I don't understand my CPU...

[BarbaricSoul]

The point is to prove this isn't a 'hard brick wall'. The only "hard brick wall" with ambient cooling are temperatures... and, clearly, that isn't a hard brick wall. I mean I had to respond to such a myopic post (Barbaric's). I mean seriously.. LN2 IS the answer for 1.21 Gigawatts and 88 GHz... sorry, maybe LHe... . But Im sure now you get the point and know it was in response to Barbaric's silly post.

Ok 6700k/6950k owner, you say these new CPU's have no OC wall. Prove it. Let's see a screen shot of one of those new CPU's you have booted up at 5.5 ghz. If there is no wall, that shouldn't be a problem. Notice, I'm not asking for you to do any benchmarking or anything, so I don't care if your OC i stable. I just want to see one of them booted up at 5.5 ghz, then I'll believe you.

Well, the OP has a 5820k... below is a link to one (of a few) reviews which show me taking a 5820k well past this 'hard brick wall limit' of 4.5ghz to 4.75ghz all cores and stable enough to run several benchmarkz. This was on custom water. See pushing the limits section towards the bottom...

My 6700K...in all my reviews I brought it up to 4.7ghz and pushed to ~4.9 ghz in that same pushing the limits section...this is also with 200bclk.

Here's a link to a competition in which many were over 5 ghz. I was 5.25ghz. Granted, this is with 2 cores..but I was temperature limited again, ambient water cooling...

So, in sticking with what the discussion was original about, a "hard brick wall at 4.5ghz", it's pretty clear there isn't one that low with a 5820k. It is another factor which was all I was trying to say.

Now, to reach your unrelated request of 5.5ghz is going to require sub-ambient cooling. Here is a shot of a 6700k running 6.5ghz and successfully running cinebench...

Side note, the world record for a 6700k is over 7GHz and 6950X is 5.8ghz

Now...THERE is more of a 'hard wall'. Should I continue with more examples or are we good with proving the op doesn't have a hard wall (for the cpu) and your other unrelated request too?

I was like this, once you used sub cooling or custom you'll know there's isn't a wall to some extent... it's on temps and volts and settings and the better the cooling the higher the oc then you can feed it a lot of volts not good for daily use btw ....

He'll being back on the forums makes me want to oc again lol

Makes me want to dust off my single phase but the mofo is lil loud but I've ran it for many hours before damn but I have to work

But op what kind of temps are you getting?

Also are you ocing your ram at the same time or leaving it at stock or below stock?

Please point out to me where I said that there is a hard brick wall at 4.5ghz for all Intel Core CPUs.

What I said was-

While it may vary for each individual CPU, all CPU's have an absolute maximum OC, and you probable hit your CPUs max

 

[Mr.Scott]

You challenged him right here, and inferred that there was a wall and that you didn't believe him.

Ok 6700k/6950k owner, you say these new CPU's have no OC wall. Prove it. Let's see a screen shot of one of those new CPU's you have booted up at 5.5 ghz. If there is no wall, that shouldn't be a problem. Notice, I'm not asking for you to do any benchmarking or anything, so I don't care if your OC i stable. I just want to see one of them booted up at 5.5 ghz, then I'll believe you.

 

[EarthDog]

Lol...

You inferred earlier that he hit his brick wall limit...I never said you stated all intel cpus. We are talking the OP and the chips you mentioned...

I told you he hasnt, and proved it.. even your off topic request of other cpus clocked well above the 4.5 ghz in the OP.

I can't do much more than this. No hard brick wall at 4.5ghz on his chip barb. Sorry.

 

[BarbaricSoul]

You haven't proved anything. I haven't seen anything where the OP has been able to get his CPU pass 4.5 GHz and it be stable. I never claimed all i7 5820 CPUs had a hard wall at 4.5 GHz. I merely suggested that he probably has hit his CPU's OC limit, which has not been proven to be incorrect as of now.

...so hard to hit a constantly moving target...


Cool story BS..cool story.

So, my 5820K overclocks to 4.5 GHz at merely 1.1V which is just absolutely epic. Wouldn't do 4.6GHz even at 1.35 V with every possible settings configuration I could think of. Dafaq!? How does this make any kind of sense!?

Any idea what in particular could be causing this settings wise? Or is it just hard brick wall limit at 4.5GHz even if I feed it 5 volts?

I have experienced this sort of thing too, not with I7 5820K, but with some other CPU i had - even with 1.45V vcore and 2.1V PLL i was not able to add that additional 100 MHz on top of already moderate CPU overclock.
