Paul, my voltage was 1.524 @ that overclock

Edit: I see you already got it handled.....thanks buddy

Yeah, no messin around here mate! Lol.

It's a good thread Paul......keeps us all in one place. Easier to keep track of us like that lol!

It's also a great opportunity to show people how it's done

The lot of us here are Guru's pretty much and that is pretty awesome

People will always look here first to see how effective one can overclock brand of CPU Genius my boy Genius @Paul

I have anti tracking on my browser, so there Paul.

Hi, Paul.

Yeah, my voltage and clock rate are both dynamic based on CPU load, so in a sense, the voltage that is validated is likely the correct measured voltage at the time, though it isn't as high as it would be under load.

The base Vcore I set the voltage to to get it to 4.9GHz was 1.445, but under load it will up it higher still, if it needs to. So basically, I don't have a set maximum nor minimum voltage to achieve the OC, and it is always in somewhat of a state of fluctuation based on what it needs for stability vs. power saving and heat reduction.

So that being said, "N/A" is probably fitting enough for my OC voltage level... LOL

For those of us using dynamic offsets and whatnot, perhaps you could just list the base voltage with an asterisk afterwards and have a note on the bottom (or similar) explaining that they're dynamic voltages and that the listed voltage is just the base Vcore setting (mine being 1.445)? Just a thought. Only problem being that they aren't "validated" voltage levels, and you'll have to rely on us to submit them.

Sorry if I'm complicating things for you.

Are you guys using manual CPU voltage with no offset?

I discovered something to day you may already know. In CPUz if you click the Intel logo a IE page opens with the OC records for the CPU you have. as recorded by them.

Nice find Gary, I never clicked it.

Wow, don't think I'll be making it on that list any time soon for my i7-3930K...

Top score listed there for it is 5950.7 MHz.

Liquid nitrogen cooling?

Well, after much tinkering the past few weeks, I've finally hit 5GHz. I used an Offset voltage of +.430 and even ran AIDA64 to see my maximum voltage. I tried it several times and got a voltage of 1.656 but the validation frequency was 4999.8 MHz, and I wasn't havin' that, so I ran it again. Surprisingly, I can hit 5GHz with a multiplier of 49+BCLK OC or straight 50 multiplier. It feels like there is a little more in the tank, but I'm done with it. I hit my goal and that's where I'm stopping.
