I still haven't flashed to the Rampage yet... The lower NB volts are becoming very tempting now that it's getting warmer out.

it was easy as pie, I did it within 10 minutes of installing the mobo
I've been having a slight bit of instability though that I'm trying to diagnose
every once it a while it has trouble posting, then it'll freeze in the BIOS or on the splash screen...I think it might just be BIOS settings though

all stock except I believe I bumped the NB up to like 1.38V or so, I'll have to check to be sure though

if you have subzero cooling and you need 550-560+,540 is not helping at all..

not but if you get ddr2 1200 thats going to be great. Don't use any more voltage than 2.2v those chips are sensitive big time.

i see a lot f truble with asus mobo, bios error, bad oc, overheating, and rma is too bad.
asus have a lot of publicity, and a highest prices too; mobos like abit, foxconn, gigabyte and dfi are high end products.
i think now and always that asus are a mediocre, only have a good publicity and godd look for our eyes

TRT740... were you having problems with the ballistix on the new bios? you've got me worried now.
i know from experience that the older dual sided ballistix and the new single sided ones do fine on the 7 maximus' i've had now. i honestly dont understand the problems people are telling me about this ram/mobo combo.
