Another one of E8500 better than two previous. Cascade repaired 1 week ago and this is first verification with real load.

Awesome job mate! Congrats

Wooooooooow!

Amazing! Some BIOS settings for mere mortals? ^^

So you are in >700FSB club?) No jokes, great achievement. What was your air limit?

great

Epic work!

One of 2 REX's to do 700+ ! Killer job Griff

Welcome to 700Mhz Club :) Bravo GRIFF !!!

Thank you guys. With this cpu on Cascade and NB on air I haven't tried. I will try in the coming days. Impression that I am limited by the CPU. In my opinion the lack of over 700 results due to the cost and rarity of these boards. I have 3 other non-functioning ones. Two of which have SB dead. Let's see how they will go up once they are repaired. I wanted to say thanks to Tapakah, he sold me this card because he didn't go over 600 of fsb. The problem was the lack of compound between the NB and the heat sink.

Well done! What temps on CPU PWM without heatsink?

Very nice work ! Grats !

-15   -25 on bios 

amazing, still love this platform

So just like my NIB board I bought from L0ud. Here is the factory paste job

 

Crazy! How did I miss this...

You solve this problem with 1mm copper plate between NB and heat think or use this board with custom NB cooler.

since these boards have problems with SB (they fail without warning and reasons) I suggest putting a small heat sink on the SB too.

Interesting. Symptoms of SB death?

First case: - data lines of the usb ports or a usb port only in short or almost, normal resistance must be on the 1-10Mohm

Second case: -- heating, even minimal, of the SB from the card off, power supply connected to the 220V.  It heats up because the internal circuit of the SB supplied with 5Vsb voltage has low or short resistance. Normally in this case the card does not switch on.

The second case also helps identify dead chipsets on modern platforms. If they burn your fingers after trying to turn the system on a couple times they are likely dead.

Third case: - SB overheating from the card on.  It normally warms up so much that you can't hold your finger over it. 

Symptoms preliminary to death: difficulty or inability to detect USB and HDD devices at startup.
