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.

i also finding a version of afudos to flashback or downgrade bios version for blitz formula, any idea? or source?

ok, some noob question, for CPU OC, we can test via prime95 in-place fft to check stability whether its enough voltage, for memory, we can test through blend test and memtest.
Here is my noob question, how do we detect if there are insufficient NB volt, FSB Vtt or PLL ? we should check it using what software, so far my OC have been tested with OCCT, Orthos and Prime, all passes at least 7 hours mark. The settings are FSB: 458 DDR2 1100 with settings on the screenies,

but when i tried higher FSB for higher memory clock speed, such as 1130, 1140 i can pass 32M SuperPI, but failed orthos blend with 4096mb mem in uses in just few minutes and sometimes it can hold till 1 hour... i have tried bumping the NB volt but it doesnt help, so wat NB voltage settings its suitable for me to run my p35(Blitz Formula SE) for FSB above 475? been following anandtech's performance level's guide, so far i did with performance level 7. or my case is just insufficient vdimm to run 1130 or 1140... dun dare to raise the ram voltage over 2.2v.

hey bro, just read ur guide, but i realise i cant change the all to precharge delay, i cannot change it in memset, yet cannot find it in my bios... WTH... Blitz formula dont have this feature? and also there are no AI skew settings also... i'll try lower the settings as i leave them all at auto at the moment... will get back here once i change the settings... now trying to lower all those timings... thanks for the info bro... and also the anadtech's guide are good too... thumbup.gif
here is the screenies of my bios, no settings for the ai skew and all to precharge delay

Just wondering here guys,

How do you flash the bios of your mobo? I wanted to flash my Maximus Formula's bios but does not know how. Is it possible to do it via Pendrive? I saw something like Asus EZ Flash 2 during boot up. Is it possible to use that?

And what is the bios version that you recommend for this? Any danger when flashing bios? Thanks..

yup, can be done using pendrive, or asus ez-flash utility with pendrive containing the bios file, i did for my blitz last time quite a few times d...
