Maximus Extreme - Results/Info/Bios

[REVHEAD]

Well for those of you that have this board and a Q9450 and having terrible OC results like I was for months, I decided to try some things again , so I popped out my G0 stepping and put the Q9450 in again for some messing around.

I decided to try a new approach, I have never had any luck with this board and q9450 untill now .

400 fsb ratio divider system wont boot into windows .
333 system boots into windows and freezes.
266 system boots into windows and works for a few minutes then freezes.
200 divider system boots into windows and runs bench 10 x loop 3dmarks 06 successful, bench 3D Marks Vantage on extreme settings x 4 times successful, play Age of Conan on High settings MSAA X4, for 2 hours nps.

To me the trick was the 200 FSB ratio divider, it is allso giVen me better Badwidth using this divider in Everest well at least better Write and Copy badwidth than I have had with any divider using my G0 stepping.

My settings are FSB 450, Multi 8X Loadline calibration on, all voltages are on Auto except for my Vcore, it is set at 3.875 in the bios, My ram speed is 1800 mhz.

Anyway good luck, I just wanted to share my success.
