ur GFlops is a bit lower than average.
do u mind to try priority in LinX setting to "above normal"
clear up some ram to at least 3000MB for LinX, close all the background apps.

4.6 2133MHz


4.6 1333MHz


2500K should be producing the same GFlops, unless CPU throttling.

This is bad. Most chips can boot until 48x without cpu pll overvolt enabled. 5.0GHz at lower than 1.5v is no luck for me after 3 months hunting. Bad luck of mine.

Death is possible but hardly seen. Normally is due to condensation during LN2, improper power phase control on mobo taken together with cpu. Disabling cores at high voltage for long term also can kill cpu.

Degradation is more possible, due to long term torturing with high temp n voltage.

Pls dont kill em bro u can sell that 55x to me.
Sayang leh..

5.0GHz for daily usage. Temp is still acceptable for me.
But i hv to take bath everytime after finish gaming lol
5.3GHz for short tests. GTX580s also runing at stock for routine tasks.

so costa rica is not good enuf lah

Mix of good and bad CPUs, same thing applied to Costa Rica.
It is pure luck

P/S: the highest CPU-Z clock and LinX stable record is still held by L=Msia

muahhaha u got the word, let's sweep it down under the bridge of holy sandy.
ambient is hot craps in BW, 33C at night phiuhh ...

more ram options more playabilities

told ya it will happen to any m4e just after a reboot.
i believe same thing will happen to bios2 as well.
1st time i got less 1MHz BCLK 105 to 104 then getting worse failed to OC even at 101.
but last time flashing to newer bios fixed the problem. Falken suggested resiting cpu might fix this issue.

nice! btw UGPM!

i set mine at 1.68v, core temps drop a lil bit

try 2133 8-10-7-27 at 1.65v

Found THIS for ECO.

1.24-1.26v under load.

which type of BSOD?

BSOD code can only be seen in win.
try increase vcore to 1.3v, later when got into win slowly decrease vcore.
take note that LLC will either increase or decrease vcore during load depends on settings.
C states are related to power saving, noth to do with ur BSOD
full specs of PC would be helpful.

Intel stock cooler is best at 4.2GHz only at stock voltage.
eg. BSOD 124:

LLC depends on cpu/mobo reaction to voltage scaling. I always set to extreme for 5GHz+ due to my sucky 2600K.
more Asrock OC guides pls refer to THIS
Asus goes to THIS
H5O should be able to handle up to 4.7GHz, which is as good as VenomousX
Noctua NH-D14 for RM270?

thanks ah liang for the nice proc.
max out at 54x, freq wall 5455MHz on UD7
will use it for net surfing and NFS Shift2 only until Z68 come out.

yalor hardly seen Eco do 2133 on Sandy, same fate as Hypers - compatibility issues. u need to whack heck a lot of vdimm and VTT for these.
Go grab a new RAM lah i believe there are plenty of cheap compatible kits in the market.
as for VCCIO aka VTT, most of the time u wont need to adjust it at all @ 1.05v. U might need to increase it a lil bit when playing with higher RAM speed & tighten timings etc... Using over 1.2V should only be necessary if u're pushing the proc toward 5GHz +. Like one of my proc @ 5GHz needed at least 1.2v VTT to boot into windows. Using above 1.4v is not recommended at all - u have been warned!
Both LinX and Prime95 will stress the RAM, just that Prime tends to error out RAM settings. But u gotta Prime for at least 3 hours, some guys even did 6 hours+ For me, LinX for 1 hour is more than enuf as I wont be using this PC more than 4 hours.

For sure a a lot better than my previous chips, in terms of max multi, freq wall, voltage, etc.
But hvn't test on max BCLK yet maybe tonite will give it a try if got time.
Been busy with new liquid & gas chromatography at medicine research lab.

ur 2600K @ 4.7GHz at lower than 1.4v is considered as better than average chips but I guess it heats up faster than voltage sucking chip.
vCore is not linearly proportional to speed but more like exponentially.
A few MHz increment in frequency requires a few notches of vCore.
no choice u need more vcore and change to WC

oh no wonder lah u can buy stuffs from TW so easily. Rupa2 nya got sibling over there.
i believe Z68 will appear in local market next week and I'm going to grab one hehe...
