    ok yeah doesnt say anything about the cooler but i know its air and he is ranked 3rd or something in the air category he needs to hit 5.4

    Also i watched the intel podcast last night on the intel retail site and they claim 5.7ghz is max OC on the 2600k

    You can try out 4.4GHz and it should be fine. If you ever get a crash, just set the speed back down. I only had you go to 4.2 for now cause its still overkill. Just set the CPU ratio to 44 instead of 42. The speed is the ratio x100

    here is 2500k at 4.5 ghz ... prime95 ... i hit 60 at max temp

    was very easy to get stable at 4.5 and im happy with my results ... I doubt ill try to get higher as i see now point in it right now

    So with a 2500k hyper 212+ cooler sabertooth p67 mobo ... you can easily have this!!!

    Those are some insanely good temperatures for that speed and load!

    That hyper is doing pretty good at 1.35v... I think you got one of the 10% chips =p

    Normally I dont like Hard Forum, but that ASUS rep posted a good guide there (and on other forums the same guide). It is pretty good.

    Highlights:

    PLL Overvolt = enabled
    EIST = enabled
    C1E = enabled
    VRM frequency 350 - 400
    phase control = extreme
    duty control = extreme

    Offset voltage type is better than setting specific voltage.
    Dont use high levels of VDroop, just 1 or 2 levels up from the lowest

    Dont go above 1.45 volts on the core
    Dont go above 85 degrees with 100% load. Load temp should be measured after an hour of full load



    EniGmA's insights:
    BSOD code of 0x00000124 = need more vcore
    BSOD code of 0x00000101(I think?) = need more VCCIO voltage
    BSOD code 0x00000109 = need more memory voltage
    DRAM voltage = never above 1.61 volts

    any other BSOD error codes related to overclocking are really uncommon. If you hit other errors before a 124 or 101 then something is really wrong.
