Asus Rampage Formula (X48) Thread

So no difference?

[RPIJG]

it may address issues with certain configurations, but it did nothing for me.

I'm running the 0601. I haven't seen any difference. I think it just helped with RAID configurations.

[TFL Replica]

I should have known futuremark has little credibility.
Running rev 308, since I currently have no issues of any sort are any of the newer bios revisions worth it?

[RPIJG]

I think 0410 was the last good bios with stability improvements for me.

I have done a similary test with 0601 as I did with 0410 with my Rampage Formula Rig and I can say right away that for me and my Micron D9GKX 0407 is still the best.

My max OC with my Cellshock PC8000 and Kingston HyperX PC9600 went down with ~35MHz between 0407 and 0410 and with 0601 it dropt ~10MHz more, not much but it get lower and I don´t like it, it was the same with 2x1 and 4x1.

I tried my 2x2 Corsair Dominator PC8500 and it went down with ~10MHz between 0407 and 0410 and with 0601 it dropt ~10MHz more.

I had the same drop with 0408 as with 0410.

It seems like my Micro D9GKX don´t like the 0408, 0410 or the 0601 BIOS.

I could not clock my E8600 any higher with 0408, 0410 or the 0601 then with 0407, so for now I stay with 0407 until something better comes along.

im with the 0410 bios finishing the overclock and im having problems with the Transaction Booste, DRAM Static Read Control and Clock twister.

if i set Transaction Booster to 7 or 8 only works with Clock Twister to manual.

the DRAM Static Read Control should it be Enable or not??

the settings i have are:

E8600 @ 475x9 4275mhz
4GB OCZ @ 950mhz 4-4-4-12 2T

any help how to put this 3 settings??

[error10]

Let's see.

I have AI Clock Twister = Strong
DRAM Static Read Control = Disabled

Transaction Booster is highly system dependent. It has to be retuned every time you change your FSB speed, strap, or DRAM speed. Start high, and knock it down by 1 on each boot. If the system gets to the POST screen, then the setting will work. If it hangs at DET DRAM then you've gone too tight, and loosen it up by 1. Then it's set.

[menko2]

thank you!!!

i got Transaction Booster to 8 (at 7 wont post at all).
AI Clock Twister = moderate
DRAM Static Read Control = Disabled

will it be fine like this??
