As I said before: Performance Level is at the middle of the three options. If the options are standard-turbo-extreme, it's at turbo. But I don't know the name of the setting by heart.
At Standard, the system doesn't boot at 530FSB

I would give 1.36NB voltage, MCH reference around 0.74 a shot, works fine on my EP45 UD3P till 580FSB... I have noticed on the Rampage extreme if I can't pass that memtest 7 test, that 3druns would be pretty hard to do... P45 remains a very sensitive chipset regarding volts...

Here's the run we did with Blind for the GOOC qualifiers

I had issues with benching 3D over 5.6Ghz due to heat, maybe that's ya issue too

What heat? The northbridge feels like roomtemperature... And CPU is cooled by vapochill. with evaporator-temp on the display hadly above -40°C
I'll try that 1.36Vnb (MCH Core) and 0.74 MCH Ref.

Performance level is TR(R)D (not sure anymore, it's the first one you encounter in that section) in the advanced ram section, the setting you are claiming did nothing to me... check with MemSet Johan, in Blind's piccie it's at 10, mostly I boot with 10 and then lower via MemSet and then run the PI...

My Nb without active fan is pretty warm, indicating good conductivity and that's even at 333FSB with just 1.2NB volts. Plz remove the heatpipe and redo the TIM

first post updated with current standings :)

Higher PL = Higher FSB possible?

I felt at the base below the watercooling part. 3x120mm fans around it do their job :)

Only two participants?

Current memset-settings, used from 530 to 570MHz: http://www.johanlemaire.be/OC/E8600/memset.JPG
As the memory clocks all the way up to 570MHz with those settings, I don't think there need to be much changes.

I think I lost the right CPU/PCIe clock drive and CPU/MCH Clock skew. I couldn't run 545MHz anymore a few seconds ago.

50% chance to win :)
you only need to beat MM's scores,

Try to bench at 5.55 3D Johan you can breach 101K for sure (try maybe 11 PL). Try to give the CPU more FSB term voltage for higher speeds... Seems yours is volt hungry. Hope you can make it dude ! And in the worst case scenario hopefully you can join the Massman at the contest. Now I know why he kept my board and the Blades lol....

yup, at the end of the day we can send two people to Tweakers.net to beat them all and hope for qualification :D

Teamname : Power To The User Massman :p

Too bad I can't submit the 32M of the GOOC finals :p
