Den store ASUS Maximus Extreme / Formula tråden

[Centuss]

Hadde forsåvidt flaks med mine brikker. Gikk som smurt. Til og med klokket de litt. Har planer om å klokke dem til helgen, så får se hvor langt jeg kommer....

[anders!]

Hei! har kjøpt meg et maximus formula kort nå. Bygde opp pc`n og den funket fint i 2 dager. når jeg starter den nå så skrur den seg på så av igjen så på igjen:/Pc`n står og går men ikke noe bilde og få. Så lyser alle de 3 led lampe på HK. Grønn-gult og rødt. Men ikke noe lys fra CPU ledsa.(?) Cpu blir heller ikke varm sa kompisen min som kan en del om data...

 

Noen som peil på hva dette kan være?

 

Mulig jeg formulerer meg rart men det er fordi jeg er ny i databygging:P

 

Bruker Kingston DDR2 HyperX PC8500 2048MB CL5, Kit w/two matched HyperX 1GB DDR2 som skal stå på lista til ASUS. Og har prøvd hvite og blå slots.

Hvor fant du den listen?

Asus sine sider. QVL liste for Maximus Formula

Den lista der virker jo ekstremt utdatert.

I følge den støttes kun en type corsair 800Mhz ram, rammen jeg har i dag står ikke der, men funker allikevel utmerket.

Er jo lite poeng med en slik liste hvis de ikke oppdateres den skikkelig.

Tjener vel litt penger på at corsair osv. kjøper seg inn på listene...

Har endel problemer her får ikke hk til å gå på 400mhz samma va jeg gjør. Jeg legger til noen bilder slik som jeg kjører nå.

Kan noen fortelle meg eventuelt va jeg kan forandre på slik at jeg kan kjøre på 400fsb??

Min hardware: Xeon 3220@2997mhz 333*9

Nei, kun Nvidia chipset støtter SLI.

 

Derimot støtter kortet CrossFire.

[Centuss]

Sliter litt med å få CPUen til å klokke lengre. Windows får blåskjerm ved oppstart og nekter å starte.

 

For å ikke gå i detaljer er det på grunn av minnnet har jeg funnet ut av. Åssen kan jeg stille opp FSB uten at dette påvirker minne? Evnt. hva skal jeg ha på strap to north bridge eller noe sånt.

[The Ghost]

AI Overclock Tuner:

Set this function to manual for overclocking; the Auto function enables preset overclocks automatically when the system is under load.

 

OC from CPU Level Up:

ASUS enabled overclock profiles based upon the processor type in use; for manual overclocking this function may be left at Auto. If low level automatic preset overclocking is preferred, select either the CPU type or "Crazy" mode. Setting either of the latter two options adjusts all board voltages to preset values. The preset values themselves can be higher than is absolutely necessary for the applied overclock. The Auto overclock functions can be useful for beginners who are getting to grips with overclocking, with the option to move to manual overclocking later. We suppose this guarantees stability via a somewhat brute force approach. For long-term use we recommend using a manually set overclock.

 

FSB Strap to Northbridge:

The two straps of use for overclocking past 400FSB are 333 and 400. All other straps have lower FSB limits.

 

PCI-E Frequency:

If the ICH9R SATA ports are used then a setting around 115mhz is safe, though scores do not seem affected by the minimum 15mhz overclock. We noticed anything over 118MHz would cause problems with the drives or even the POST routines. Benchmarkers as usual are best advised to use an IDE drive, turn off all the peripherals, and then try to maximize the bus speed.

 

DRAM Frequency:

Available dividers are dependent on the FSB strap to Northbridge setting. For 333 we have 1:1, 5:6 and 5:8, while for 400 we have 1:1 and 3:4 memory divider ratios. Best overclocking results and performance are available from the 400 NB setting using the 3:4 divider. Access latency and overall bandwidth seem to reach their peak using the 400 NB strap around 450FSB and upwards with DDR2-1200 memory speed.

 

DRAM Command Rate:

Sets either 1N or 2N memory timing. 1N has a low memory MHz range (900MHz and under), useful only for the 1:1 divider. 2N is the preferred choice for outright performance when using good DDR2 at speeds greater than 900MHz.

 

DRAM Timing Control:

Set this to Manual to obtain control of all primary and secondary memory timing ranges. The BIOS shows primary and secondary timings above both respective sections. Users may wish to enter the shown timings manually for each setting and then experiment with tighter timings where possible. The board defaults are generally tight enough for 24/7 use. For benchmarking Memset allows access to setting ranges not accessible in BIOS.

 

 

The following three settings are all amalgamated from tRD, tRD Phase adjust, and chipset performance registers areas that are fully unlocked on DFI boards. Rather than direct fine control, ASUS prefers an auto manipulation of preset combinations, with a limited user set range. Results are fairly average using relaxed combinations. The X38 chipset itself seems to favor 333 and 400NB straps, which in turn limits the range of use of ASUS' spin on these settings. We look at possible setting ranges below.

 

DRAM Static Read Control:

This function is best set to "Disabled" for high FSB levels (450 FSB upwards). "Enabled" gives a small gain in memory access latency at the expense of overall stability. We believe this setting alters a single TRD phase to low; performance advantages either way are not stellar.

 

AI Clock Twister:

We recommend use of the "Strong" setting wherever possible. Setting "Weak" reduces overall bandwidth and access latency. "Strong" brings the x38 chipset performance almost in line with the P35 using DDR2 memory. Please note, we did not find setting "Weak" worked well with the 400 NB strap at 465FSB.

 

Transaction Booster:

Ranges here are from 0-7 (0-3 are stated as usable in BIOS), with either the "Enabled" or "Disabled" setting. The 0 setting with either "Enabled" or "Disabled" selects the default tRD level for the NB strap and memory divider combination. The Enabled function lowers tRD (tRD -1) and/or tRD phases with each additional digit over 0, meaning an upward scale increase or boost is more aggressive with Transaction Booster set to Enabled. If using the 333 NB strap, set Transaction Booster to Disabled and use either 0 or 1 as the "Relax level" setting. When using the Relax setting range (Disabled Transaction Booster), using higher numbers will increase tRD (tRD +1) and tRD Phase adjust for lower overall performance, allowing access to higher FSB speeds. For quad-core overclocking the 400 NB strap performs best with Transaction Booster set to Enabled and 0 as the Boost Level setting - unless you're chasing higher FSB speeds at the expense of overall performance. Dual-core CPUs capable of high FSB speeds may use the "Relaxed" setting of 3 if outright FSB speed is the goal.

 

CPU PLL Voltage:

Scale range is 1.5-3V in 0.02V increments. Stock is 1.5V, although overvolting can bring small increases to FSB limits. We do not recommend using past 1.75V for long-term use.

 

North Bridge Voltage:

Scale range is 1.25V-1.85v. Stability is greatly affected by NB temperatures, and temps over 47C are prone to failures during longer Prime torture test runs. Active cooling of the NB is recommended for overclocking. A combination of air and water-cooling generates the best results when using the stock ASUS water block and heatsink combo. Voltages around 1.61V-1.65V are required for overclocking past 440FSB.

 

DRAM Voltage:

ASUS provides us with a searing 1.8V-3.4V scale. The board does overvolt the BIOS setting by around 0.04V, and users are advised to subtract this value from the BIOS setting to stay within warranty voltages for memory ( yes, we said that with a straight face).

 

Loadline Calibration:

Available options are Auto, Disabled, and Enabled. Use "Enabled" for overclocking. This function reduces Vcore voltage sag. We found a measured droop of around 0.021V under full CPU load and an undervolt of around 0.0125V at CPU idle with the Enabled setting. These are excellent results and ASUS should be commended for addressing previous Vdroop problems on their boards.

 

FSB Termination Voltage:

The scale runs from 1.2V-2V in .02V increments. Again, the board overvolts the BIOS setting by around 0.03V-0.04V. We recommend that users do not exceed a setting of 1.56V (1.6V actual) for 24/7 use. As FSB is raised with a quad-core CPU, VTT also needs to be raised. Expect to use between 1.5V-1.6V for overclocks past 440 FSB.

 

CPU GTL Reference:

Available options are, 0.57x, 0.59x, 0.61x, and 0.63x. This function controls GTL reference voltage to both CPU die's simultaneously. This is not completely ideal as there are always mismatches in CPU fabrication and motherboard components that may require individual GTL voltage level adjustments for each CPU die. The only option of use here is 0.63x, which is actually mislabeled and closer to around 66-67% of VTT. Intel specification for GTL reference voltages is 67%. We probed the on-board voltages with a DMM to find out just how close ASUS is to the 67% mark of VTT.

The closest point to 67% on our motherboard for both CPU die is 1.54V (set in BIOS). Although the differences between actual GTL and Intel 67% specification seem small, fine control of the GTL voltages would have helped the board's overall stability when pushing past 450FSB with the Quad Cores. Each board will have a different level of voltage variance due to on-board component tolerances. In short, a 0.63x setting for GTL at 1.54VTT will not equate to the same measured GTL value on every board and may be adrift from the ideal 67% specification.

 

NB GTL Reference:

The scale runs from 0.49x to 0.67x in 0.02X increments. 0.67% worked best on our board and processors. We found that values lower than 0.67x caused lock ups and non-boot situations. Again, finer control options would have been nice and should be expected on a board in this price range.

 

Lek deg med den nye info'n, har selv hjulpet meg endel og kan sikkert hjelpe dere og

 

Snart skal eg få sett hva mitt kort klarer og da jeg skal kjøre 2stk MCW30 på det, men tror jeg har en FSB wall på ca. 480Mhz på min E6750

Okey, så nå har jeg testet litt. Satte strap til 400, og den bootet helt vanlig. Satte deretter FSB til 355, og fikk blåskjerm. Har [b1.13125 vcore[/b], NB volt: 1.41, DRAM volt: 2.00.

Ja Øk vcore .....

 

Selv gått i den fella mange ganger før, drivi å sværta og banna på hvofor i hælvete den ikke vil boote

Ser ut som 1.3v eller eks. 1.5v i mitt tilfelle men så er det 1.13v eller for meg 1.15v

 

Edit: et tips til alle som er over 12år

Sitt på det små kaldet rommet ditt i en ullgenser, (foran PC-en) hør på noe god musikk og drik en kopp ordentlig svart kaffe med et stykke hjemmebakt blåbær pai til, noe av det beste man kan gjøre på en fredags kveld. Reineste lykkerusen det

 

Men nok OT

Så det nå ja , MEN.

 

Satte opp til 1.25000 nå, fikk heller ikke bootet på 355 FSB!

 

Det må være noe annet jeg gjør galt. Synes strap'en var litt høy...minnet ble dermed klokket til 946MHz

[The Ghost]

Du kan godt holde deg til 333strap til du nermer deg 400FSB, sett til 1.4v så vil den nok boote da 1.25v er under VID på de fleste CPU'r pluss at du har en quad core :nei:

[Centuss]

Yess..

 

Bootet med 333strap og 355 FSB. Hadde 1.31 i volt. Skal kjøre litt fremover nå, og se hva jeg får av frekvenser.

[Centuss]

Sånnnnnn ja!!!

 

FSB 400 og strap på 333. 3.6 GHz, 1.38vcore og hele dritten booter? Gogogo 4ghz?

[The Ghost]

go for it.

 

Selv går 3.8Ghz helt knall på en dual core på Intel stock HS
