Maximus Extreme - Results/Info/Bios

[REVHEAD]

these are added

Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager option ROM v8.0.0.1039 ICH10R wRAID5
JMicron PCIE-to-SATAII/IDE RAID Controller BIOS v1.06.75

They are updated roms for ICH10R but officially our board only sUpports ICH9R, and allso the rom for the Jmicron is updated.

Hi , i just started-up my new pc .

My sistem is : Asus maximus extreme , q9450 (with Thermalight ifx-14 + Scythe Ultra Kaze 120 mm 3000 rpm) , corsair ddr3-1600mhz 2x2giga , etc the rest not important maibe the case : thermaltake v5000 or spire SP-9007B, i tested with bouth of them , in SPIRE temps are lower with 3*-5* and now im using the spire case (with and Scythe SCKB-1000BK mounted in front of the case).

My question is what temp are corect , i used all sorts of programs but all show diferent temp, and what temp should i consider : THE main CORE TEMP or THE 4 core temps ?
And what program shows the good tems?

U can see my temps in the link below:

overclock : 3200 mhz
http://imajr.com/3200oc-1107084

Default :2660mhz

Ps: can someone post the default voltages that are in bios , mine are all on auto and i dont know what are good ones to set them manualy

Hi guys. I'm having problems with the USB ports of my motherboard.

I have a G15 Logitech Keyboard, the one which has lights in every key. When I'm playing Call of Duty 4 or any other game, the keyboard suddenly turns off, the game turns slow, the keyboard is unresponsive and after about 10 seconds the keyboard works fine again. It also happens when I'm not playing. I don't know what to do because I'm using the latest drivers for everything and the keyoboard works fine in other computers.

I'm using 1007 BIOS and the only overclocked thing I have is the FSB. 450MHz for 1800MHz DDR3.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Quick Tip -
I just tried installing Vista x64 retail on Rig 2 in my sig - 2x 2GB Dominator 1800. dimms in blue slots, and i got all sorts of errors and bsods, so i put the 2x 2GB dimms in the white slots, and i haven't had an issue since.
I hope that helps someone

BTW: Sorry if this has already been said - i didn't see it

@Lloyd :
Easy solution :
Just install 2GB RAm first / then install Vista + SP1 / afterwards install your other 2GBs.

Yeah that was next on my list to try, but both dimms in the white slots, worked perfectly

note: didn't have any issues with the 4x 1GB 1333MHZ Corsair in Rig 1, (when either all 4x dimms were plugged in or just 2 of them)

news about 1102 bios??

Yes i too would like to hear if any fsb improvements are to be gained.

Now, I´ve read your message concentrated

ASUS concepted the blue and white slot with different intentions :
the one color for tight timings- the other for high-MHz
( do not know which was which - but I think it should be clear by your message )

In the slots with high-MHz you got to set command rate to "2t"... otherwise you got BSODs.

Ahhh, u learn something new everyday. I didn't know that. Thanks mate

very useful info! Where is that officially documented?

[Lloyd]

Yeah, me too. I'd like to know what all the default voltages are. (obviously not cpu and ddr)
Can anyone help
Thanks

That is the problem :
In really none of the mainboard-manuals is it documented - a tech-support-member with I had a long time contact told me that... and he sent me a link of the ASUS-Support page - but I never found that page again.

but it is very easy to prove for yourselfes

on Bios 1102

having spent the last few months with Bios 1004, I gave a shot at 1102 for the last few days, and I gotta say, its not good.

now the bios tends to want to run PL12 at 530+ on the FSB.
where with 1004 I been running PL9.

with 1102 PL9 wont even make it into windows at 520+.

plus I am now getting random freezes, from the same overclock I been running for months now.
9 x 533 now freezes randomly. (4.8 ghz sub zero cooled)

simply put 1102 just isnt very good.
its slower, and unstable.
I'd suspect they fiddled with the chipset latencies or something to make it faster at low FSB's and sacrificed high FSB performance.
or something like that.
thats just a guess however.

back on 1004 bios today, and all is good again.
I spent about 3 days on 1102 before calling it quits.

Hy again , i have an isue with asus maximus extreme,

Q9450(thermalight ifx-14), asus maximus extreme (bios 1102), corsair 2x2giga 1600mhz (CM3X2g1600c9DHX).

1 i whanted to test how much can u OC without any voltage , so i manualy put all voltages on default , you can see may settings on bios :

-Ai overclock tune = manual
-OC mem lev up= auto
-cpu ratio set= 8.0
-FSB frecv= 333
-pci frecv= 100

-ddram frecv = ddr1333mhz
-ddram command rate = 1t
-ddram timing control= manual
-cash# latency = 9
-ras# to cas# latency =9
-ras# precharge = 9
-ras# active time=24
-ras# to ras# delay = 4
-row refresh cycle time = 60
-write ricovery time = 9
-read to precharge time =6
-read to write delay (s/d)= 9
-write to read delay (s)= 5
-write to read delay (d)= 6
-read to read delay (s)= 4
-read to read delay(d)=7
-write to write delay (s)=4
-write to write delay (d)=7

-ddram static read control = auto
-dram dynamic write control=auto

i know this 2 u have to disable them , but in my configuration if i set them on disable i cant enter in windows ( sistem freeze before enter windows)

-Ai clock twister = strong
-ai clock skew for chanel A = auto
-ai clock skew for chanel B = auto
-Ai transaction booster = enable
-Boost level=2

-Cpu voltage 1.24375v
-cpu ppl voltage = 1.52v
-north bridge voltage= 1.41v
-ddram voltage = 1.8v
-Fsb termination voltage= 1.24v
-south bridge = 1.09v
-Loadline calibration = enable
-Cpu gtl reference= x63
-north bridge gtl reference = x67
-ddr3 chanel A+B REF voltage = auto
-ddr3 controller REF voltage = ddr3_REF
-sb 1.5 voltage = auto

So with this settings (the ram secont and 3-th set of timings are a little high in comparation to default ones because i was aiming and oc from 1600 to 1800mhz) , and i was surprised to se that sistem is stable at 400fsb , 1600mhz for ram , all tests fine , temperatures where same at 333fsb.

My next step was to aim for 1800mhz for ram , i modifie voltages and wasnt able to enter windows:

-Cpu voltage= 1.43125v
-cpu ppl voltage= 1.5v
-ddram voltage=2.06v (tryed 1.82 , 1.84 . ....2..06v)
-FSB termination volt= 1.54
-south bridge=auto

Then was i try boot with the default manual set settings at 425fsb@1700mhz for ram , sistem boot but in 3dmark2006 failed ; again set the oc voltages , and i couldnt get it stable.

So i thought my ddram3 is a sssssssshhhhhtttttty ram dont work stable upper then 1600mhz.

I try change : DDRAM FRECV = DDR3_1066 mhz , so when in i cand oc fsb high the 425 without passing the 1600mhz ddram barier.

The problem is when i modifie ddr3_1333 to ddr3_1066 (with all timings set to manual) all my timing are lowered by bios automaticaly (all of them)

"WTF" is that and again sistem wont enter windows , i try set them manualy but they dont work .

So now im stuck ,any hlp plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, sugestions etc.

Ps: sry for my bad english.

(and i have another less bothering isue , i conected the front audio and microfone case jaks to maximus extreme audio card , but they dont work , WTF)

Yeah, me too. I'd like to know what all the default voltages are. (obviously not cpu and ddr)
Can anyone help

the intel chipset drivers state they may turn your usb devices off its a known bug try to update them buddy could be something that simple

I have SLIC on 1102 BIOS and use, but bootblock is fucxxx.

[staniasergiu]

guys , plz can u give some voltages for FSB 400 and FSB 450 plz

-Cpu voltage = ?
-cpu ppl voltage = ?
-north bridge voltage= ?
-ddram voltage = ?
-Fsb termination voltage= ?
-south bridge = ?
-sb 1.5 voltage = auto

i getting blue screens after some time even at 400 fsb , and at 450 fsb in 3dmark 2006 all textures are wrong

plzzz

tkz for nfo ,
and for fsb 400 ai sugestions ?

now im more interested to get the fsb 400 stable

and i see u have corsair TWIN3X2048-1800C7DF , and i have the 1600 cl9 2x2 giga , for u its easy to get stable at 450 fsb
