ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[CryptiK]

Good looking chip you have there, what kinda temps are you hitting on load?
Last low volt chip I had produced alot of heat.

Thanks. It's around 58*C in IBT with a lapped TRUE, MX-2 and 54cfm fan. This was in ~20*C ambients, so it will get even hotter on a warm day.

Looking good CryptiK.

Here is what I have found it is best and takes less time to test a system for full stability.
I found out that you only need to run IBT and PRIME BLEND.
I start with IBT 20 loops on max stress. If it don't pass it, then I don't even bother with PRIME. If it passes, then I go for prime blend for 4 hours.
If it passes, its done.

I have never had a single setting that passed 20 loops IBT on max stress, and 4hours prime blend to crash on me. All the other stress programs like OCCT, PRIME SMALL FFT's, memtest, etc, will pass too.

I was just testing a theory so I ran the tests in that order on purpose. I find that 4096K test is harder on ram/NB than blend/large FFT's are, and I was specifically trying to load the ram/nb during those tests.

EDIT - can anyone get the 1:2 divider to work on this board? I have tried multiple times and no go. My ram is good for 700MHz+ on P35 but cannot get 666MHz+ to work on this board, 620MHz is its limit.
