x Segate 7200.10 500gb Raid 0 For Backups
Creative Xfi Fatal1ty
2 GeCube 3870s in Crossfire
Dell 3007 WFP
Cooler Master Real Power Pro 1000watt PSU
Lian Li PC-A10B
It seems this motherboard is not liking my ram?? argggggggggggg

Any advice will be taken onboard.

I just got my RMA board from them too and guess what? Same problem that you're having.

I thought that it might be an over volt from the PSU so I threw in my backup board (P5E3 WiFi Deluxe) and everything was perfectly fine. In fact I've booted with the backup board 4 times already and no issues.

Asus better not make me pay shipping again or I'm gonna raise hell!

Thanks Smooth

I have some more issues, when I up my fsb the cpu voltage adjust to like 1.4vcore and I dont think this is normal is it? what is the default voltage for a 9450 thanks

Don't run your cpu vcore voltage on auto.It ramps the voltage up on it the faster you go.Maually set your cpu,ram,northbridge voltages and settings etc.

Yeah I have noticed this bad behavior, My Gigabyte DQ6 didnt do this, it would hold default voltages until they were manualy set. I dont know the default voltages to begin with ,I dont have a starting platform so base any manual entries off , this is a shame ,has any one got the stock voltages for most of this stuff? and if some one has the default voltage for a q9450 that would be great.

I do notice there is a vdrop so cpuz tells me something differant to the bios, what should I believe?

You can get default core voltages via:
Core Temp -> VID

What is this:
Everest -> Motherboard -> CPU
I/O Voltage 1.325 V
