[BIGBEASTYBURGER]

nice invisible computer case

[Armaangandevia1]

[Shraptorian]

This is the most asked question on youtube, but im going to ask it anyway. What is the song in this video? :-/

[AsnTigerzz]

daang u need a big pc case for that muther fker :L

[popothecatathome]

good old 8800ultra

[thelightguy1]

What a great set up. I admire your G80. Are you considering going SLI? Nvidia is pretty good with that. Also, it makes me want to get one of those multi-rack CPU heatsinks. Considering that it's socket LGA 775.

[immadodgeguy]

that X-Fi of yours reminds me alot of an old audigy platinum i salvaged from an old computer

[TheAwesomeSplodge]

I've got the same mobo as you, and I'm thinking about getting the turniq tower like you have. Is it difficult to fit and does it stop access to any other ports on the mobo or anything? Plus, does it fit in the case easily?

[3600mhz]

that sound card has a heatsink.

[hdgamer123]

how much is the TJ07

[lizardmannnn]

nice sound card

[vendetta607]

wow lol

[meekoman25]

Why don't you have both LAN lines connected?

[MrHydez]

why would i need Both in a bench session?

[rozzyiscrazy]

how much did it cost u all of that

[MADdrummer971]

What kind of heat sink is that???

[MrHydez]

that's aircooling friend, and it's this tuniq is the legend of ac.

[ProjectRealityBf2]

HOLY FUCK is that a heat sink my god thats bigger then my penis and my penis is pretty BIG!

[Joaovitordecezaro]

RETARDED IS YOU

[ProjectRealityBf2]

"retarded is you" wtf does that even mean speak english mother fucker!

[soliosMedia]

OMG.. Hes is Yoda :)

[IRud3Bwoy]

LOL

[bondcorp10999]

yer how stable is that overclock the max i can get it 3.5 any thing over that windowes just keeps crashing

[mechantnabil]

Does ur system run stable at 4.2 ? what are the settings that u have used to obtain that level of overclocking ?

[chino555]

that tuniq tower is one of the best air cooling heatsinks there are its 2nd =) love it

[ZZAKON]

Do you need the tower or it's there just to kill space and aesthetics?

[MrHydez]

yes of course, this was just a OC session.

[tempsa2]

Looks like Hardware -porn...

[qbprince23]

rifle tower heatsink? i know its 120mm tho

[will2993]

[sbirro7]

[ReColaHH]

Looks like the computers guts got ripped out. <_<

[SI3MSON]

Dont buy TUNIQ tower 120!! Its shit!! And its very noisy!

[Jay12341235]

[Espada6666]

[Ut2k3SuddenDeath]

[mikeyLOLOL]

[fuckingsavage]

Nice, that's a Tuniq tower 120 right? I want one, can you change the fan inside that cooler?

[MrHydez]

yes, of course

cheers

[kewie727]

wow how did you get that to 4.2ghz man! sweet nice vid too!

[aznturtle1]

maximus formula is a very stable board made or extreme overclocking they hav the new asus maxumus formula 2

[MrSpartan1717]

dude get sub off the table and away from the desk it will sound and be less harmfull to your pc

[MrHydez]

that sub is my older one and doesn't have that

magnetizer effect as Z5500 sub (my actual sound speakers)

thanks for the advice anyway

cheers

[ThatFlipKidxD]

"Oh, I forgot I had a CPU laying around... In my case."

[MrHydez]

lol, at the time was E6850 installed, and the one in the case was a kentsfield Q6600.

[nissan300ztt]

sorry had to be a smart ass its in my nature...but yeah just a small though...perhaps some designed airflow.

[nissan300ztt]

you know just a thought...the motherboard and stuff is suppose to go inside the case GIT

[MrHydez]

ooh really? you've figured that out, all by your self alone? lol

[aaronooi]

lol, why dont u use the zalman fan down there? does the Tuniq Tower is better?

[MrHydez]

yes it is, Tuniq still is my favourite air cooler, but zalman is very easy and simple to install, so when it comes to quick changes or new system's i apply zalman.

cheers

[brandon123g2]

hey me and you got the same keyboard and mouse :D

[aznturtle1]

too bad maximus only supports crossfire

[xvivalaromanx]

omg i would marry that set-up no joke

good stuff

[caretaker]

wahts the name of that cpu cooler? its like a giant building

[Crosswizz]

that would be the 'Tuniq Tower 120' Got one myself.

[caretaker]

is taht cpu cooler would fit in an ANTEC 1200 case?? im not quite sure?

[RedxThorax]

It will.

[dramaisthebest]

dude obviously the antec 1200 is a full size case of course it will fit

[soddycool]

sorry.. my engllish is fucku upp becaus my keybord is kinda fucked upp... but yes well i dont know if its wort it since its not soo much diferenc bud the northbirge?

[soddycool]

bud wuild i reconice diference in games?

[MrHydez]

you'll find better memory bandwith and control

that might traduce in better performance obviously but nothing big off course, they're

almost the same, with few minor changes...

[soddycool]

would you recomed this mobo? im getting this mobo ore the rambage.. what would be best?

[MrHydez]

Rampage Formula as better northbridge and more

complete bios for OC options and quite more precision and stability. no to mention the pin-fin heat dissipation.

my mobo as the same bios Rampage as, i flashed

mine to Rampage Formula so still is x38!

cheers

[KingMudkipz]

The X48 is just a higher binned X38. Nothing more.

[yadielp9]

big graphics card

[CrzayMazy]

Good cooling!

[AmnAbdulla9]

the sound is extremely clear! I bet it's the Sound Blaster X-Fi soundcard that you have installed right there, it's an amazing piece of hardware.

[MrHydez]

yap SB xtremegamer Fatal1ty, :D

[bionix071290]

he's using a P5K-E look at his motherboard retail box packaging.

[MrHydez]

i have P5K E and Maximus Formula as well

cheers

[tombiddles]

oh ok, cause i was wondering whether to buy the asus p5k premium wifi or the maximus formula...

thanks!!

[ricta856]

whats the zalman cooling?

[RuddeK]

What CPU cooler u use?

[MrHydez]

Intel Core 2 Duo E8500@ 3.1GHz

[RuddeK]

CPU cooler not teh CPU xP

[NightzKidz]

Ultra ChillTec Thermal Electric CPU Cooler

[tombiddles]

do you miss out on not having e sata??

[MrHydez]

E-sata is preety nice feature, but i don't have

any external drives so i supose i dont.

i have 3 internal DVD drives i think it's enough.

[fuji9991]

lol its a monster

[jaironzz]

Nice looking Rig.

[tombiddles]

how stable is the maximus formula for overclocking??

[MrHydez]

how can i say in one word?

AWSOME! great features to overclock, but

if you're going for watercooling i wouldn't

recomend Maximus because the copper is really

damm hard to remove (mosfet, nb heatsink,

southbridge...)

[tombiddles]

thanks m8,

im not intending to watercool so gdgd!

[tombiddles]

do you think this board is better with ati graphics cards or nvidia ones??

[wildeyed82]

This board has "Intel Fast Memory Access" what is the advantage of this technology? I read on Asus website that it helps to oc ram better, did you find it useful?.

[FuckSerbia90]

is that video card a nvidia 9800 gtx cause it looks like it is

[wildeyed82]

No it's not 9800GTX, it looks like 8800GTX or something I am not sure though.

[MrHydez]

lol GEFORCE 8800 ULTRA The 2007 nivida TOP CARD

[arhibaldx]

OMFG X-Fi Fatal1ty for 2.0 speakers!?!?!

[arhibaldx]

sry i saw woofer, its 2.1 xD

[MrHydez]

does are 5.1, but if search for recent posts

you'll find Z5500 5.1 lol

[ItOnlyTakes4]

whered u buy that desk? i wanzzz

[4nt1pr0]

I tought maximus formula have watercooled northbridge...

[ItOnlyTakes4]

the deluxe version does.

[CGE10]

no the SE has like mine and im only 14

[CoolioAlert]

What is the revision # on the board?

[MrHydez]

rev.01 and yours?

[CoolioAlert]

On my board itself it says "Rev.1.03G"

[SimonLANO]

What ur Northbridge voltage?

[MrHydez]

it depends on FSB, Multi i'm using in another words, the OC!

right now 1.49v ... but the weather is changing

and i might reduce oc profile.

[MrHydez]

you can turn your maximus formula into rampage formula Actually they seem to be exactly the same board with few very minor differences. what happens when Maximus Formula is modified to Rampage Formula?

his modification will not have any effect to the functionality of your motherboard.

There are few things related to this modification and most of them can be considered good.

Bios recomendation: @1007

enjoy

special thanks to the author The Stilt from XS

[toddclemmer]

Do you know if this mod will mess up a OEM vista liscense?

[MrHydez]

no way... microsoft as nothing to do with ASUS, besides only in case of damage you can have warranty issues... but as you can see i've runned many stress tests and i've overclocked preety well and so far so good!

[toddclemmer]

I know that, but OEM vista is designed to operate with only ONE MoBo. If you switch your mobo it breaks the liscense (i think). just wondering if you were using a OEM copy of vista.

[masoiaXL]

what OS do you have on the rig?

Does Vista run on the Asus Maximus Formula?

thanks in advance :)

[MrHydez]

XP 32 in one part and Vista 64 in another

[Erauwers]

lcd 22?

[MrHydez]

Someday i hope :D

[w4Rd3n87]

just a question: what is your temp on the _NB?

[MrHydez]

well i have to say it's high 45ºc with 400FSB x9 and strap 266 cumps

[ifuxwituz]

wow ok i thought my MB temps of 32 were to high...im used to seeing 24-28 in the winter now that its hot out its 32 so im pretty sure its safe to say i could bump bump bump bump the NB VOLTS UP! ...lol...i got the p5e they are pretty much the same board just the maxi got more shizzle in it...nice build

[MrHydez]

if the moobos sensor isn't messed up off course, why do you doubt? what are your temps? thanks

[MrHydez]

i've been testing Kentsfield Q6600 and i must say that it dissapoint me at 4.5GHz, high latency, 12s SuperPI couldn't reach 10k reading mem Everest... conclusion 70% OC couldn't get the performance of E68050 a with 34% ... this week upcoming EVGA 680i and G92 8800GTS and Corsair 8500 1066 CL5 justo to test :)

[xay0r]

SuperPi only uses one core, which makes it seem like the E6850 is better than the Q6600.

[thezodiac8973]

is the cooling enough cause i bought 5 case fans!

[MrHydez]

well me too i'm changing to 4 Noctua 120mm plus 2 90mm... it improves significantly the airflow.
