The Maximus III Formula is not even capable of finishing the 3.8GHz tests ... all other boards do this fluently ... :-/

seems something you are missing or that sample is really flakey

I've changed bioses now, same issue. I'll remount the cpu cooler.

Cooler was mounted perfectly, but the mainboard is getting worse and worse.

Massman,

What CPU are you using with the OC? Very interested in how this goes as I'm thinking of picking up one of these myself.

Also, is it a Engineering Sample or full retail?

Thanks for the info,

Kurg

Core i5 750, full retail.

it has probably been tested to the bone by the previous reviewer/ competition...

Better ask Milan for a new one

Must be the motherboard ... just switched cpu and cooler to the UD6 and 3.8GHz is perfectly stable here. I didn't even change or add cooling paste.

Last board is on the test bench. In total, I will have 405 benchmark results ... :-/

Can't believe any vendor has taken the time to fix the turbo-issues I've discussed in the first article: 3D and HDD are still hurt when you enable turbo mode :-/
