Be careful with the long bench sessions and the REX. Everytime I have spent hours benching the REX under extreme cold (LN2) the Fujitsu capacitor behind the socket blew. Each time it took the CPU with it. I am on my 4th REX and the CPU's lost were 1 - QX9650, and 3 - E8600. As far as I am concerned it is not if the cap will go it is when.
All my Asus board act weird with Line Load enabled above 1.65Vcore. It seems they are stable under load but show instability when booting or idle with LL enabled. I usually turn that off while benching.
