The Official Sandy Bridge-E Overclocking thread

Post all your Sandy Bridge-E overclocking hints and tips, questions, problems, adventures and discussion here!

As SB-E hasn't been released yet, here's a couple of TPU news articles to look at in the meantime:

System Specs

9-10-11-28 2133 MHz @ 1.65v is on the stickers.

XMP on 1155 sets 9-10-9-27 @ 1866MHz, 1.5v. Works just fine with all 4 sticks and default CPU voltages(1.05v on IMC). My kit may not reflect retail specs and such. Not sure if anyone else has these yet.

I'll have 2011 numbers as time permits. Not sure on when the platform launches, maybe January, I dunno, but we did get a lot of board annoucements today, so perhaps sooner? I am not sure... I'll do a proper review in the coming months when I get the rest of the parts...jsut be aware that G.Skill has a specialized line for SKT2011, as you can see.

@cadaveca

So are you saying that you actually have an SB-E system in for testing? If so, I'm soooo jealous! qubit wears his best green-with-envy face

Can you give us any model numbers or anything?

No, I do not have CPUs or boards...yet. Some boards will be no problem to get(obviously), but like with SKT1155, I do expect to not have a CPU until after launch, and I'll have to buy my own like I did with 1155, and still have to do with AM3+. I had 1155 boards at least a month before that launch, and hope to get a CPU direct from Intel, but that's just a hope at this point. I'll need an unlocked chip, and that's not going to come very cheaply is I have to buy my own.


However, I do expect to have board reviews either at launch, or shortly after. I am working towards making that a possibility, including updating my benchmarks; the ram is but one small part.

I mean, after all, it's just ram, and the only thing really special about it is the binning of 4 stock together, and SPD/XMP profile for X79, as there are only so many memory IC's available on the market today. There's nothing really "fancy" under the hood, that i can tell so far.

Sure do. Would rather wait and see what retailers do though. FX-8150 ain't no $245.

Is it relevant that the date on the 3DMark score is 2005? Not trolling, curious as to why the date would be so wrong, seeing as other indicators such as forceware drivers indicate date proximity.

Newly cleared BIOS, time not set?

I figured it's not a big issue.

Would a cleared bios reset to the board's manufacture date? In which case it needs to be a socket 2011 board which surely wouldn't be from 2005 (it'd be a UEFI bios surely as well.)

Meh, I'll wait for concrete reviews. I've set money aside for IB but I'm being swayed toward SB-E again.... It's been a while since I've been so eager on a tech review.

It depends. Some reset to the earliest available, while others reset to the date the BIOS was made.

I cannot comment to performance...I do not have a CPU yet.

My Crosshair III Formula from 2009 defaults to 2002 when the BIOS is cleared.

I don't either and the suspense is killing me.

I googled for SB-E overclocking, but there's no prerelease goodies out there just yet.

EDIT

Tell a lie, here's some prices:

2500 MHz, 4 sticks, and cas 7? Impressive. I could finally let my sector 5s stretch their legs... it's just too bad it doesn't do squat outside of benchmarks.

Subbed, I'm looking forward to upgrading to SB-E as I skipped 1155 for obvious reasons
My old Rampage 2 Extreme is still rocking but it's time for the Rampage 4 to take the throne in my case!

Price seems reasonable compared to what was being asked for on the Chinese market

Checked with a local computer hardware store. They said they would have this stuff in stock next week!

But they didn't want to confirm price ranges
