Another hoarder awakens

1. It really varies from board to board. The same CPU might do 650 32M air in one board, but fail 600 POST in another 650+ capable board. In my 14 years on 775 I couldn't figure this out, so I would normally just pick a dozen best MHz/volt cores on air, put all under LN2 and see what happens. 2/3. Do you expect to bench at 700 FSB with decent efficiency, or are you after the 750 FSB record? For the former, you would have to use Garbage Extreme or P5E3-Premium (P5E64-WS Evo can also be an option), but those generally don't go above 710-720 no matter how well you bin or cool the NB. For

I don't have any hardware anymore. I got rid of all of it

This E6750 makes things look way too easy, don't it?

Told you Rampage Extremes are garbage...

Same L731A that I sent you a while back?

10060227 or the '2009 sticks?

@bob Yes. It's quite an old/known issue for Intel LGA775 chipsets - when using strap 400, 2:3 is reported as 3:5 http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?199241-3-5-divider-on-X38-P35-X48-P45-is-broken-is-2-3-in-reality-on-400-strap So if your score is strap 400, the real memory frequency is 761.2 MHz. You can also verify this by checking max clocks with any other divider/strap - should be around 760 MHz.

Careful with 3:5 on P45 :)

Nice to see you active again! Were you running 3:5 with strap 200 or 400? If it's the latter, there might be something you've forgot after all these years :)

5940 air?

Which model of beer did you use for this record?

Dat RAM clock

Now that's a big old-school achievement. Kudos on being the first!

If anything should raise questions here is the validity of wPrime as a benchmark. The damn thing only seems to scale on raw CPU clockspeed and number of cores, without much regard to its architecture.
