Maximus Extreme OC

[jorel]

Hi

keep trying to oc this beauty but no luck. Every time I make a change and save it the pc shuts down. I restart and the changes sometimes save and other times they dont.

However I have read theads on oc'ing and I dont get it. If anyone has this board can you pass on any settings you may have and how to get this mobo moving. Really frustrating it is...

Cheers

Jorel

I'm running this board with a Xeon X3220 @ 3Ghz.. I just set the multiplier to 9 and the FSB to 333Mhz... Left everything else on auto...

Runs like a dream, and really cool with my Titan Amanda.

One thing though... I can find the bloody Speedstep settings in this BIOS? Maybe I'm being blind!

Anyone tell me where it is?

Ta!

Are you playing with the voltages at all? I'm new to Asus boards and it seems if you trust the voltages to 'Auto' then they end up a bit high...anyone got any recommended voltages for northbridge and southbridge?

I notice it also seems to run the voltages a bit higher than expected...I set DRAM voltage to 2.2V and Asus' PC Probe reckons it's 2.32V. I then set DRAM to 2.08V and I get 2.21V in OS. Not trying to hi-jack your thread, just you may be having similar issues to me.

edit: only just found the official thread, seems like a common issue, probably not your problem.
