5.4ghz and an e8500 anyone?
As many of you may already know i burnt out my 780i. On sunday i had to get a new mobo. I got a nice asus rampage extreme to put under DICE.
The rampage is a very nice and "cool" looking board. All the little do-dads it comes with are great to.  I also got some new ram as you can see in the pic.  Is a pretty beutiful board.   ^ LOLd at that tag for a long time. And yes that is a sticker on the mobo for you to put your name.  ^ ahhh there we go. All fixed up now. Time to get ready for dice. *pulls off dice pot from shelf and wipes dust off*  Beautiful, isnt it?  ^ A shot down in the pot The mobo showed up at my doorstep at about 3pm... By about 7 i had my whole board prepped for dice.  All prepped up and ready to go.  Wait a minute.... something is missing..... Oh yeah! [:lectrocrew:1]  The pot is all ready to go.  Ok finally all ready to bench... I boot it up and everything is working fine and dandy! Time for some overclocking (= I hop into the bios for the first time and i do some simple stuff just to see how good this is...(remember i only got the board 5 hrs ago [:lectrocrew:6] )  First attempt is 3.8ghz on almost stock voltages! (CPU temp always stays at 41c in windows when im sub zero.Its actually like -70c) This is thirsty for more! A few steps later im at 4.6Ghz still thirsty for more!  About 5 steps later im about to cross the bridge to 5ghz.  That is where it started getting tuff. Every setting in the bios mattered. I continue still. Finally after many failed attempts i pass 5 Ghz. [:jaydeejohn:3]  I still had some dry ice left so i had to push it further. Many many many reboots later:  Still had to push it though, its just not fast enough for me. Finally at 2am (11hrs after i got my board) i managed to figure out the highest voltage my chip would take. So i crank it up to that and raise the NB voltage alot. (1.87v) Things got very intense at this point. after many more attempts i was running low on dice. So i had to work fast. And then i passed 5.5ghz at 2:30am....  link:http://valid.canardpc.com/cache/screenshot/665555.png I was so happy. Next round ill get a different mobo, some ln2 and a ln2 pot for my nb. Ill see how far that takes me. I hope 5.9ghz isnt asking to much. I had alot of fun tonight with this board. I hope i can get a better one soon so i can clock this little devil even higher. The features like the "lcd poster" really help when overclocking this board. They will help you get that last little bit of speed out of it once you in windows.

lol at 1.87v on the vcore.
Great results dood. I didn't expect an x48 board to pull past 550 FSB.

Which stepping is this e8500? Thats right about where my first one topped out at on dice.
Edit: Wow im stupid haha didn't look at the cpuz

Nice
 Rampage Extreme is one of the best X48 boards, should FSB around 650 easy. Maybe try lower voltages on cpu, bigger voltage doesn't mean better clocks, especially for 1m/validation (lower voltage = cpu is colder). Have you used setfsb/clockgen? It's soo important tool when benching
