well i have a asus engineering afudos here somewhere in my hdd

it was to flash back the rampage formula bios on the maximus
back to the original maximus formula.

sishh.. a silly question aint it..

x48 is just a higher bin x38
other than that the rampage formula board and maximus is the same
so using the right afudos u can flash the rampage bios into the maximus
to get full mem overclocking especially the performance levels
and also better gtl range.

u need engineering afudos if u want to flash back.

again ure silly
its flashing a different mobo bios..
if shit happens dont u want to go back to the bios meant for ure mobo..

thats y u need the engineering afudos.

its not downgrading..its A DIFFERENT BIOS ALL TOGETHER..

do a google and find out difference with rampage formula and maximus formula
also its possible to flash a asus p5e into a maximus or a rampage formula but u might lose out some features for the p5e.

sorry ppl but a repy to something thats totally irrelevant to this thread.

look at iriz posting in the quads..
he just flashed to rampage..
now 3.2ghz at 0.01v+ on stock voltages..
heck his nb voltage and fsb voltage also ridiculously low with the rampage bios.

best of all it was done with his mem at maximum bandwidth at trd 7.. which is easier to set on rampage bios.

so its definitely the way to go..

licyetan
u really increased the latencies
and then lowered the trd

so no diff on ure trd... heck might be even worse ..
the reason is the following

and sishh this is the default
and u went much more looser than this
write to precharge delay = 12
write to read delay = 9
and the one thats really bad..
all to precharge delay default is 3.. by putting 6.. ure latencies and bandwidth just took a hit..
so ure 1100 mhz just for show dude..

dont even want to ask whats ure

bank delays are.. surely atrocious.

write to read
read to read and write to write.
for asus mobo is denoted with (D)
default should be 5 for write to read
and the others is 6...
but u can easily make all of them either 5-5-5- or 5-4-5 ( 4 for read to read bank delay)
run a everest bandwidth test.. and watch ure latencies on mem and L2.

the asus mem settings are already tight..

u just need to change the trd..
all to precharge delay just leave it

and the bank delays advice to leave it at stock..

change the ai skew to strong.. and disable any from of t2 dispatch, static read etc..
it will intefere with the ai skew.

and hmm the reasoning for ure failure.. in overclocking
cause ure just testing very little mem..
try memtest.. with 2096 mb and heck even play avi file.. willing to bet it will hang.

hmm depends bro on his strap..
but he is right licyetan.. disable it and set ure relax level to 0 or 1.. ( this is basically the control for trd's)

hmm wait looking at ure mobo trying to get the equivalent..
till today i dunno why asus cannot follow common set acronyms

set it at default.. its already tight.. dont change any of it..
theres no need.

AT sometimes nuts.. they dont mind higer bandwidth but take a hit on latencies..

if i was u i'd use maximus timings.. but they should be the same..but ure mobo seems limited on ram options

the only performance difference u can get from this is the change of the

Write to write Delay(d)
read to read delay(d)
to 5..
anything lower it only good for benchies..

heck i use almost the same settings with my dfi.. since its optimal
except pissed off at DFI for taking off the tREF.. since its abysmal on the dfi

end of the day.. if do bandwidth test.. the dfi cannot beat the maximus..
mainly because of the tref.

dude ure having problem with ure card is it??

very sure its the card thats making the board not to boot??

ah non just that heard that somebody called cycom and said got issue..
so thought it was u..

anyway good stuff.

eh the expressgate..
u can erase it..

its just a linux system.


did it last time for the m2n32esli.

dude explain this
"u cant oc bcoz if oc fail or not stable, need to reset the bios "

well if unstable of course u need to reset..

and it cant be.. this board now holds most of the world records.

it could be anything for freeze..

could be vcore vs nb vs vtt vs mem voltages..

and it could even be cause one of them is overvolted etc...

recently a forumer came and asked me about my striker formula 2 clocks.. same i spent nearly a month with my e8400 on p35's and x38's so didnt take me long for the 780 board..
theres no clear define way or shortcuts... know thy board and then know that proc...

yup..
and nattan also..

i can tell u guys right now..
keep ure p35's
and maybe think about p45 maybe way way later on..

end of the year or something
tested two boards and find them faulty with all the bios.. beta/public/engineer..

y bro .. u keep asking that..

hopefully u got some D9GMh's

so far all the p45s i tested just loves d9's

loadline calibration doesnt work that way
use a vmm to check

on load.. voltage increase instead of decrease

A lot of ppl Been asking me how to clock the asus striker 2 formula to 500fsb
will show u a pic and u can follow the voltages from there..
and then adjust the rest of the setting as u go

Hardware
Intel E8400
Striker 2 Formula
OCZ ReaperX PC2-8000 2x2gb
Leadtek 9800GX2

not going to make everything easy for u..
kekek sorry nothing personal

but i spoon fed a few ppl in lyn .. and they turn out to be idiots..
so stopped doing that already

yes u can do this with air..

the clocks above was done with gigabyte 3d mercury galaxy case which has a inbuilt watercooling kit
i would say the performance is about the same as IFX 14 air cooler but not as noisy

just use the nb and fsb voltage

the pll voltage.. hmm thats a debate.. actually 1.5v stable..
but once like in a blue moon .. my ram bandwidths like flutters
found that changing that stablize is somewhat..

also the vcore i increased it a bit around 0.03v...
reason cause of loadline...

again for my proc is stable at 1.28v.. but because of loadline.. i increase it for stability for idle.. since the temps were low already

have fun guys..
i still find the striker formula 2 a fantastic overclocking board even compared to my maximus 2 formula
this is a really good board..

loadline doesnt harm ure cpu...
raja.. anandtech fella.. first oppose of it..
and then guess what on all the other boards after that he was clocking with it...

sishh
no corruption problem at all..
actually never had it from the beginning..maybe cause every setting i entered manually??
