Did you read my post in the other thread?
I am very curious to see a CPUZ screenshot after 10 passes of LINX with coretemp etc. These are some very very impressive numbers and I would love to see some screenshots to help me decide on my purchase.

i missed that one sorry, here is cpu-z

as for the linx Ill have to do that later on I am just on my way out the door. cheers.
Water cool it?
Seriously though, man nice build. You've done good to get it that high, I wish I could help more
I may have to
good luck!

Benched Wprime at 5.0GHz today but I'm not planning on running mine at 5GHz. I'll probably settle on 4.5/4.6 for daily use.
Damn bro.. Thats not bad voltage at all for 5Ghz
Whats the general consensus on memory? Do i need to sell my Dominators and pick up some 1.5v memory?

So what would you guys using the 2600k say so far? Do you think that 5.0 GHz on an air cooled machine is do-able for a 24/7 on gaming machine? Or is it too finicky at this speed? What would you think would be a good 24/7 speed on your experience clocking so far? I had a feeling the average retail 2600k wouldnt be able to manage 5.0 Ghz on air cooling for more than a bench or 2. Please someone prove me wrong!
Thanks for the hard work fellas!

Screenshot doesn't show 5ghz, unless I really need new glasses....

There are new bios' that add a pll fix that lets many Sandy Bridge pass multi walls like 49.

I'm at 4.6Ghz and it's so much sweeter then my 760 at 4.2ghz could ever be.
Ugh.. Another bios for the IV.. Hmmmmm

I would try taking out some ram and seeing if that helps any. 8gb on 1156 would be a bit much. Not sure if it still applies to 1155, but I would try it with 4gb and up the voltage to a touch over 1.5 if you are comfortable with that. Seems most people had slightly higher voltage that 1.45 to get over 5ghz..
But how much voltage you apply is up to you. Some people may not want to give that to their brand new stuff..

I'm still using my Bloomfield/Nehalem kits from my Bloomfield rigs... I haven't decided if I'm going to part them out yet. I'm not sure if SB likes my "Hyper" ic sticks.
Still to early to say but if my chip could run (5.0Ghz) for a couple of hours with Prime and do 20 run LinX stable at 1.40v/1.4125v/1.425v load I would probably back off my o.c. to 1.325v to 1.35v and run what ever the chip could do at that voltage for daily use... 4.5/4.6/4.7/4.8. If it ends up looking like these chips are strong enough to handle 1.375v long term then I might even consider going a little higher as long as my temps remained decent.

not sure which setting I changed, but I managed to get 5.1Ghz got it to 5.2, however I am having heat issues. need to move to WC i guess. not today thought haha
maybe in 2 weeks or so. I am now very happy with this chip. clocked her down to 4.4 so things dont get out of hand

Absolutely. I would even say 4.6 is safe for 24/7. its not really running at whatever speed you have it set to 24/7 anyways right.. when its ideling its 1.6Ghz.
unless you are folding or crunching, or something along those lines, I would say stay under 4.7Ghz with air cooling.
thank you
