My SB hit a hard wall at 5300 Mhz, it would run at 5300 with 1.48 Cpu v on air without an issue on every benchmark. Though, it wouldn't make it into windows any higher, it didn't matter how cold I got it, I tried in on my benching loop with -10c water temps last winter. It also didn't matter how much voltage I added or what combination of Multi and BCLK I used, it wouldn't go over 5300 Mhz.
I might be able to run in this cold weather if I get home at a reasonable time. Got to take advantage of the cold (40's) degree weather
It better not get much colder,I don't even own a sweater lol.

Giv'er some good old BCLK Johan
103 is safe, and should get ya 5.6 Ghz if it's stable
That's curious. The half dozen SB's I had all performed the way I mentioned. Perhaps that was just it for the chip in general. But I could hit my multi wall and push through it with a bit of BCLK.
Sucks Johan I guess that it still holds true that low leakage chips aren't as good on sub ambient as high leakage ones. I bet you which the Lil Piggy was still alive because that was a dirty one.
ED I really had high hopes for my 2500k, before I learned they had a hard wall or max mutli. I learned it the hard way unfortunately by doind this---->
. I figured it would be a good chip since I could run 5.3 on Air and it would do it without a hitch, it never blue screened, crashed nothing it was like I was benching at my 24/7 stable overclocks. When I tried to go higher it would either not post or blue screen, I just figured it wasn't cold enough, when I put it on my benching loop I learned about the hard wall. It sometimes will get past post at 52*102 but never makes it through windows without blue screening or freezing. Even when I try booting it at 51*102 it will get into windows but as soon as I set it to 52 it crashes. I've run it as high as 106 on the BLCK so I know the BCLK can be changed it just wont do 5.3 + which makes me sad.
Yeah above 53 on the multi it wouldn't do a thing, it was only when I set the multi at 52 and the BCLK where it would at least get to windows "sometimes" but would never make it through. At 51*102 I could get into windows but it would crash as soon as I set it to 52 within windows using the Asrock tuning program. It's happily serving duties as my lil guys minecraft machine right now.
how jaded we have become 6476 Mhz<---not up for benching LOL
on Air?!?!?
Well of course on air !!on Air?!?!?
I don't know how strong it is though, damn things needs a whole heaping of Cpu Nb V to run anything over 1866 on the ram at my 4.7 daily Oc.
