Well sit back and enjoy the show! 😛
So just recently I bought a Max VIII from Amazon and it arrived Thursday. I went ahead and did my normal inspection and starting the build process. I was very impressed on how the board looked and felt. A heft (heavy) motherboard I might add. After the build, i decided to go ahead and do a benchmark and stress test but before I did that, I went into the Dual Intelligent Processor 5 software and used the auto function to do the OC. Once it was done I was surprised to find out that it OC'd my system to 20% which was surprising seeing that my last MB (that I had to RMA) was a Hero which the software OC'd to 15%. So once that finished I ran the RealBench / benchmark and passed without any problems. Next, I decided to run the RealBench / Stress test and that's where the problems started. no matter what time or amount of ram I selected, my system would lockup and crash. So I went into the bios this time and selected XMP which OC'd to .05%. Running the stress test now and it crashed already but after the 15min successful test. Anyone experience anything like this or can give me some tips as to where to troubleshoot? Tks

@Nate - Tks much for the reply. The board is the Maximus VIII Formula // Bios 1701 . My ram is ---- g.skill f4-3200c16d-16gvk . I'm fairly new to OC which is why i selected the auto-OC. Do you know of any sites i can use for ref for the settings you mentioned above? Also being the paranoid type, i noticed that when I was doing the stress test, at 100% max load it was getting above 80'C. I assume that one of the problems was the temps too high? Also in the BIOs I changed the OC to XMP if that helps . Tks in advance..
WHew 🙂 .. awesome I'll get you that info here soon ... TKs
I'm using AI Suite 3 / Dual Intelligent Processor 5 program. It has a window on the bottom that monitors temperature
