  1. I have 2 new things to mention: 1. On high death rate of REX - one of the possible explanations. Board has 2 bios chips and has a bios option that allows board to start with second chip in case POST with primary chip fails (iROG crashfree bios - options are keep or switch). So, I assume and had seen it in practice, in case bios chips contain different firmware versions, settings saved in CMOS for 1301 equal dangerous settings for 1212 as an example (i.e. I had 1.7vnb with 1301, switched bios with jumper without clrcmos and on first boot it appears that vnb is set to maximum 2.1v - should I occasionally save those settings I would fry the board). Having that crashfree bios rule as switch exposes REX to this risk easily. So, two rules - flash both bios chips with same firmware and set iROG rule as "keep". Actually, I like the position of ground1556 of not having CMOS battery in REX at all too - who knows how stable that crashfree function is. 2. "DRAM static read control" should be "DDR3 read levelling" and "DRAM dynamic write control" should be "DDR3 write leveling". I always had read enabled and write disabled but it seems like both options are fine to be enabled with no performance hit. Enabled dynamic write control fixed an overclockability issue for chA (couldn't break 2GHz stable and straps 266/333 didn't work for me with that control disabled). More info on DDR3 read/srite leveling can be found here - looks like good thing: https://daffy1108.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/understanding-ddr3-write-leveling-and-read-leveling/
  2. great find yos! Hope to see more benchmarks and more globals from this amd setup:)
  3. Cl5 equals cl6 in performance as RTL stays the same - was using it just because it wasn't giving me extra problems. As of air vs SS cooling, stability to run 32m back to back several times: with BBSE 8-10-7-22 wcl6 trfc 74 vs 6-9-6-18 wcl7 trfc 58 (1.85v vs 1.9v), with PSC 7-11-7-25 wcl6 trfc 88 vs 5-11-6-21 wcl6 trfc 64 (1.9v vs 2.1v). tRCD of 10 is very unstable with these psc, 1 successful run out of 10 attempts.
  4. Things to beat: 25912 in 3Dmark01 by Mr.Scott 20010 in 3DMark03 by Max-Hardware_Numb3rs 74818 in Aquamark by DerBrain PS. So much waste in submissions search
  5. Another great result, looks like cpus gain +100% bclk overclockability when you are pushing em:)
  6. Quite noob about it. Does it mean that e7xxx are based on wolfdale-3M silicon most of the time but 2-4% of these cpus may be based on wolfdale-6M? How then one can distinguish these?
  7. Yep, board was limiting us on clocks (x59 max multi, x22 max mem multi, 108.1 max stable bclk) but was able to do coldboot with full pot - that was great advantage.
  8. Very strong, glad you invested your time into finding the real potential of these boards:)
  9. 8x, where x stands for month #. The earlier the better. 9x seems to be worse.
