ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[genec57]

I have the 4850 with the Maximus II formula. I don't know how close they are but the 4850 is solid. It will not oc but I think that is a factor of temp. It runs in the high sixties at best. Once I get it under water I hope to be able to get more out of it.
The CPU is seriously overclocked as per sig.

It's not a factor of temp, it's a factor of voltage.

I have my 4850 on an accelero S1 with a 120 strapped to it. It loads at around 36C, but pretty much any overclock was unstable.

Pencil mod took care of that, now it's stable at 700/1200 and I'm sure I could get more if i took the time to mod through BIOS instead of CCC.
