Maximus V Formula LN2 OCing Preview From Shamino & Andre

The above was done with Elpida BBSE chips using our tight Elpida BBSE BIOS preset as a base setting.

The Maxmius V Formula can go crazy high with VDimm and IMC-DRAM Offset, which is great for LN2’d memory. We will issue a note on IMC-DRAM Offset to trick the IMC at a later date. Please be warned not to try to use 2.40V Vcore as shown below. There is very little chance of your CPU surviving – or if your intention is otherwise….

Maximus V Formula 2x2GB @ 2933MHz CL5-11-7-28 (What is CL5 good for? SuperPi 32M! Which you will see posted later. It requires lots of VDIMM and Elpida BBSE chips as cold as possible

A note on LN2’d DRAM

• PSC scales on cold but beyond that it’s unnecessary and it might not even work too cold. Around -40ºC is enough to max out the DRAM and it may scale up to around ~1.95V.
• Elpida BBSE really scales on cold; the colder the better. Voltage scales up to ~2.30V
• Samsung are better just slightly chilled, with colder getting worse. Voltage scales up to ~2.20V
• Hynix scales on cold but beyond that it’s unnecessary and it might not even work too cold. Around -40ºC is enough to max out the DRAM and it may scale up to around ~1.95V.

Following the ROG Rampage IV Series success, we created a ton of presets for different memory chips in the BIOS:

• PSC are almost always 2GB sticks, and typically have rated RAS to CAS Delay much higher than CAS, for eg 8-11-8, 9-11-9, etc
• Hynix presets are for 4GB sticks that are usually rated 2133MHz or more, and have slopping upwards and then downwards rated timing, such as 9-11-10, 10-12-11. They normally don’t scale much past 1.67v as well.
• Samsung presets are for 4GB sticks that are usually rated 2133MHz or more and have slopping upwards and then evening out rated timing, such as 10-12-12. They normally scale up to 1.80v and can do unusually low TRAS at high speeds, such as 21.
