Best BIOS for Maximus SE?

**ElEctric_EyE** · 11-15-2007, 03:09 PM

I am OC a WC Q6600 G0, and have started with 0401 and am getting ready to flash the BIOS, I was hoping you all could give me a piece of advice and save me a few steps. Which is the best BIOS version in your honest opinion?

I use 0505 with my rig, all others are just meh.

Same here. 0505 all the way!

0701 was nice, but 0505 is still by far the best bios!

I guess I'll be the only one to vote for the 0602 version.

im using 602 also and have enjoyed it. Havent tried 505 though...

Thanks for that guys, I posted this this morning and looked this afternoon with no responses, so I decided to flash the BIOS with the newest 0701. I'm in my first stage of just trying to post with the highest speeds/voltages, and I have reached 3.9GHz! WOOOOOOOOOOOO! No stress tests yet..

0602 for me... and i'm 3.9 stable.

**ElEctric_EyE** · 11-16-2007, 09:45 AM

have you guys tried 0701 then went back to 0602, or another earlier version? or just was happy with what you could do at that point and didn't need another update?

**TheSamurai** · 11-16-2007, 12:25 PM

ended up at 0602 after trying all of them...

**ElEctric_EyE** · 11-17-2007, 05:40 PM

thx m8, I will try to max out at current conditions, then go back to 0602. luckily i downloaded all BIOS's when they were available, seems ASUS site is down for Maximus DL's, at least here in US...

**TheSamurai** · 11-17-2007, 05:44 PM

lol, the asus site always seems to go offline and then back on in a day or two.

I use the 0505 here I've just checked FSB capabilities yet: 500x6 valid/480x6 stable/490x6 3d stable with QX6850 (515x6 max on P35 with wc) but I'm not able to manage the memory frequencies and timings as high as on P35 mobos.

Bye
