ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[SiGfever]

Something you might want to try is a positive value for GTL's.
I ran the correct values for my setup -50 or something like that and coudnt get 2 cores stable.
Adjusting to a positive value
ie +30 +20 +20 +30 got my chip stable fast and allowed me to lower PLL to its min, and vcore was also lowerd 2 notches.
Not saying its going to work but its worth a shot?

I tried some settings from one of your posted OC's. It failed core 1 after 52min runtime. Here are the settings.
