I have a P5K Deluxe and it has been pretty awesome, with very few problems right from day one. Others seem to like the Abit IP35, but I havent used one of those.

I tried the latest bios too but since I couldn't even get the board to post with the same settings, I went back to the initial release.

Welcome to the forums

Sounds like you have been lucky, especially if the initial release is working well

YouTube - Extreme Overclocking - Part 2

i ask the guy how he get´s 590 Mhz fsb work, here the answere,...

"I use stock bios, 0401 I think... and I have 1.02G revision
All auto exept Vcore and Vdimm.
It depends on your ram and cooling what you can set here.

This run was done @ 2v core and 2,5v Vdimm.
Be carefull, Vdimm had 0.1v overvoltage from bios setting.

I also disable all onboard devices and all cpu funtions in bios"

Hello Clunk,

Just marvelled at your cpuz (valid.x86-secret.com 263656)

I've been following this thread after buying a Max SE and Q6600 G0. I was wondering if u could post all your bios settings for this o/c?

PS
What cooling are you using? If it's water what rad, pump, res?, block.

Sorry if I've missed the obvious.

Welcome to the forums

I didnt make a note of my BIOS settings unfortunately, but I will be having another play later, so I'll try and remember.

Cooling used;

Standard high end water cooling, 2 loops.

Loop 1.

• D-Tek Fuzion CPU block
• Thermochill PA120.3
• 6x Yate Loon Push/Pull
• DDC ultra pump + Petras top
• Swiftech MCRES.

Loop 2 for GPU and NB.

• EK GTX full cover block
• DD Intel chipset block, standard fittings.
• Thermochill PA120.2
• D-Tek pump
• Swiftech MCRES.

All using 1/2" ID tubing.

Revolutionx has done better than me, but he has got his radiator outside. I've got him in my sights though

Got any piccys sound like an interesting setup clunk, I will try to take some of my CM Stacker & Asetek Kit and upload them when I can. I can't say that it's very impressive but it get's the job done. I won't be able to move the big heavy bstrd for a while though as I broke my fingers the other week. All I can say about that is I was far too drunk and that I don't suggest falling over with a monkey on your back when your in a drunken frenzy of crazyness .

Mountain Mods U2-UFO Project.

Thread needs updating, but thats the build

I also try and avoid falling over when carrying monkeys, them and Giraffes - Falling whilst carrying a Giraffe can lead to an incident known as "bagpipeing".

Monster setup there Clunk.

"6x Yate Loon Push/Pull"

Couldn't figure out what a "Yate Loon" was until I realized they where fans. I'm obviously well up to speed

Back on topic........

Has anybody tried the 701 bios?

ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/so...ximus_Formula/

[Clunk]

Didnt know there was a 702 BIOS...checked this morning as well.

Aha..BIOS 0701 on the FTP thanks

[nick_000000]

Very nice Clunk shame about the build quility of the case it looks like it would be a nice case if Mountain Mods wern't so sloppy.
