The Maximus Formula Thread - Help/OCing/Guide/Rampage conversion

Nice clocks....

The 4.5 at 1.456 volts hasnt been stress tested.

Did you find the 308 bios better than the 403 bios??

I have to run 1.5v or more to get anything stable after 4ghz, and it seems the only difference is the bios version

what you running your trd at GRN and is your board vmod penciled

Torturing your hardware for 16 hours straight at levels you're never ever going to use your system is a little bit e-penis wagging in imho. This is the highest I ever bothered priming.

Gah! Rampage BIOS sucks balls for me apart from lower voltages. Doesn't like my E6750 clocking to 4ghz at all!

Tried everything I can think of - won't even run my games stable. Although I must say, it's taught me huge ammounts more about my RAM and timings

Might flash back to the Maximus 0903 again.... then again... might leave it and get a new CPU

....although I do really like my E6750 - it's my first OC'ing chip

Opinions?

For me its not that at all..... its more that if Im going to overclock somthing I want to actually use it day to day it hasnt to be stable im a competive gamer and I have to have a stable clock... as long as the voltages stay with in safe ranges.

yah the 4.6 prime is pritty tight.

Feed me some bios setting im interested to see if there is somthing I need to tweak to get the extra mile out of this E8400...
