lol..jz realise after comparing screenshots...

thanks for the info...

Core i5 2500k @ 4.2ghz @ DDR3 1866 @ 6-10-6-24

CPU-Z clock speed different due to intel speedstep

what ram ur using?

PLL doesnt hurt my GFolps, turning off AI suite helps me in getting 84Glops on HT and 132GFlops HT off. Meanwhile i just need to enable internal PLL overvolt 51x onwards.

guys im running my CPU back to stock settings.

but when i run prime95 i cant reach 3.8ghz(turbo boost)

furthest i saw went up to 3.7ghz .

why's that ?

how to make it up to 3.8ghz ?

Have a few problems here with my sandy bridge system.

*Refer to attached img*

I am currently OCed to 4.2 GHz. I am pretty sure it is stable but I just did the torture test anyway, with the small fft in Prime95.

However I have a few concerns though
1. Why is Core 0 and 3 much lower than Core 1 and 2?
2. The max temperature is pretty high for 4.2GHz, those guys in OC.net can do 5 GHz at 65+'C. Ambient temperature is 21'C now.
3. Also how come the core voltage is so low? I set it at 1.325V in BIOS.

My Spec
i5 2500k
Gigabyte P67A UD3R
Ripjaw 4GB DDR3 1600MHz


Err? Shouldn't you turn off turbo boost and adjust the multiplier yourself in BIOS?
Prime95 won't do any OCing for you

Do u know how cold it is in uk ATM? They can have 0 ambient on air cooling....

eh would really like to see that 5ghz Ht off.

curious since ure ht on temp hit 81C

Is HT the same thing as Turbo boost?

yo bro . i OCed to 4ghz b4. but now i put it back to stock settings and its capable to go up to 3.8ghz with turbo on. but only can reach 3.7ghz.

haha.

yea i know that prime95 cant OC for me but it only reach 3.7ghz under full load. lol


ur voltage is low coz i think its to do with the LLC.

Actually was refering to LinX 4threads instead of 8.
Core2 max at 90C. Will upload both 84 and 132Gflops ss tomoro once get back to penang.
Saw an XS forumer hit 58x dice with my batch L042B243

yeah saw that.

damn sandy bridge is really poisoning. but waht can i do. just change to 1366 about a month ago.. kinda regret also..

mushkin ridgeback 1600 cl6 for x58. used the 2/3 sticks.

5.0GHz LinX 8 Threads @ 84GFlops


5.0GHz LinX 4 Threads @ 132GFlops

Oh ... so I have disable the vdroop hye? That'll help in my next testing

yea, i am too, fell so sad...SB so damn good.

Here is my result on 4.3Ghz @1.27v HT on

Temperature is at 68c-70c without air-con.

LLC is 50%

Dom GT testing 103.2x47 , 2200mhz 7-10-7-28 1n at 1.625v/1.607v/1.6135v(Set/Bios Read/Dmm Read)

The guys here post their numbers like it's a freaking holy grail for processor.

No it's not. These things comes with some issues with the SATA2 ports.

I'm not too sure of the full detail but apparently SB and it's P67 mobos generate too much errors on the SATA2 ports. This results in a shorter lifespan of your HDD and CDROM if you connect them to SATA2.

THe only solution for this? Connect them to SATA3, which is what I've done.

Intel is collecting all the motherboards back on April though.
