ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[KRich]

Try raising the vcore to 1.40v bios first, I'm not convinced its your ram. at 892MHz the ram should be ok.

@ KRich - the PL10 is the lowest you can go on 1:1 divider due to chipset limitation with P45 unfortunately. No way around it.

Thanks buddy

ok
I will try that as soon as I got my board back
I RMA it today due to the NB temp too high
I got the temp down to 55 C(idle) from 79 C
this is not a cheap board and I should be happy with it
I can't wait to try those setting

thanks

1.33 Vtt & 1.42 vNB = 0.09 vDiff. That's within the max of 0.113v difference I stated, so i would completely expect it to be fine at that setting. Boards may differ, but in my case, the 0.113v max vDiff between Vtt & vNB is a completely reproduceable phenomenon.

You are correct, I just tested your theory and I also get the reboot issue.
My Maximus X38 just arrived today back from RMA, it will be interesting to run some comparisons

Looking forward to seeing that Grn.

Gotta take a management class tonight, apparently I'm not a ppl person
So work is making me take some gay ass'd course in "how to motivate ppl"
Personally you stand behind them with a big metal pole

Anyways I hope to have some results tomorrow night

It's an easy concept.

Boss says, you do.

If they can't figure it out, fire them

Hey guys,

I measured today some voltages on this board with an multimeter...

- in different FSB-Rate -> 333MHz, 450MHz, 500MHz
- between manual and auto voltage (BIOS)


(description in german; Messgerät = multimeter)

result:
The voltage which is set manual in the BIOS is exact the same which i measured...
But if u set the voltage on auto than the voltage is very high if u use an higher FSB.

Means.. if u use higher FSB u should set the voltage manual.

550fsb here. 3 hours and counting. I'll let it run for 12 to make sure. I had to up the vcore slightly to achieve this.

can u give me the bios setting , please

[barong]

also which LAN should i disable to avoid IRQ bsod?

[CryptiK]

What IRQ BSOD problem are you having? I have not experienced that with my system.

[barong]

IRQ not equal, someone said that i should turn off LAN 1

[CryptiK]

IRQ not equal usually indicates a driver crash (like display driver for example) but i'm not sure in your case. You could try either one I guess and see if that helps.

can u give me the bios setting , please

Well I managed 555fsb stable with these settings:

Anybody a Idea ?

Prime always stops (Core 1) at the 768K test after 1 hour and 10 minutes

[turtletrax]

Does anybody have a template for Q6600?

I want to give it a shot b4 I try my E8400.

Thanks!!

[Grnfinger]

IRQ not equal, someone said that i should turn off LAN 1

Actually that's usally a ram issue
I would test your ram with Memtest or Memtest Pro
A quick run of linpack would also rule out ram if it passes

[AquaRelliux]

Grnfinger can u post your settings for your Q9550? I am I just got a maximus II upgraded from Maximus X38. My Q9450 ran fine on my X38 board @3600mhz but I know it can do 4000mhz if u put 1.35v into it, problem was at those speeds I couldent run the ram in the speed I wanted on the X38 so I gave that up. But I am a total noob on this board and I dont know what settings I should have for my Q9450 anyone have adivices?

[FuryPT]

Hi guys, i would like to ask you something! What do you think which is the best bios for this mobo??
I am very keen on buying one and i want to know with which bios i have more performance!

the latest one would be the best, that's 1307
got no probs so far

[Ket]

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, I'm guessing

yap thats right
what is that meant? any solution?

Thank u!

[LookyKai]

most of BSOD cases from overclocking are not enough volt on DRAM or Northbridge, or even DRam timings too tight..?
