I agree, currently looking at the Giga UD3, not sure yet. Dont want to grab the flavour of the week board if you know what I mean.Originally Posted by SiGfever
Been a loyal Asus customer since my Nforce4/FX-60 days, would recommend Asus to anyone, they offer high end mid priced and budget all back'd buy a solid reputation. Lately however it seems there dragging there arse on support.
Agreed here. I can comprehend that their support lags because their product lines are so extensive and thus expenses are high, but really, it's not an excuse.

Very true, if it takes limiting the number of boards to offer better support then so be it.

Hey guys I just got an E0 Q9550 and I used the settings that SIGfever posted in the other MFII thread and they work for 4.0 but I am trying to get my CPU up to 4.1 maybe 4.2 but I am having a bunch of trouble once I hit about 482 or so no stability does anyone have settings for a Q9550 OC around 4.1 or 4.2?? Any help would be greatly appreciated... I was thinking maybe 522 FSB but I can't seem to get the memory to cooperate...

Bios 1403 has just been re added to Asus site.
I do not have the SATA hang issue that caused it to be pulled before (but not all peeps got this issue).
Quoted :
Description Maximus II Formula 1403 Bios
Fix Intel 45nm Quad Core CPU ustability issue
File Size 889.74 (KBytes) 2008/11/03 update
If they haven't fix the vNB-Vtt=0.11v-0.15v thing...the bios is still a crap.
I have to Cmos my pc every time i open it.
Well given the last asus bios fiasco, and the fact I dont run a quad, and the added fact i have no idea what "ustability" is coupled with the fact I cant get into the asus download section, I'm not going to guinea pig this bios.

LOL, that's what you have 2 Bioses and 2 profiles in each for.
Both of you wont know till you try, correct ?
I see no need to try it really. Plus I can't get in to download section for some reason.

I dont really have a problem to test it...but as Cryptik said.. this bios hasen't got the best reputation..
That's your choice man, but I can host it directly from my PC if you like :

Some peep on the pulled 1403 got higher FSB on his Quad than with any other previous bios so I hope for same on a Dual 45nm but only bad thing I read about it was that some (not all) peeps got SATA Hang on Certain Ports.

I only use SATA1 and when Raid is back up SATA2.
Sounds like that latest bios is still flawed then. They apparently fix one problem, but make a problem at the same time. What is going on with Asus bios engineers at the moment. Don't they even test before release?

I am trying right now but I am not getting any hang ups so far but I just can't get my Q9550 stable to save my life very frustrating!! Bios seems okay but just in the initial stages of testing.....
Okay update I am definitely more stable on the Quad with this bios I am priming right now with lower voltages and a lot of auto settings (PLL) and I have made it much further than 1307 I will post settings in a bit but I haven't checked bandwith so that will be interesting...

The hangup occurs when IDE is set to RAID.
Apparently Asus at least has a clue. 1501 bios is available on the ftp site. I haven't tried it yet so who knows what they will visit upon us this time.

Here it is: ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/so...us_II_Formula/
I tried it - same crap - back to 1307.
If Asus can't do better than this level to complete slop I will look elsewhere for my next board. Shame, they used to be so consistently good.
