That kinda sux for a $600.00 chip. I havent tried on cold yet but 5280ish is max I am able to boot. Not sure if cold will help, or if I will even try it. I think 1155 for benching is still the best.

Not sure if you saw this, but Massman may be on to something here - http://hwbot.org/forum/showpost.php?...3&postcount=27

It may help decide whether to go cold. I can't test it for certain since I don't have a way to go sub-zero.

To save all that rebooting just see if the CPU will POST over DDR3-2600, almost all that will do 5.5 or so. We've binned many in the lab, and that's the quickest way.

Thanks, Raja! This is indeed much quicker; will try it now.

Thanks for sharing this method 1 month after X79 launch

Only one day after you - I always aim to please

Just boot 'em up once on the 125 BCLK multiplier with the memory set at 2600 and you are done.

I cant get 32mb Linx stable mate with these timings. I am prime stable though. I can get 16gb stable though Linx and Prime etc. 16gb I run VCCSA at 1.25v and VTT 1.25 for 2400 10 11 10 28 2T DRAM at 1.65. which Bios you running as settings change slightly with each Bios. Those are with 0901. Set Rampage tweak to mode 1.

Thanks!

Ill give it a try tonight. I wasnt using mode1, maybe that was my problem.

Gave this a quick try using Massmans method, booted to windows at 54 with 2 cores pretty easy. Ill try for higher later.
