Got my CPU up from 3GHZ to 3.6GHZ! Also investigating flashing the bios with
that of a flashier motherboard, but that could end in tears...... |

Overclocking

You don't EVER flash the BIOS of a motherboard with anything other than a different and usually updated BIOS specifically made for that brand, revision and model of board. M/b's are not built to a standard reference design like many videocards are, where it is sometimes possible, for example, to flash a reference design Galaxy 8800GT with an eVGA 8800GT BIOS or XFX 8800GT BIOS. Even this can come to grief on occasion. Flash that motherboard with the BIOS of another "flashier" model and you'll likely wind up regretting it big time. |

Overclocking
I did flash it, but it would not recognize my CPU, so I'm back to the proper
Maximus Formula 0407. I saw that the file serial numbers were the same for the Rampage Formula and the Maximus Formula on both boards most recent bios. I'll settle for my current overclock, maybe push it a bit more when I get my water blocks. |
