Well... First of all, nothing about breaking records here.
I've recieved this board at the end of last week. I was amazed by its layout... Then, I've quickly dived into MCHBAR as I'm used to, and, of course, I've played with my favorite benchmark... Spi lol Not to get really fast times but just to assess offset changes.
Please excuse me for disorder... I fact, I didn't really arrange the screenies, and just ramdonly took them for upload. Many of them are showing language machine coding for some memory controller hub registers. I've prefered not to talk about them here but if some of you really want to know (not just to ask "give me the tweaks" without any sort of understanding), I would be happy to reply. Basically, I've played with some offsets of memory sizing register, and others such as tWTR, tRTR, tRTP, RDPA from channel timings registers (those already edited when using memset). I've never used copy-waza or so-called OS tweaks (instead of LSC set to 1... of course).

I've to spend more time under cascade. I've modded a BIOS (microcode 067Ah) for Spi 1M and I'm considering giving it a try at decent high clocks. BTW although actual E8600 really rocks, it cold-boots at about -80C which makes each reboot very boring.
