How good is that CPU at ambient? I know it doesn't mean everything under cold, just curious :D

No clue, only installed OS at stock speeds. But we have memory issues with the chipset, 2133 is no go and triple channel is tough even at 1866

I'm surprised you even got this far. X58 usually doesn't work on LN2 at all unless you run FSB at near 200. Usual multis for 980X are x31 or x33 in such a case.

board doesn't post with them FSB ?

32nm isn't that problematic with LN2 as far as I've observed - Jokot was running about the same BCLK at -120°C as on ambient on his x5650 (also managed about the same bclk on ambient, off course nowhere near the same bench able frequency). Gonna put my own stuff under dice soon, my 269.65 BCLK (under air) E5649 is gonna need that...
