Asus Maximus 2 Formula P45: 670MHz FSB with E8500 !!!

[Traxman]

I become from Asus France one Maximus 2 Formula last week



It's my picture

First, I test with my E8500 and my E8400 the FSB with watercooling (same as aircool).
I was surpsised when I saw tha I reached 640Mhz on screen, and be able to do SuperPi 1M at 625Mhz.
I just give 1.42V to the NorthBridge, because more will decrease my FSB.

Then, I put my E8500 under my 2-Stages (made by Skrims-Fr).
In the first run, I reach 660*8 with my E8500. But, in touching CPU GTL, I just get 670MHz FSB !!!

Amazing isn't it ?



Asus ROG was really not the best to get high FSB, but this Maximus 2 Formula prove that Asus is still working on it

Very impressive on first results with mobo is OC's dream wait to see more, thanks for sharing

btw. keep pushing it, need to see first 700MHz FSB

[overcrash]

I was thinking of buying it next month, now I am gonna buy it for sure, my CPU is FSB carving.

I am still blown away by the fsb levels from P45's couple of threads here with some awesome fsb levels. Will anyone hit 700mhz?

[SeLecT]

Nice board and score!

I'm looking for more results!

[boblemagnifique]

Good result bro , sexy Maximousse

[makaka]

Go Go GO for 700 Mhz :-)
Nice results

[manyga]

[MomijiTMO]

Holy crap that's awesome!

670mhz ? not enough i want 700Mhz Trax, go on.

Seriously, it's really impressive. We where stuck on 650mhz with Commando, now we have much more, thanks intel !

I'd say we should also thank Asus for this one

Finally a more reliable mb than commando with ddr3

Formula = DDR2
Extreme = DDR3

[BlueAqua]

Damn, I want one of these. Any idea of when it will be available at a site like Newegg?

Very awesome results, finally something better than the Commando.

[PaRn ssR]

Oh awesome FSB , Great Mobo for WR

[Traxman]

Thanks all

This motherboard is really impressive and really easy to clock.
vFSB, vPLL, vSB are set in the defaut setting to get 660, the vNB was 1.42V.
To hit 670, I need to play with the GTL and vFSB

Congraz guy,
and which bios did you use?
I had used 0503 test E8500@ aircooling,finally i just got 560*6
maybe something wrong setting I did

[Bullet92]

Insane
Last 3-4 days the XOC subforum is burried with amaizing FSB's...

This one is really, really good. Nice job man, for ASUS and Intel too.

[Harshal]

Second time in the day, Crazzy FSB
Good work and as we all say, keep pushing

[pippo369]

Hi Traxman which Pl you use for this imppressive FSB?

[MXdeFunk]

in the specification it support DDR2 but why in this test you can use the DDR3???

or they change the spec?

[Oliver]

Impressive work...

But also shows Sams words about its not cpu, but board thats holding ur back and open up for ur chip...

Keep tearing it up...

[Chri$ch]

its DDR2, CPU-Z shows it wrong.

[MXdeFunk]

okay thanks

[Extera]

Nice result guy's, I really love P45, what can you reach on higher multi's?
