ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[GeorgeVasil]

Waoh! That's a great chip mate

So Cryptik if ya wana see some 3D Benchs, you should look at what I've done last night :

http://soj.mesdiscussions.net/soj/Ca...ujet_121_1.htm

I clam 3 walls yesterday, all on air : such a satisfaction my friends ya know ?


Sorry all cus' my thread is only in french, but any comment ??

Thanks M8..

Great Results with CF.

Can you post your M2F setings used for 3d benching?

[Nunzi]

Need some help trying to get 4.1 I keep falling prime small fft's on worker thread 3

Hers my settings........... any help would be Aprecheated

P.S pulled out 2 stick running only 4 gigs

Try Georges settings, also try a range of GTL Ref settings. Here's 3 sets you could try:

[Nunzi]

Thanks for the info guys.......going to try settings now

[KURTZ]

Fix is to unplug it and press the power button a few times then boot up as normal, but at times it loads up defaults or setting I have never touched or set in Bios like Skew etc.

OK this fix the infinite fake boot bug, and finally i can enter in the BIOS, but now i've a huge trouble, i can't enter in windows ... also i can't install a new fresh copy of the OS ... cause every time that it loads (and finish) the files from the CD i get a reboot so the installing process isn't finished ... any tip?

[Alastor2262]

having trouble getting my system stable under Prime 95 it usually failed around the 1 hour mark however it is stable under linpack 10 pass.
any advice welcome

still droping the 3rd worker thread eny other settings I can try?

Thanks

[Eeky NoX]

Thanks M8..

Great Results with CF.

Can you post your M2F setings used for 3d benching?

Nothing special, but crasy voltages for aircooling

I just remebered that those settings were for 4,8 Now I trying to go down cus' the heat grows over 85° (sorry for °)

Still startin' up the OS @4,5 with all voltage on auto and 1,32v for the core...but I've got to dig for now (this mobo's teachin me ya know ? )

[GeorgeVasil]

This is the best i can do with the voltages...

CryptiK i tryied both CPU&Clock Skews,they really affect stabillity.



1,336 VCore
1,16 VTT
0.64x GTL (-30mv)

[JoeBar]

My chipset temps are 47 idle (with water and new swifteck block) load under small ffts goes 52 and under blend goes at 58-60 with 1.33 vnb.I ensured the good contact twice.(crappy temps).

I think that my M2F get unstable because of high temps at chipset.

These are some pretty high numbers. Mine tops @ 47'C with 1.51vNB, cooled by NBMAX.

Did u took apart the whole heatsink assembly when installing your wb or just the heatsink on the NB?

[GeorgeVasil]

Only the heatsink on the NB..

[Grnfinger]

Only the heatsink on the NB..

I reseated the whole assembly, my NB at idle is a cool 37c with ambiant air at 20c under load 44-45c max with 1.39vNB
I use a MCW30 for the NB

[JoeBar]

Only the heatsink on the NB..

I would suggest removing the whole assembly and reapplying some proper thermalpaste but i know it's a pain in the @ss to do this.

However something is definitely wrong there with your temps mate...

Thanks for the answers guys!

I think that my MCW-NBMAX only mounts proper on the whole assembly.

If i remove the whole assembly i'll need after market coolers for PWR and SB..

I will try for some whasers and a new custom plate for the block first.

No they mean for you to keep the heatpipe assembly just pull it off, clean off the crap Asus TIM, reapply some good TIM, and remount the heatpipe assembly along with your waterblock.

Ahh ok My bad..

I have done this Twice Guys..I have Applied Ceramique..but same Sh@t..

[andressergio]

Guys my first tests with this great mobo, the Q9650 and the EVGA 8800 ULTRA vmoded

My Special Thanks to my mates Cryptik and Leeghoofd for all the help !!!

[WaterFlex]

Good job. Try 500x8. P45 allows and can handle such clock stable with quads.

Thanks mate will try, just figuring out what VTT / VCORE / NB for that...

Hola amigo, thanks for sharing, nice score. The ultra is punching well above it's weight. Good to see you in here finally

[CryptiK]

Just did 3 SPI32M runs with my M2F and Cellshock PC-8000 GKX sticks. This board has strange behaviour, it is most stable on the 5:6 divider. The times are bad as I had to run under 4GHz, PL8 (PL9 on first bench), Ai Clock Twister on moderate, and have static read and dram read training disabled. The GKX did ok, max SPI32M stable on 2.20v was 630 MHz.

510 FSB, 612 MHz, PL 9


517 FSB, 620 MHz, PL 8


525 FSB, 630 MHz, PL 8

LOL yeah after i almost get crazy and you and poor leeghoofd also
Thanks mates !!

Sergio

BTW Nice Scores on your mem Cryp, guess i will buy 2x1 to test, impossible on 2x2...i only i had the Gskills PC29600

[seban]

I just received answer form Asus support team for question where is MB temp sensor located on MF2?

So... are you ready ? - OK here we go:

MB sensor is located - TOP SECRET - by asus

They will not tell me period. They asked me to RMA if I have a problem...

New board ordered old one flying to retailer.
