ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[Left]

I'm about to order the Maximus II Formula and would like to know if this memory would be good to use in the board ? If someone could please reply I'd like to order it today thanks for your help and as always great advice.

I'm hoping the answer to this is yes? I have the 2GB pack of that Dominator 1066 memory. Got the Maximus II Formula from Newegg yesterday, waiting on my TRUE 120 Black and Enermax Magma 120mm fan to get here today.

Here you go

Is this a BETA BIOS or official one?

[BenchZowner]

Beta.

[X2beach]

Thanks Bench, I am having a Rought time with my new pc1100 Gskill and this board maybe this bios will help

What maximum FSB can be attained with a E8400 ? I would need 580 Mhz.

And a second question : what is the heatsinks height, around the socket ? Indeed, I use a phase change cooler and the evaporator head may be hampered by the heatsinks.

Initial Test...OCCT stable.. rams untweak still..
voltages very similar to biostar T-Power I45
difference is.. this is stable with 4870 crossfire

Interesting board...

[Datektrader]

8 hours stable orthos. the pc probe is about 10c higher than realtemp, not sure why.

so now its time to try for more

[WhiteFireDragon]

can anyone confirm if the x-fi card included with this board can be used for other mobos too since it has all the ports and optical slot right one the card? also, does the sound card have to go on the black pci-e x1 at the very top or can it be place on the white pci-e x1 in the middle?

for some reason when I updated my bios to 0701 it just totall frezzed when it restart, I mena it is not even running the bios logo the monitor just black out for about 2mins I just turn it off (Afraid it will be on fire again) so I keep trying to restart it but nothing happen and I thought it became a brick, but after it's off like 2 mins I can turn it on and now it is running. Will that be a problem?

So whats the ruling here guys ? What does the Maximus II have over the P5Q deluxe other than price ? Im keen to see how the P45 runs with a 45nm quad , and the price gap is pretty large.

Is the maximus II formula worth the price ?

i guy's ...some bios setting please.....thank's

+1; trying to decice on if i should keep my P5K Dlx for my Q9550 or is there a better overclocking board. will be running air till I can get water parts

[Datektrader]

coming from the Abit Ip 35 Pro, this board runs at lower voltages and temps. but thats probably more of a case of the p45 chipset being better. the heatsinks look nice though

[jordinho]

had memory problems with 2 p5q deluxes, so i went ahead and bought the maximus ii and memory problems *poof*

[X2beach]

I am having Major Problems with this board, Running Bios 701 with F2-8800CL5D-4GBPI (Gskill new 1100mhz Ram) I get all kinds of crashes in windows even at Default speed, n my E3110 cpu, Is there some magic setting I am not doing? there sure are alot of bios options.. Anyone give me some setting to start with ?

[jordinho]

had same problems with the new bios, try 0604

[X2beach]

I just flashed 0604 its is little better, What are some good setting to start with getting a new E3110 to run 3.6 ?

[Datektrader]

go easy on the voltage and keep the FSB termination voltage a little above the NB volts. thats where i have found the best stablitly with my E3110@ 4.0GHz so far stable now at 1.25 volts on the cpu.


im still lost when it comes to memory settings other than the first 4 in my sig and thats only because the ram had those settings printed on them.

[X2beach]

PLease post your voltages, I am having a hard time running 3.6 with this board, and I know this chip does 4ghz on my p5e3 Premium

I getting all kinds problems like IE7 shutting down

[Datektrader]

scroll up to my screen shot that has the voltages im using, except i have lowerd the vcore to 2.5

[X2beach]

appears when I run 400mhz Bus all my issue Starts. Very strange..

Whats teh deal with SB1 and SB11

What Voltage should I be running my NB and SB SB11 ?

[crossblood]

is max II compatible with tracer Pc 8500 ?
