ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[Simps]

If you can keep the board stable and temps manageable then why not. Do you need that much for starters, I've never needed more than 1.36v Vnb on a P45 and that was with over 470fsb, q6600 and 2gb ram sticks.

Ahh that would explain it! The 38mm Delta i'm using is a ~130cfm 2800rpm unit, got a 210cfm 3700rpm 38mm as well but it sounds like an aircraft taking off its so loud, so it just sits in a box.

I am going for a 65nm quad at 7x500 (3.5GHz) and DDR2-1200 CL5 PL8.
I am doing some tests at that speed, and I need 1.45vNB... I am a bit worried about using 1.45vNB 24/7, but I guess since temps are ok, I will give it a try....

OMG man, those 220CMF 38mm deltas are insane! I believe they are 65dB... But they are really nice for short benchs... Thanks for your repply...

Edit: I just found a youtube link of those deltas's 220CMF... They are 4600RPM. That is really insane! I don't think these are the ones you have... You probably have a quiter one... This one is just insane LOL!

Now, these is the loudest computer fan ever tested... Thats 350CMF 80dB+, and can kill your ears :/

hehe nice pics mate, the mobo should be freezing

Why you love bios 1901, what diff did you find ?

So far, I find it more stable at 500FSB on my 65nm quad. I used 1307 before. It is stable actually, I just think I can drop some Vcore and Vdimm, before I call it done. The only voltage I can't drop anymore, is vNB, witch I will have to leave at 1.45v

Try messing with cpu and nb clock skews, and see if they help any.
I gave up trying to get a P45 to 500 on a quad at about 1.40v Vnb so maybe you do need it after all. What Performance Level are you trying to use?
I use PL7 12:10 on an X48 and need 1.49v Vnb for 481fsb, so maybe your ball park isn't too far after all since i need at least 1.65v for tighter performance level at this point.
