X48 Rampage Formula Preview.

Yo mate,
I think it´s better to post you guys the whole BIOS pages:

But I am telling you this board won´t forgive any misstakes. If you don´t know what you are doing just let it. A wrong setting and the board refuses to start.
But if you ´ve got your head around this BIOS you will need more than a life to try the very best settings.
I myself had never more oc fun with a board like this one.
No matter if I oc the FSB or the memory it was great.

@Alien-Grey,
what do you think about DFI now?

Great BIOS design although I don't understand why they didn't include tREF in the BIOS. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't mikeyakame told us that DFI boards have tREF available?


I just had a quick look at the manual and I noticed something very important. A CPU Clock Skew Delay of 100ps is necessary for FSB > 450MHz.

That confirms my thoughts about the ASUS Rampage Formula. They never made the BIOS to do FSB > 450MHz. If they did we would have got CPU and NB Clock Skew from the very first BIOS release.


Thanks for the picture of your board and a Q9650@4.5GHz. I used it on the ASUS forum. I also complaint again to ASUS and told them to have a look at the picture and give us an explanation why this isn't possible on the ASUS Rampage Formula. Check it out on the forum.

I'll give them some time to come with a good explanation or a new BIOS that can give us these clocks. When they can't give an explanation or I still see no changes in the BIOS than I'm going to follow you and we can continue our discussions and have fun with our hardware. But no more in this thread and no more on the ASUS Rampage Formula forum.
