That margin to second place! GJ!

Fake clock in cpuz, it is strap 400 2:3 being detected like this. For me, it is more about cpu/nb skews (>600 should be smth like 300/0, >625 300/100, >640 400/100) and gtl settings. This one was binned out of 4 samples, 3 are consistent @625mhz, 1 is failing even at 600.

Actually s266 2:3 direct boot @643 was doable before repair (SB swap) - I think I should just try different cpu, this one had issues starting from 625mhz on core0 and it is hard to tell cpu limit from potential issues with the board.

2:3 posts but freezes after usb init, 5:8 works but requires 7-7-6. I will re-run with another cpu and fresh windows installation, hopefully will make runs with both a.m. dividers.

Nice one Alex!

I have a nice collection for pre-nehalem era of Asus boards (although no REX x48). Here is the link posted at vlab.su - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-NAgz5wvIdJV2NrbHJvQUZqbkU/view For other brands, you have to search and usually these are "pay to access" resources. There are some boardview files available for MSI, Gigabyte, modern Asus. Important note - viewing software may be different. Sometimes these are not as comfortable and easy as the above - Asus TSICT etc are pain in the ass to use.

Haven't checked that. Seems like board will trigger protection if external vrm is being sensed. PS. Attached is A7N8X-E boardview file and boardview software - should be easy to understand. BoardViewer A7N8X-E.rar

I'm quite sure we get sub-4m with this generation

I think another option to go below -200C is to use sealed ln2 container that is fed ln2 through capillary tube and vacuum this container by pump - to achieve lower boiling point with pressure drop. Z.O.T. guys did smth like that 10 years ago.

Very strong!

that IS efficiency

Ha, great one!

Not bad! Like that sb cooler)

super score

Cool score!

Cheater!

Great avalanche of s478 wprime lately. Please make a single score with any of your cpus within a clock limit of average air cooling so I can have a reference score to compare efficiency then.

Well done but why not s775 board?

Хорош!

In the hottest days of last summer, when I run both single stage units and something hot, I had easy +40C in the room even with ventilation:) So discomfort is not an argument:)

When I was new to competitive overclocking I had s775 setup that was doing 3.75 ghz in summer and 4.1ghz in winter with open windows - exact same hardware and placement in the room. So what is air cooling?) Single stage actually gives much less spread in temperatures.

Up

Sounds nice Roman!

That mounting kit is awesome, what weight?
