Core i5 Overclocking and Feedback

[Fitseries3]

1.425v vcore
1.35v vtt
1.26 - 1.28v pch

1.72v dram

thats how im getting all the above screenshots to boot.

nothing of 4.2ghz has been able to bench vantage though.

 

[johnnyfiive]

yeah, the pch at 1.20+ is definitely helping ya, I havent gone above 1.15v cause I actually forgot about it, haha. I'll play with it tonight. And yeah, 4.22 was the highest ive been able to bench, same as you.

Over in the i7 thread I posted a two part question and I'd like to repost it here and get a more diverse pool of info. Thanks to fitseries3 for his initial response: What are the temperatures like with the i5s (idle/load : OC idle/load), and if any of you have a Kill-A-Wat would you be willing to share your power draw (idle/load : OC idle/load) with a list of the system specs?

Will do Binge, I have a Killawat meter. Idle temps for me at 1.38v, 4,066Ghz is around 32-34c. FULL LOAD during linpack is around 73-74c on the hottest core, lowest temp is around 71c, ambient temp is around 26C according to my handy multi-function clock, so thats 78.8F, almost 79F. I will get you some wattage numbers later on tonight, after I watch my daily dose of Green Wing.

Samsung

Is anyone running a triple channel kit with those chips?

 

[Fitseries3]

samsung chips are on about 35% of the ram that you can buy today.

 

[Fitseries3]

you may not need as much vcore as you think

try lower vcore and higher vtt.

 

[Athlon2K15]

what the max safe vtt you would use?

 

[Fitseries3]

1.6 for benching is fine.

1.52 for 24/7 most likely

my cpu is idling 31c on air at this bclk.

im currently at 1.36v vcore, 1.44v vtt, 1.27v pch

Freaaaking awesome Those numbers actually line up with a similarly specced i7 system my father recently put together.

 

[Fitseries3]

solved all my problems with a bios update...

superPI works now as well as vantage and 06 in win 7 x64

 

[paulo7]

Should have my cpu this wknd cant decide between using windows 7 or vista :-S

 

[mastrdrver]

Don't step back to Vista. Make the right choice and run W7. I just reformatted myself and moved from Vista to 7. It was a good thing.

 

[Fitseries3]

i ran vista yesterday for a bit and its SLOW compared to 7

 

[johnnyfiive]

I'd definitely go with Win 7. I'm using Vista on the i5 rig for review reasons.

Did you purchase Everest Ultimate edition?

 

[Fitseries3]

why you ask?

 

[lemode]

why you ask?

i was planning on getting it...wanted to know the about maintenance how long you’ve had it etc.

 

[paulo7]

hows windows7 for programme compatibility? Jus wondering if ill run into many things not working :-S is the trial version still available for DL? Cant wait for my new processor hopefully it will be a big step up from my e5200 might stick in another 4870 too

 

[johnnyfiive]

Its gonna make the E5200 feel very slow, haha. Your gonna love it paulo! As for program compatibility, I haven't had any issues with apps that work in Vista, NOT working in Windows 7.

[mrsemi]

Erm.

I own a 750...

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

[Binge]

The 750 is a CPU. Not a chipset.
