lol... mine 4.5ghz already get me 1.35v to stable. lousy chip.

and also come with a lousy temp sensor which make 1 core 10c higher than others no matter how i remount my coolings

made in malaysia chip

v r on the same boat , my chip takes 1.395v to 4.8GHz.

@FiragaZ
thanks bro...
yeah the temp quite nice...but i think my system need to be stressed on W7 SP1,if pass than can consider legit...hehe


@lichyetan
10c diff bro??
why dont u try RMA ur proc??that proc can consider faulty right??
i also dont understand abt the quality of intel's proc from MY...
izit that bad??hmmm...

Mine is the same too, approximately 6-9C easily Costa Rica 2500K. Actually I don't mind because during normal usage (gaming, work, etc), the temps are still very good with my WC.

guys, can i oc an i7 2600k at 4.5gHz and use it at idle 4.5ghz everytime i open my computer? like daily use or whenever i open computer it's idle at 4.5ghz? is it harmful?

no harmful la bro, my sandy running non stop 24/7 a week

my chip get stable at 1.335 at 4.5ghz . When I try 4.6ghz at 1.36 , the dr.debug show code 70 and pc cant boot up , I've checked the manual book , it means South Bridge EXE initialization is started. What should I do ?

already try clear CMOS?

clear CMOS enable me to boot up , but I want to understand the code 70 means what . FYI I increase to 1.38 also wont boot at 4.6ghz

lol, the 7 number already stand for a week
btw, are u running nonstop oc 24/7 and how speed(GHZ) it is ? what heatsink do u use?

hv u tried enabling Internal PLL Overvolting in BIOS?
assume that u hv a dud chip.

or maybe u can try update new bios to fix the bug/problem??

hello all...what the safest bios for m4e right now...still using 1204 bios and never experience on bios update...thanks...

Yes .


Do we get a replacement for dud chips ?


I've already flash the lastest BIOS version1.40
http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Mode...Extreme4&o=BIOS

is it possible to run i7 2600k at 4.5ghz and 1.4V for daily usage (24/7)? everytime I start up my windows, the speed load at 4.5ghz~

@linkinawe
DRAM voltage seems quite low to me...try set auto 1st and enable spread spectrum

@DesktopLimousine
u should read more about EIST...
with proper cooling u can run 24/7 @ 4.5Ghz speed or even 5Ghz like owikh and others did...

link plz?

I set at 1.5v because I followed the exact voltage stated on ram sticker , and I didnt OC ram.

1. Nope, you can't replace a dud chip.

2. Try increasing the power limit to "350"

3. Try increasing the Vcore further, perhaps 1.4V-1.45V to test out

can tell me best software to overclock i7 2600k? to determine temp? and detect voltage?
