Hmmm...Any maximus formula x38 user here?whats the best bios huh?using 1102 currently..(kinda old one) and seems ok ler..But as i can see...alot less maximus formule x38 user here compare to rampage formula,p5q etc...sad..

hmm...is that possible?cause i see in this thread people flash "something else(like p5q)" to rampage formula/maximus formula... but never see maximus formula to rampage lol..

Prime and Orthos passed the 1 hour mark, on blend I believe (cpu and ram stress right ?) Gotta check to be honest, been a while.
Using Intel burn in to test now since it takes a shorter period. I'm not interested in highest speed, as 3.2Ghz on my quadie and the 4870x2 provide enough power as it is. i just want a mild OC with stability (450x8 would be nice though ) and least heat !, wanna drop the vcore to 1.25 as proc vId is at 1.25v.

Yeah, auto = very high voltages. So i'm back at 1.29v for vcore and 1.53v for CPUpll. Things are a lot cooler now. Max linpack reaches 80c highest on core1 @ 3.4Ghz.
The vtt is at default 1.3v, pll at 1.53v.
Any suggestions ?

I've had it run at 450x8.5 = 3.835Ghz before @ vcore 1.35, too hot. Stopped the linkpack halfway.

The ghostbusters problem still happens though (random crashing, even at stock speeds). Maybe it doesn't like x64 or 6GB ram who knows. Any other game plays just fine (3dmark and fur bench too).
