ASUS Maximus Formula (Special Edition) review
![]() |
By Steven Walton on November 2, 2007
Manufacturer: ASUS Find Motherboard prices |


Things went pretty well when we tried overclocking a Core 2 Duo E6700 processor (different from the previous benchmarks) using the ASUS Maximus Formula as we reached 3.68GHz using the Thermaltake V-1 heatsink. This is about the highest overclock we have obtained from this processor with this cooler. The E6700 is originally set to run at 2.66GHz so we are talking about a ~1GHz 'upgrade' with the use of aggressive settings and quality memory that can handle the FSB speeds.
