Stuff Linx, do you think you need that stability for benching ? I only Memtest my settings ( test 5 and 7 ) then test with 7 multi under air and then we mount the phase or pot :p

linX you crazy it would even @ 500x9 gets damn hot
linx so much harder n hotter than prime
you dont need no prime for benchin neither lol

I just like to get the 'hang' of the board before benching it Leeg. "You can only see the scratches in your car once you wash it yourself"

So far the board is very steady and darn fast. Tested 600x8.5 yesterday and passed 3hrs Prime95 with my new settings.

So I moved on to 600x9 Let's see how this will fair.

Here some more stability tests:

Keep in mind my Load-Line Calibration is disabled and your CPU may require less volts all around then mine.

Here's the BIOS [E8600x5100Mhzx600x8.5xStable]:

I did manage to work on a nice 5.4Ghz (600 x 9) config and it's working out great so far, problem is to Prime this I need better cooling:

[radaja]

very impressive Jor3lBR, makes me want to get another REX+dualcore for some fun

Thanks Radaja! Man where is that god like E8400 of yours man?!

[WhiteFireDragon]

very nice Jor3lBR. it's rare to see a 5ghz+ chip not crashing on a stability test. what was the cooling?

Thanks WhiteFireDragon

Cooling used was a modest OCZ Cryo-Z single stage. This is more for 24/7 use I'm moving on to a Dual Stage just for benching and the Cryo-Z is up for SALE.

[radaja]

Thanks Radaja! Man where is that god like E8400 of yours man?!

i sold it all

[kamieldehond]

i sold it all

i got his chip, but my dfi doesnt want to play and ant i dont have the money for an rex but damn i want 1

[Leeghoofd]

REX retails at 170 euro's at Alternate mate, what the heck are you waiting for !!! Sell the DFI and don't look back :p

[zsamz_]

your ut should do 4.5 easy
just try with 2x1 memory

[kamieldehond]

Ill give my dfi 1 last try and if it still will not play ball ill sell it and get me a REX Doubt ill get much money fot it tough

What is the best memory for the REX? I want to run 4gb

wanna trade

[kamieldehond]

wanna trade

what do you have in mind? plz send me a pm if you are serious

[CryptiK]

Very nice work Jor3lBR, the REX is the most fun board I have ever used bar none. You will have a great time with it for sure. Makes me want to dust off mine and buy a PSU for it so I can bench again.......

Thank you Cryptik don't hear from you in a while!

A lot of your posts here and on i4memory helped me to get this board 600x8.5 prime stable

Too bad I run out of cooling power to try to go further, it's a very solid board and easy to use. I will get it cold this month and put some results under it's belt before I part away with all my 775 stuff.

That makes two of us.

I never went back after mine died though, got a refund and went AMD again which is lots of fun clocking too but not as much as the RE.

Pushing FSB and memoryclocks on this board is addictive stuff.

Good to hear some of my info came in handy. You are going very well so far, will be very interested to see how you go with a better phase unit or LN2.

I've been away from things for a few months now, had to build a PC for my GF out of some gear I used for benching and haven't replaced it. Built an i7 system to use which I don't bench, and have been pursuing some other things. I still drop in from time to time to see what's happening here though, I do miss it.

That's too bad, you were going really well with it too before it died. It's good that you're enjoying the AMD stuff though, and that's what's important.

[rurik]

some twiks and 490FSB stable.great mobo!!!!

[CryptiK]

Nice work there rurik. The hard part will probably be getting Prime Large FFT's stable at high FSB with 2 x 2GB. Your NB is on water though, so you should have a good chance.

Exactly my feelings, AMD is fun, BUT S775 is even more fun.... so, should I buy a REX?

DON for the E8600 is a must and 9x600 stable and 10x600 with the proper cooling is possible

[Zeus]

Daniel, if i had to choose a S775 board, this would be the one without a doubt!

Flip back a few pages and you see why i liked it so much.

Go for it bud!

Thanks for the input, I'll buy one after my exams, Alternate has them for a ridiculously low price.

and Prime95 too.

Very nice work there

If you have never played with a REX, absolutely, get one. They are really great boards.
