Is this 2500k overclock acceptable for 24/7?

mrw1986 · Feb 9, 2012

Another update: Just TeamView'd into my home PC and it's been well over an hour now and it's still blending perfectly fine with 4.8ghz @ 1.38v

I'm definitely going to toy with it more and get it stable at 5ghz w/ 1.4v. Temps haven't gone over 51C yet on any core.

Edit: If I can't get it stable at 5ghz 1.4v then I'm just going to stick with my 4.8ghz OC. I feel like that is more than enough. I just like a nice rounded up number like 5ghz, that's all

Now of course you know we expect ya to keep us updated on how the rig is over time, and whether you experience any issues...

Hey mrw1986 I don't wanna be called a noob so I just OC my 2600k to 6ghz @ 10.38v. Am I 1337 now?

All joking aside what are your clocks on your 570? I have the same one.....but nicer.

You bet! I would run 11v though, it's more stable that way.

I run a pretty modest OC on my 570. 850@1100mv core and 3800 mem (haven't OC'd that yet).

Edit: I pushed 900 core, but I didn't see a huge difference from 850 so I clocked it back down for stability.

Stock volts? Also what program did you use and what gains did you have?

I'm using the latest beta of Asus GPU Tweak. I just upped my memory to 4000 and its testing fine in furmark.

I saw like a 3-5fps gain in BF3 @ 1080p all settings ultra...so roughly 10%

Bah I was hoping for like 10+fps with a good OC. Sucks 100mhz only brings like 5 frames.

I agree, but sometimes those are the 5 you need to make it playable

Yeah. Put it on 11!

So is there any comprehensive guide to overclocking 2500k/2600k? I overclocked mine a while ago and just left it but the volts are a little high, and I'm wondering if I could mess with the 'C3', 'C1E', 'Vdroop' and whatever else to make it more effiecient. Mine needs 1.408V to get 4.7ghz. :cry:

And unlike some guys, every little 100mhz or whatever overclock is very appreciated to me, coz I do audio recording, and without going into it, that shit needs A LOT of cpu power to run the way I want it to.

Any suggestions?

OneMoar · Feb 10, 2012

1.5v LOLNO ....
keep the voltage under 1.4 .... unless you enjoy melted hardware .....
-unless you can afford to replace a proc every other year ..

Thanks but that is not comprehensive at all. I'd call that brief.

Good luck finding another.

If youre savvy enough to make it work then that guide is fine. I used the same guide myself to get 4.9Ghz.

Yeah, my overlclock works, I just think I might be missing something coz I need alot more volts than everyone else seems to. I'm just looking for a comprehensive guide to verify I'm doing/not doing something wrong.

mrw1986 · Feb 11, 2012

Been running 4.8ghz @ 1.38v perfectly steady

decided to stick with offset voltage to take advantage of power saving features.

I know the feeling about the 5ghz mark. I gave up trying to get there when even 1.4v wouldnt get me there. I can run 4.8 all day with 1.32v so I decided that would have to do. Cant complain since my my setup has been really good to me.
