More Wolfdale stories: 4.6Ghz on STOCK AIR

Sasqui · Oct 28, 2009

To add to the stories... it's doing well considering it's a stock heatsink and fan. Running prime continuously at 4.4. Starts to fail above that, but after a few hours. Haven't gone above the 1.272v mark. Loosened memory timings.

I'm going to hold off on more volts till this is under H2O in my other case.

If you can't get that to 5 ghz under good cooling I'll be sad.

Heh... I don't expect that, but I'll be sad too!!!

I'm writing this at 4.6Ghz! Seriously! :roll:

What temps you get under load? They've gotta be close to scorching.

Sasqui · Oct 28, 2009

Let me run prime right now... BRB

Sasqui · Oct 28, 2009

Ok... kinda bumpy, I'm back at 4.5Ghz LOL. Never gets over 63c, I'm using Real Temp.

Nice work, what board? How does it feel about 500 FSB?

Me thinks I'll do that next, bump the chip multiplier down to 9 and see what this thing can do.

This is Fitseries3 old ASUS Maximus Formula with Rampage BIOS. A few puzzling quirks in it, but I'm impressed.

amazing!! Looking forward to some results under water

Way better than expected... I need to re-check the box, but the shipping note had Q822A430 in it.

Any sub-forums for the ASUS Maximus/Rampage series? I got questions.

Wow, I'm tired today, up till 1am messing with it :cool:

That's a very mild case of OCD my friend

Just start a thread in the Mobo area. I'm sure fit and others will teach you more than you ever wanted to know about that board. :laugh:
