hmmm imageshack fail i guess its a pic of CPU-Z core voltage 1.328V core speed 5000.1mhz multi 50 bus speed 100
yeah he sent me another picture with his OC gtx 580 also ... and another pic of the core voltage at 1.344
this one is not the girl running it its actually a customer of mine that builds new rigs every 6 months and tries to get becnhmarks on 3dsmark haha I have no idea let me read his texts
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!!!
oh come on guys dont make me do it ... peer pressure peer pressure ... i wonder how long i could hold the 5ghz for on prime 95 ... ill turn my tri cool fans on high instead of med for sure haha
BTW i have not overclocked in years so im getting back into things ... if i could find some settings for a 5ghz OC i might do it
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.
