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

[Zucker2k]

going to try for a 5.0GHz bench tonight or tomorrow, just got back form 6 days at the lake so I'm kinda tired.
Still like the quad better so far, if I can hit 500x10 and run the ram at 1200MHz

Dont think its going to happen but I will certainly try. New motherboard bios options are alittle new and have yet to find the time to test each option fully.

I see MIIF is treating you well. I got a dog for a cpu here; max prime stable so far is 4.4Ghz @ 1.440v! Anyway, I've trimmed it down to 4.2Ghz 24/7. I'm running high fsb to compensate, 7.5x560, PL9. This is on the second rampage I got from newegg. I've had to rma the other board since the water incident. Both boards have done 600fsb easy. My 2x2GB G.Skills have been the bottleneck so far but still this board amazes me with what it is able to do at relatively low voltages.

Everything is completely stable, 7.5x560, PL9.

Edit: I'm on bios RF 0410.

I'm very pleased with my choice so far.
Seem to be having troubles tho posting past 500FSB , alot of new options to learn.
GTL's have a math calculation so you no longer just set 0.63x ect, its now + or - mv's to adjust wich only complicates.
My E8600 cannot beat my Q9550 in any bench so its going to ebay today or tomorrow,
I see your still have excellent results running Rampage, I hope to aquire one soon

I hope Asus will be out of stock on my RMA on the SE board. Should have got my shipping email Friday ( actually Thursay but I like to add 1 day to wait time ) So Monday I will start my in and chewin and carry on about the long delay with my 3870X2 and toss in a few remarks about jumping ship in hopes of a upgrade. I doubt it will happen but I will try.

Lol. Goodluck on that. Someone is offering me cherry picked Rampage Extreme for a very attractive price, it's got me very confused since I'll have to get DDR3 ram too. Choices, choices....
