ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

Nice going my friend!
Test the stability there. If it is stable, that might give you some good information about your 8.5 x 483 overclock. If you are stable at 490FSB then there is no reason for you not to be stable on 483FSB, other then lack of vcore for raw speed, or lack of vdimm for ram speed. I don't think this chipset has FSB holes. So if you are stable at 490FSB with that settings, then you might want to try again for 8.5 x 483 overclock, with a bit more vcore to it. Maybe that will do solve your stability issues there. If not, add a bit more of vcore and vdimm, and test again.

I see you are using a vFSB of 1.34v for 490FSB. Was that the lowest or you didn't try to lower it? I really believe you could lower that a lot.
