ok guys, first, I just installed my maximus formula(from abit ip35-e) and have the rampage bios installed. have not re-installed vista, everything seems to be okay without a fresh install.

first question: speedfan is jacked, all over the place. is this b/c i'm running rampage bios on maximus or b/c i need a fresh os install?

second question: if speedfan just has trouble b/c of the bios, what temp monitor program should i use? i was using core temp for cpu cores and speedfan for pwm and northbridge.

lastly: what are the actual benefits of running the rampage bios on the maximus?

thanks! you have no idea how excited i am about the board. my q6600 g0 was limited to a 3.42 on my abit ip35-e with a hot pwm and northbridge with only 1.395 bios volts to get there. hoping to change all that.
