it's been a while, but i busted out the Rampage Formula while another Rampage was drying off this weekend. needless to say, it really liked my E8600 under dry ice. it was a rather quick 20 minute break i took so only some 1M action but it sure was fun...



the Rampage Formula is a great board for this E8600 as an unsupported BIOS gives a rather nice boost in 1M so expect to see a bit more from this board with this CPU after i finish with the RE...



my first sub-8 second 1M run and at a pretty low frequency thanks to the boost. i wasn't really sure what to expect from this CPU but 5800MHz 1M isn't to shabby for only dry ice. i also had a quick go with my better E8400 and FSB run out around 600MHz. i was kind of hoping for a solid 620~640FSB but 6GHz later on with the E8600 will have to do i guess
