4.8Ghz HT ON stable at 1.435v
it is still possible on air. Might get better by reducing the CPU PLL

(I will raise my ram to 2133Mhz later..)

owikh thanks...
the temp look so nice even on 4.7ghz...HT on summore...
eh...why u no try evga mobo 1st instead of gigabyte??

Still no ETA for EVGA, it is in my buying list as well.
Yeah quite happy with the 32nm SB, dun think u can do 4.6Ghz HT ON with Bloomfield

ah crap !
this new sandy bridge really suck man !
y intel do this to us ?!!

@owikh84

wat voltage should i bump for 3.8-4.0ghz ?

and what should i alter for 106/107 bclk ?

i tried to simply add up the vCore and the PC wont boot at 38x multiplier .

erm... duno wat or who sucks. Could be ur fren sucked by SB
not sure abt ur 2400 but slightly more than 1.25v, dun do anything on VTT let it auto or 1.2v
there's a BCLK settings in BIOS, it is there. Advise to let it be default 100 until u manage to hit 38x multi successfully.

First board Asus P8P67 Pro tested with NDA lifted on retail I7 2600K. Been spending few hours in playing this board and chip.

Specifications of board,
- Support up to DDR3 2200
- 2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (single at x16 or dual at x8/x8 mode)
- 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 * [Black] (max. at x4 mode, compatible with PCIe x1 and x4 devices)
- 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1
- 2 x PCI
- Support CrossX and SLI Technology
- Intel® P67 Express Chipset
2 xSATA 6.0 Gb/s ports (gray)
4 xSATA 3.0 Gb/s ports (blue)
Intel® Rapid Storage Technology Support RAID 0,1,5,10
- Marvell® 9120 controller
2 xSATA 6.0 Gb/s ports (navy blue)*
- JMicron® JMB362 SATA controller
2 xExternal SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports*

Some picture to share:

The front side of motherboard and chip,


The back of motherboard,


Layout of board,


EPU Switch - no test on this switch as I dun have many fans, monitors and hard drive on my test rig,
DRAM LED - Mainly checking on ram, if the red light stay on which mean the memory are giving issue


TPU Switch, for lazy people who want to OC with ease, just enable this switch before power up and after power on, the board will do the OC job,


CLRTC Jumper,


I/O


Test system,
Motherboard : Asus P8P67 Pro
CPU : Intel I7 2600K
Memory : GSKILL FLARE PC3 16000
PSU: Corsair HX950W
OS: Window 7 64 bit

First the result on stock speed,






Overclocking result with TPU Switch Enabled,






Highest acheived 5.25Ghz. Been spending 2 hours for my memory and get none. Memory giving a lot of issues and need some better memory dedicated to Sandy Bridge. Max achived at bclk 103 but the system is not stable at all. No post and have to lower down the bclk to 100 and CPU Turbo to crank up again. No extreme overvolt is available and max voltage capped at 1.53V. Only bclk can bring the clock speed up a little more (Test next time when I have the SB memory)






Last, voltage scaling for my chip during the benching,
1.2V at 4.5Ghz
1.25 at 4.6Ghz
1.3V at 4.8Ghz
1.365V at 5Ghz
1.51V at 5.25Ghz

Tired need to sleep... fainting soon..

Bro Owikh, where do u get that M4E? I'm interested also

I thought it has arrived LYP. no?
I got it from CEX said to be last stock.

@monsh

u should read this article

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cpus/2011...core-i5-2500k/2

Nice article I've included this link to #1 post. TQ!

oh you did? sorry about that... Guess I also haven't been paying attention

TS means, he edited the first post to "include" ur find

i7 2600K @ 4.9GHz HT ON (4C/8T), 1.476v load (LLC on)
WC: EK Supreme HF Ac+Ni + MCP655V EK-TOP + EK 250 X2 Adv + TFC480+360 + 2x EK FC480 Ac+Ni + 14x Scythe GTs
Gigabyte GA P67A UD7, F6X
Corsair DomGT 2000C7 @ 1866MHz 7-7-7-20-1T
Intel X25-M 160GB
2x GTX580SLI @ 900/4100MHz
Corsair AX1200

LinX, SPI 1M, 32M:


Cinebench:


3DMark PhysX:

Very Nice!

No result for M4E?

sigh.... thanks jinster. sorry again, i just woke up when i posted that

Unfortunately that would be next week.
The LinX test above showed that it is impossible to be done on air cooling (non-aircond)
So 5GHz on air (not water) wont happen in Malaysia. Unless in aircond or highlands.

why don't u try turning off HT. u might get better Gflops

ok will give it a reading .
thanks dude .

bro,i tink u can combine with bro owikh84 thread since this board is sandy bridge category

All o/c is on air cool and room temp is?
