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

[ante_ante]

Just notices that the new maximus formula has FSB 1600Mhz while my old one only has FSB 1333Mhz , do you think the new 1600Mhz will perform better in fsb overclocking ? Planing to for either a new formula or a real x48 rampage

I wouldnt think too much different. The origional Maximus always did 1600~2000FSB out the box on first BIOS. It was CPU and dram tweaking that bottlenecked it. So if you're using a quad, not likely gonna see the FSB max of any of the current mobos. E6300 and E6850 users will see more of that then any of them.

However, it is showing that Quads can perform on lower FSB but tight NB timing, the trd "performance level".

My personal experience only really showed score increase, but not so much real worl gain over the traditional FSB OC, provided CPU can do it. Not to mention stability, mobo and chipset really need to be cranked up to match that PL tightening.
------------------

OK, it would appear nobody here can confirm, so can anybody link to info on the conpatability of real RF BIOS downloads v/s the ones posted here as to if they are actually different? I mean can the real ASUS RF v0403 be downloaded and hacked flashed to the MF, or is it spacifically written (hacked) to do that?

Aslo, any word on if we can hack the BIOS ro jsut flash for new P5E3 Premium for use of multu CPU GTL_Ref on our MF?

I believe it is the flags used with the engineering release (and the need to use the engineering release) of afudos that facilitates the conversion, not the actual BIOS bin files.
