Hey guys. I just got my REX and did a little fsb testing today. Just stuck with the x6 multi and went for raw fsb.
Setup: All air for now
E8400 E0 batch Q829A
Rampage Extreme bios 0901
Mushkin 2x2gb 1600mhz 7-7-6-18 PL10 for all runs
vista hp 64-bit
8800gtx
Antec 650w
The video card and PSU is just a spare for testing. While testing I found that at 600fsb I could get windows to quit crashing until I changed my CPU/NB skews to 600/400. After that it was gravy. Seems a little off from what most of you guys are running
