i7 2600K @ 5Ghz!
I’m posting this here instead of the sticky ‘Post Your Overclock’ cause I did not run Prime due to the temperatures I was reaching. So I feel this is not a legit OC. But I did run a stable 30min stress test in AIDA64. Being unfamiliar with Intel, reaching 91+ Celsius scared me enough to back out. However with a better cooler I’m confident that this machine can reach 5GHz+. Apart from setting the DRAM frequencies, everything was done within Asus AI Suite 2 that came bundled with the motherboard.
Previous I could not get past 4.73GHz without BSOD but that was with tweaking the BCLK and multiplier together. Keeping the BCLK to default 100MHz I was able to set the multiplier to 48 no problem on default voltages and run stable with high but respectable temps. Increasing the multiplier any more I could boot into Windows but would BSOD under stress with default voltages.
Tweaking the voltages I was able to set the multiplier to 50 and run what I feel is stable but a HOT 5GHz! Here’s my settings based on a Asus P8P67 Deluxe board.
BCLK = 100MHz
Multiplier = 50X
DRAM was set to 1600MHz @ 1.6V
VCore set 1.37V but throttled up to 1.53V
DIGI+ VRM:
Load Line Calibration = Ultra High
CPU Current Capability = Auto
VRM Frequency = 380Khz
Phase Control = Extreme
Duty Control = Extreme
I’m in the market for a new cooler (advice would be appreciated) so stay tuned!
