ram at 1200 5-5-5-5 pl7
indeed one of my favorite boards. been through some p45s, have a dfi x48 and i keep coming back to this board. it clocks my ram higher at less volts than anything else and same w/ cpu. plus bandwidth could not be matched on any other board.

Shhh, don't tell any dfi fanboy that. I've had a few skirmishes with them on my Maximus and needless to say, it kicked ass!4.5ghz 1.352v e8500

the dfi has a whole lot more bios options. the cpu voltage stepping is supposed to be finer however i think its a sham after further testing. it can go 1.34 vor 1.36v but no matter what i did it would not go to 1.35v. the board however is supposed to be the "king" of clocking 8gb of ram but im not running that much... in the end, it was more hassle than i was willing to put up with. just trying to figure out the proper gtl's for my nb/cpu was a few hours affair.Shhh, don't tell any dfi fanboy that.

maximus/rampage ftw all the way. my dfi is listed in the for sale section

About the 8GB bit, I'm yet to see any board do what I've done with both my Maximus/Rampage.the dfi has a whole lot more bios options. the cpu voltage stepping is supposed to be finer however i think its a sham after further testing. it can go 1.34 vor 1.36v but no matter what i did it would not go to 1.35v. the board however is supposed to be the "king" of clocking 8gb of ram but im not running that much... in the end, it was more hassle than i was willing to put up with. just trying to figure out the proper gtl's for my nb/cpu was a few hours affair.

i dont have 8gigs to test it with. thats why the "king" was in quotes because supposedly thats what it does well.
