ASUS Maximus II Formula - new P45 king?

[seban]

Water cooling is one of those things were benefit of having one is nowhere near of risk / cost / effort put into it (for me ofc - chicken )

I relay prefer to buy cherry picked CPU and play with it then play with OC then play with WC and eventually loose - most important time on setting up machine and OC rather then even money itself - i just dont have time anymore to waste.

BTW for ppl who has random reboots. In the end cause for them was SB voltage, which one exactly I dont know i bumped both to 1.2 and 1.55 following advice of Simps as I run both PCI higher then 100 and got 4HDDs and a lot of stuff connected to MB.

About my connection issue it looks like it was crapy version of downloader - installed new version and problems seems to be gone.

This weekend I will try go higher then my sig as CPU can do it easily - mobo is holding me back.

Don't know, I didn't tested. I will and post screens.

btw. How do you manage to start your Corsairs at 1100 Mhz ? Any advices ? And how do you keep DRAM Static Read Control, DRAM Read Training and MEM. OC Charger, because when I put sumething else than Auto, always end with a blue screen ?!?

What version of those Dominators u got? u will have it on sticker on HS.

If 1.x then they should clock easily If 2.x then your current clock might be your reality (at least this is what i read about them - no personal experience as I got 1.x).

Anyway you can up voltage on them for 1100 to 2.1+ (mine are working 2.15 as in singature - but passing test no problem 1160 PL8 on same settings - did not try higher)

You might need to adjust NBGtl ref or bumb NG voltage to do PL8 - just a thought (but on your cloks it seems that you have more then enough juce on NB tho I would try NBGTL ref)

You can find my settings for RAM (which are copy of some Grnfinger's settings for ram in the thread just look for my posts)
