ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[cstkl1]

I have heard many people say this, but it's not true in my experience.

What good is gtl control if it doesn't translate into higher fsb overclocks? High VNB? Check out the screenie below.

That's a good thing in my books.

I've gotten similar results on rampage formula.

This is still better than the competition, imo.

Yes, the RE is the best, this debate is about DDR2 though.

Well, what can I say, if it's not better than the rampage formula then my point is made; I know where that 640 figure comes from, and I haven't seen a single quadcore overclock in that thread, let alone past 500 fsb so again, if it is to be considered a contender, then we must see some justification for that. That 640fsb was is reasonable, but it was done with a x6 multi. I could show you my own screenie of a 7.5 x 600, even went up to 610, on the rampage formula and I wasn't even trying hard, and was limited by ram. Trust me, I've been in some ram bandwidth combat with some dfi nuts, etc. and came out feeling good so I know all about the hype. The RF is a solid overclocker; it may not overclock quads nearly as good as some p45s, but the x48 chipset was designed with other strengths which the RF demonstrates very nicely; eg. high fsbs and tight PLs.

Rampage Formula low volts prime action, everything set to the lowest.

my 24/7 with my E8600 before I switched to 9550

As you can see, I have gotten some pretty good results with rampage formula.

bro u do know right for 500 fsb on the RE at 1600 CL7 TRD 8 and m2F 1200mhz CL7 tRD 8 vNB is 1.25/1.21??? for 4x1gb
with vtt at 1.12 for e8600

i have used all the boards..
if RF had the same gtl control as RE... it would have been mind blowing.
also those who use m2f and went over to RE.. would understand gtl better
instead of blaming clock skews for everything.

also a lot of ppl clocking the quads for m2f are setting wrong gtl values and with the RF is less headache.
so i guess ure arguement wins here on RF clocking quads better

but i do admit that i only had the rampage formula upon launch with the initial bios as comparison to MF SE. So my argument was based on that

the DFI x48 was much better at that time for 1200mhz clocks at tRD 7.
for 4x1gb. Its here somewhere in XS dfi thread.. but i was just pissed off with the amount of time it took to get 500fsb stable for 4dimms and also the lack of support on GC's. It was something to do with DFI pcie compaitibility with pcie 2.0 GC's for ATi especially.

also i am just saying the boards that i have used.
also another point in ure side was the rampage formula that i had was a ES .
also my opinion is always based on the boards that i have clocked and never based on screen shots on threads
btw nice clocks
