Maximus ---> Rampage

[jokers_greg]

Right, I am sure some of you know that the Maximus and the Rampage are pactically the same board other than the chipset.

Well, people have shown by a quick flash of the bios that the x38 and x48 are very much the same chip.

I have just now flash my Maximus Formula with the lastest Rampage bios allowing me to get at some hidden features high FSB and a some how keep a lower voltage.

Guide can be found here. Scroll down a little.

Enjoy!

did this flash as well. The BIOS screen is like a plane's cocpit! Great board though

How about flashing my Rampage Formula with the Maximus BIOS?

Hi!

I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. I was going to buy the rampage formula, but I can get a cheap maximus formula for about 150€ and that’s a really good price for that MB. I need an fsb of about 500 and more for my e6750 to go over 4 GHz. Do you think I can go so far with the maximus and the rampage bios or should I go for the Rampage instead? And how hot does the x38 chip get when you compare it with the x48 is there a big difference?

Thx for your help

That maximus can easily get a FSB of 500Mhz with Dual cores.

I cannot guarantee but it is very very probable.

It depends more on the cpu than the board

Thanks, guys for your quick reply.

I have another question, did you had any other issues with that MB since you’ we bought it?

Thx

Nope, the board is a dream to work with. Practically perfect in every way.
