DopeLex commented on own score:

Final Score. Unfortunately the CPU degenerated very much, it was only bootable above 650 with one Core disabled and on SingleStage while 2 years ago i validated this one with 670 Mhz FSB on water. It seems that i tortured it to much over the years. Also checked an E8200 and an E8500 which were even worse - so all hope for a new personal record in this challenge is gone. :-( Tested the 2 best of 3 RE's - both can do more than 640Mhz SuperPi32m and 3DMarks but only with the right CPU.

you have tested all the three rampage ?

For this challenge - i only used the 2 best one's. But had many RE's and those three are the best i tested with the time and years (i couldn't have enough of this sweathearts ). The third one is very good for 65nm CPU's (low PL and also high RAM) but not for 45nm FSB. Nevertheless - also good scores from you and also nice to see that DFI is still performing very well with the P45 Boards.
