Well, I've started playing with this board yesterday and had hard times figuring out how to properly use it.
Both the motherboard and the chip aren't hand picked... just out of the box.
So please don't pay attention to time efficiency, it's more likely brutal BCLK clocking here. As you'll see it was required to sacrify timings in order to push up the BCLK.



114MHz pci-e finally proved to be good enough.

1.35vtt was too much, I used 1.3v.




By setting maxmem to 600 and Memory Low Gap to 2.5Gb I did 248.4x21 Spi32M as well. I've to say, to improve stability at very high BCLK, maxmem=600 is mandatory, nothing to do with efficiency but with stability.
Tomorrow I'll put the setup under another cascade...

I got a boring cold-boot at -40C with this board (-86C on the DFI DK X58 which is probably the CPU bug)
