Maximus Formula Rampage (bios settings help)

[-=j0nnyr0773n=-]

Can anyone post some successful bios settings for Maximus Formula's flashed with the Rampage bios? I just flashed mine yesterday and am having some slight problems getting my settings all worked out. Here's some of my voltages / settings atm under load.

450 x 8 (q6600)

Actual Voltages Reported by Asus PC probe:

Vcore - 1.49v
FSBT - 1.62v
SB - 1.09
SB2 - 1.55
Dram - 2.22
Dram ref - 1.12
NB - 1.52

CPU PLL - 1.648v

My cpu is a G0 with 1.3000v VID.


I have Transaction booster set to Manual with a setting of 10.

I have tried very high voltages, very low, medium, etc.. I have tried leaving everything on auto and just upping my vcore, i've tried upping both fsbt and v core up to the red but still not 100% solid. Guess I'm just looking for some solid settings that work for others on the Formula flashed to Rampage with quad core.

Every chip is different...with that being said, there is an entire thread on formula --> rampage on this site...

I realize every chip is different, it's nice to see some other people's settings that work though. Also I have looked throught the Maximus thread on this site and all of the posted settings are for the Formula not the Rampage bios. I can tell by looking at the Transaction booster section the formula has "Relax" 0-7 and the Rampage has settings for 1-31.

I have setting for 3.6GHz to 4.0GHz

Leave teh skew settings to auto for now

Thx Grn. Hopefully we can get a bunch of settings in this thread specific only to Maximus flashed to Rampage. Keep em comin!

I'll post some more shortly

[-=j0nnyr0773n=-]

So you haven't had to raise your FSBT at all for any of this eh?

What is your chip's VID ?

[ElEctric_EyE]

I can also confirm FSBTv does not have to be overvolted as much as vDIMM or CPU or NB...

[-=j0nnyr0773n=-]

Can you post your settings Electric?

[Oldtimer2]

None of these Settings work for me I have tried every setting posted here and nothing will run at Trd 6 for me. i have 4 Gigs of Gskill DDR8500, P5E with Rampage bios 403, E 8400
