ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[CryptiK]

Thank you for the info!

CryptiK, I apologize if you stated this and I missed it, but what memory were you using when you posted your findings with Static Read Control & Dram Read Training, and Clock Twister?

I actually neglected to state that, I used my Team PC-8500 2 x 1GB kit.

Thanks for the welcome and reply, I have looked over those threads and have found some close to my setup, but not quite the same, so I am not sure if I can set my settings to those, I figured 3.6ghz would be a safe overclock without having to worry to much about heat and so forth. I was thinking about following CryptiK settings which are at 4.0ghz I believe, but he is using 2GB of ram where I have 4 so I didnt try it and wasnt wanting to overclock quite that high.

Well if you want 3.8GHz which should be easy, bump the FSB up to 423 using the 9x divider. You may need a little more vcore but I don't know what you're using now. Also use the 4:5 divider, which should put your ram ~1050 MHz and close to its rated speed so if you set the vdimm to the rated vdimm it should be fine. Also with vNB, you will need a little more than me as you have 4GB but just test it find what's stable.

Fill out a template showing your current settings and we can make you an approximate template for 3.8 GHz or whatever you want to have a go at if you need some assistance.

*EDIT - SiGfever - well you gained a bit of bandwidth and lowered the latency going from strong to stronger. It may as I said take a little more vNB for stability now, but you will definitely have better performance.

I really wish the pull-ins worked, enabled they should give about 150 MB/s increase across the board in everest and ~ 1.5ns latency decrease.

**EDIT 2 - I really have to work out a better cooling solution for the NB, benching SPI32M at 533 FSB / DDR 1280 with 1.49 vNB the NB was idling at 54*C, although it is a warm day ~26*C ambient
