Nice job Wishmaster, The above link is my older post in this Thread. I would think the i-2700's should be able to meet and beat the i-2600's

WOW!
Looks like you have a very good 2600. From what Ive read, not all them can do 5.0+ at all.
I did go back, and start looking for lowest voltages though, to see what I could by with for a 24/7 OC.
And while I have not run a proper 10hr+ Prime run, I did run a 5 pass Maximum stress IBT run.
4.4 Ghz stable at 1.23v
4.5 Ghz stable at 1.26v
from there...
4.6 Ghz jumps up to 1.3v
vcore needed start increasing rapidly from here ...
4.8 around 1.36-1.37ish was my last stable run
I was playing a bit with LinX at 3AM....
So someting is not good here, the MB Temp... In Speccy it shows extremlly high tems(~65C) and in Speedfan/Aida is much lower...
So what temps are true. 60+ C is not good for the mobo.
That was quick tests(1st around 2/3min, and 2nd 5min). What do you think about the temps ? As I can see, CPU temp is also very high, about 60C.
Yea, Linpack is vicious!!!
CPU temp under linpack load at 60C is good. In fact 70C and below is fine & to be expected for LinPack with a OC'd CPU.
just keep in mind, nothing in any real world heavy load will ever push the CPU that hard. Prime doesnt really push one that hard either.
-- But that MOBO temp Speccy reports ...
Im conviced its reporting the the CPU temp.
It may also be that particular temp is the Motherboards CPU socket sensor. Not neccesarilly the CPUs core temps.
I noticed on mine, evga eleet was showing each CPU core temp individually, and then the package CPU temp --
Which matches Speccy and my Motherboard CPU TEMP readout LED.
As you can see here, during Linpack the CPU Temp on the left is what speccy says is Motherboard for mine.
But that changes and always matches. As does the Package temps below each Core temp.
So thats what it has to be I think.

Linpack is based on IBT, (same libraries) so they're pretty equal in regards to heat and punishment compared to P95
My speccy mobo has not budged off 60c regardless of ambient/load etc Buggered if I know what it's reporting; if anything
Yeah It's a good chip! I was just playing with settings when I tried to boot at 5.2-5.5ghz, glad it booted at all of them I never even went back to try for stable because I dont need it or want it running that hard....but I also never tried for anything between 4.6-5.1ghz, I just put it at the 24/7 clock I liked (4.5ghz@1.23v).
Here are the 24/7 clock Prime95 and IBT pics.
Same old 4.6ghz now using -.030 offset and culling more AUTO voltage settings. So far it's netted me a nice 10c drop across the cores during testing. A nice 'summer overclock' if you will...
There's no doubt in my mind I could sail past 4.6; but I'm having more 'fun' lowering voltages rather than going for max clock speed.
For now any way
