    Link #3 does not work for me - on prices I have no idea^^

    Its this one:

    evga_x58_4way_sli.jpg

    as or prices, not sure, given the x58 board is basically untested. The benefit going from the 3 way to 4 way SLI classified board is irrelevant nowadays (given 3d benching relevance at least, collectors tax is always a thing), and a 3 way SLI board has been listed for 6 months by now on here for 125€ and hasn't sold yet. With some luck 250€ for the combo, probably less.

    The prices for all Maximus III variants seem all over the place, could be worth anywhere from 90-140, the classied combo probably about the same.

    - my personal judgement for these at least, it could be very skewed off course. I wouldn‘t want to pay nearly as much for an evga x58 board (probably not above 80€) as it would really surprise me if it could come close to asus or Gigabyte for max bclk and it would just be to test another brand.

    @Leeghoofd needing clarification here.

     

    Two AM3 chips used in two different boards (one AM3 on AM2+), count as two subs? (so go by the mobo socket)

    Two different 775 boards used, one s771 cpu and one s775 cpu, count as two subs? (so go by the cpu socket)

    Which is correct? This thread has confused me :D

    And now to complicate it even more, does it matter which bench? For Ref Freq I could see the first line applying and for everything else the second line.

    Try to match the same uncore and mem freq/latencies and after you will see why you pay the extra money :).

    Nice job with this board !

    I had pretty good success getting uncore to reasonable on this board, at least a couple of Westmeres can do 4600 on air without much trouble. Getting 4600 on air is doable on quite a few of my chips and I've had a couple do 4800 at reasonable voltages. RAM might be an issue though, my Dom GT 2000 CL8 need 1.8V for 2000 7-7-7 and won't budge from there even with 1.9V...

    Most valuable pieces of hw:

    5) Rampage 3 Black / Corsair Gtx2

    4) Asus Ares / Mars / 780 Ti Lightning

    3) Golden 8700K

    2) Golden 9900K

    1) Allen's USB

    Don't wanna derail this, but what makes the Rampage III Black so special? It's certainly not BCLK as far as I can tell, I can beat that with a Rampage II...

    Edit: also missing the Z170M OCF?

    690/720 cas5 (tight?) at 2.3 V is sweet ! really. see if they can do spi32m, nonetheless, very impressive.

    Got really lucky with a couple sets of Adata Vitesta, 6 out of 10 sticks did at least 675 5-5-5 (loose) at 2.3V on my P5Q Deluxe for 8M, loaned the best pair of them to Quiekmew for a while as I'm currently not feeling like benching DDR2 stuff . I'll do more testing once I get a new board and the sticks back.

    Unless that's a typo and you mean 4,5Ghz that is 100% impossible :D

    They exist I guess, but aren't common, doubt those who have one want to sell theirs.
