X48 Rampage Formula Preview.

[neo_rtr]

Hi, I friend mention this page and to be honest I am overwhelmed with the information that is given by you guys.
I looked around and I see that the Rampage Bios can be used on the Asus Maximus formula, which is the board I have. My problems since day one with this M/B is what no matter what I do I can not push it above 3.8Ghz using the QX6700 (did it few times but nothing really stable for long term use)
This thread is giving my hope in terms of doing just that.
Will have to flash my Maximus to Rampage first.

In the mean time.
Following the example of EOD post nr 1605 page 65 “I was running a Q6700 at 3.8GHz at 423 FSB x 9, “
My self was not able to boot. Went few steps up for the the volts in general with no luck.

On the QX6700 bios is 13.2 I have
CPU Ratio Control : Manual 8
- Ratio CMOS Setting :
FSB Frequency : 460
FSB Strap to North Bridge : 400
PCI-E Frequency: 100
CPU Voltage : 1,50625V
CPU PLL Voltage : 1.60V
North Bridge Voltage : 1,63V
DRAM Voltage : 2,02V
FSB Termination Voltage : 1,52v
South Bridge Voltage : 1,075v
Loadline Calibration : enable
CPU GTL Reference : auto

Can you give me a general advise on my existing setup before flashing the maximus to rampage.

Thank you

Hard to say different bios altogether. Cross flash it and see what you come up with first.

Shall i do it with the modded C0802.ROM file?

EDIT

Just flash it.. Using same settings as on maximus for 3.6Ghz
CPU Ratio Control : Manual 8
- Ratio CMOS Setting :
FSB Frequency : 450
FSB Strap to North Bridge : 400
PCI-E Frequency: 100
CPU Voltage : 1,50625V
CPU PLL Voltage : 1.60V
North Bridge Voltage : 1,63V
DRAM Voltage : 2,02V
FSB Termination Voltage : 1,52v
South Bridge Voltage : 1,075v
Loadline Calibration : enable
CPU GTL Reference : auto

Need to take a look at the new settings this bios have.

No, take the original that you can find here.

I just booted will CPU 1.53V PLL 1.67 but it crashed the moment i put in the usb to copy the file.. will give a go just now.

PS the PL 6 will not boot so i have it in auto just now
I try 1st 0.67x on the CPU but eventually booted with GTLs 0.65x CPU and 0.63x NB


thanks again

Are you trying to flash your BIOS while your system is overclocked?

You should at least load setup defaults or better do a Clear CMOS before flashing your board.

[neo_rtr]

No, take the original that you can find here.

Ok after doing the bios reset the hard way
loaded the 0802 bios and i am botting up normally again

I will try to see if i can get back to 9x423

edit
back in bios noticed that the fsb was up to 2,02V by it self any ideas

No idea. Can you you lower the voltage in the BIOS or is it stuck at 2.02V?

Neo_rtr my good friend take a good look @ page 67:

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ampage&page=67

and pay attention @ Zucker2k bios settings post, @ mikeyakame explanation posts. as of course @ A-Greys posts too. There is a looot of juice. Just think that QX6700 is an 65nm cpu while Zuckers2k Q9650 is an 45nm cpu. So you certainly have to find the right fsbvtt, cpu pll or cpu volts for your QX6700 something i wish i knew to tell you.
The think is that now with the new skew settings you will be able to hit much higher fsb clocks.
