I'll have to try it out myself.. Cause I'm back! God I love this board... The FTW wouldn't even boot, but this baby booted up fine... I guess 2 weeks out of my computer case got rid of whatever charge was in it making it not work... For the FTW board... It's a known thing to where it hangs on the post because of how they do the vdroop control... Sending that back and hanging on if I want money back or get it...

Yeah, I haven't seen nothing at all good about the FTW board... I've seen a few that can do bad a$$ stuff... But, the guys that love Evga even are saying that the motherboards are going down the drain.... Just gotta see what I have money wise for the next best thing! lol

try 410 it's good cold. It let me hit 4.0ghz with this crappy ram I have and before I couldn't. This bios is supposed to help with memory and it appears it did.

I cannot believe how well my system, with xp performs on 512mb of DDR2 800 (overclocked to 900) and my cpu at 4.0ghz. I'm using a memory management program i'm sure that helping it.

No, the only one that can be flashed is the Max itself... They've tried over at XS, but it doesn't work

I'd say the Rampage myself also. The reason behind it, is the simple fact of how The Max, and Rampage are.. They made the one board, a complete SAME as the other. The only reason for the whole Extreme is that it has an All ready built Water block on the NB, and a better sounding card.. That's no reason, IMHO, to even go with teh whole "Extreme"... If you go water, do it right, and invest in proper NB, and Mosfet cooling.. The stock stuff, IMHO, isn't worth doing if you are really into it...

Now, if you don't care for ocing, and just want to WATER, cool everything to keep a straight oc, then it's cool... But, you don't need to get your NB cooled for that sort of thing. I've been sticking at 3.6 for the longest time, Thanks to TRT, and My NB is a little toasty if I didn't have a extra fan on it... The sound isn't a problem because of the fan's on my rad being a little louder..
