15th Warlock · Jan 17, 2011

Please read first post!!!!

Please refer to my first post in this thread for updated results at 5Ghz and more benchies!

I want to see what sort of memory performance this rig can do, like 2K speeds at least, but I want like 2600-2800mhz speeds to start showing up on these boards

how can you reach such speeds with your RAM? Mine's rated at 2000Mhz, but I haven't pushed beyond 1866Mhz as I don't want to push its voltage too far, can you please tell me how to do this without burning your RAM? These SB mobos are supposed to use 1.5V RAM and mine's rated at 1.65V but runs stable at 1866Mhz and a little over 1.55V. Any advice will be greatly appreciated

is the rig 100% complate?? did you post completed pics?

It's at 5Ghz, but at 1.45V the temps were too high for 24/7 IMHO; there's new pics if you check my first post

At 5.1~5.2Ghz I started getting system crashes, signaling that I probably needed to push voltage over 1.45V, but this BIOS is beta, and had to flash my BIOS a few times, during the trial and error phase, I grew tired of it and said: f$&k it, 5Ghz was my original goal and I'm more than happy with my results; I'll probably try again once Gigabyte releases a final BIOS with the PLL Overvoltage option enabled. For now, I'm happy at 4.5Ghz for 24/7 operation

I am contemplating a Sandybridge build over the next few days. Just curious, why u went with UD7 MOBO vs the UD5 for much less $$?

I wanted 2 PCIe slots at 16x for SLI for when I get my second GTX580, the UD7 had the N200 for dual or triple SLI and Crossfire

Thats one mean overclock on air! :toast:

Solaris17 · Jan 17, 2011

I decided to buy this same combo...then I saw this thread. I dont like copying...but I think im going to have too. This system build looks like it rocks. I can live with having the same rig as someone else for a little bit.

It does look like sandy bridge varies alot though. This one review got 4.5ghz with the same chip and board with .20v less than you. MMV alot.

Not to take anything away from Warlock, its not just a simple air cooler. The H70 is one nifty component!
I think his 'secret sauce' might be the hidden formula.

Yup, but it is still air with a bit of water added for good measure

hat · Jan 17, 2011

Damn 5GHz

What voltage exactly did you use for that internal PLL voltage? What is stock?

How about vcore... what did you use for 4.5GHz, and what's stock?

Sorry i went way off topic in your thread Warlock. Carry on guys! TPU is awesome!

NP mate

Check the first post in this thread for updated benchies

Tatty_One said:

LOL! Yeah, you could say the H70 would be the bastard son born out of night of kinky sex between a custom water loop and a high end air cooler.

BTW, I was wondering if you (or any other mod who's reading this for that matter

) could help me edit the title to this thread, I tried changing the title on my first post thinking that would help, but that didn't change the thread's main title. Can you help me with that please

I'm honored :respect:

Yes, I've seen SB procs doing 4.4Ghz as low as 1.20V. Haven't played with under volting my proc yet, for now the mobo is engaging the auto VID, will try seeing how low I can go without any stability problems when I get back home, thank you for the idea

LOL! Yeah, the Coolaboratory Liquid Ultra more than held its ground during heavy over volting, and no need for setting time either

I would recommend this TIM to anyone

hat said:

How about vcore... what did you use for 4.5GHz, and what's stock?

Thanks!

And I'm just an average OCer, imagine what an experienced OCer like you would get from this proc! I can't wait til some of you, extreme OCers get your hands on these procs and post your own results! :respect:

I tried raising the PLL voltage to 1.89V at 4.8Ghz but the system was very unstable, that was before BIOS ver. F7b was released. With that BIOS all you need to do is enable PLL overvoltage in the settings, and as far as I understand, your mobo will dynamically handle the PLL overvoltage depending on processor load, giving you a far more stable OC.

Vcore voltages I used were:

@3.4Ghz (stock): 1.236V
@4.5Ghz: 1.33V
@5Ghz: 1.425V
@5.2Ghz: 1.455V

Hope that helps

you should disable core parking - i hear it may make things a bit smoother in gaming... might make a difference in benchies too. Worth a look.

great job on this rig... gaming bliss right there

Heh, no way... first day on the job today taught me that the dollar is worth much more than I thought it was. Since I'm working part time, and have other things to pay for, it would take between 2 and 3 months to pay for the upgrade to a 2600K system (around $550). Worth it? Hell no.

Atlblkz06 · Jan 18, 2011

Hello!

I just bought a 580, 2600K and an MSI P67A mobo with 6GB of Triple Channel OCZ memory. I'm really looking forward to this rig now! right now I'm running an old school Q6600 (wow its old already?) with a Swiftech 220 Kit and eventually I'll watercool this too but for now it'll run on air.

Thanks for your post! I should have it running by Sunday and I cant wait.

So... what constitutes safe voltages for a 24/7 OC on the 2600k? Surely 1.425v can't be safe for the long run. :confused:

Still a sweet system and that OC is insane. According to Intel 5Ghz is the new 4Ghz so I guess the elite will have to start the 6Ghz club to remain elite.

Wrigleyvillain · Jan 18, 2011

^ Yep

hat · Jan 18, 2011

I don't think SB, at least in the current iteration, will make 6GHz. Maybe with extreme cooling, but with the voltage required to get there, the cpu might not be able to survive long enough. 32nm is quite fragile.

LAN_deRf_HA · Jan 18, 2011

Huh? Many consider 1.4v completely safe. SB has proven to be quite durable so far. If it takes 1.425 for 5 GHz then I'd use that 24/7, even more so with speed step.

JrRacinFan · Jan 18, 2011

Wait a moment, what happenned to the claim of 5GHz with 1.0v?

LAN_deRf_HA · Jan 18, 2011

I think that was voltage monitoring bug with Gigabyte boards.

15th Warlock · Jan 20, 2011

Hello everybody, I'm sorry I have not replied in a while, but I've been really busy at work these past few days, once again, thank you so much for your replies to this post

I had never heard about core parking before, will definitely look into it, thanks for the heads up! :toast:

Thanks for the links mate!

They were both very informative, will try to disable this core parking thing in Win7, and will let you know how it went; in some benchmarks or programs, I never see my processor load go over 60~80%, I wonder, if this has anything to do with it :confused:

You're welcome mate, looks like your getting a killer setup there! :rockout:

Please give us an update once you have it ready

Well, I recently started experimenting with a little undervolting, (Thanks to Solaris for the awesome idea! You're the man! :toast:

) and my system is a 100% stable at 4.5Ghz and less than 1.30V, temperatures are really good too, so I don't think I have to worry about using this overclock 24/7 :rockout:
