Thanks Doug.

Yeah it is a lot of volts for 5GHz really Steve, I don't think the E series were designed for Extreme overclocking but that being said I imagine a 5.2 would be possible but I really don't feel like frying another CPU for the sake of a couple of 100 MHz lol.

My daily is 4.6GHz at around 1.25V, I am currently testing at 4.7GHz and so far it appears stable at 1.310V

Wise move for that E series....until you'll turn "Mentally Insane" again

I would imagine LN2 would be the next step

all the tweeking in the world can't get it beyond that on air without killing something

See Paul @ 1.9V.

I don't think I'm going to head down ether of those paths...

Can we start a melt your Sabertooth or burn up your i7 leaderboard ???

Here you go

Dude and AddRam, I apologize, but I do not plan on participating in this leaderboard. I sincerely hope that does no hurt either of your feelings, but it does not sound like a competition that interests me.

Oh My God Doug your hilarious

Come on Steve, as my daughter always says YOLO

You only live once ?

Yes that is what it means but YOLO only applies when something bigger is on the line lmao

I'm sure people scream this as well when jumping off a bridge with a Bungee cord until it snaps

@Doug you can count me out as well if i feel froggy with a old AMD set up that will not harm my pocket in anyway then you will see something lol

I may partially qualify though, but not from overclocking, and not a Sabertooth. I replaced my RMA'd MSI AMD board, connected the wiring, put the CPU, cooler and ram in. When I plugged in the PSU, the board started smoking. Yes, I'm sure it was installed properly and no, the front panel connectors were not even connected and I never even tried to start it. The wiring was right and the standoffs were right. I have no idea, except MSI sends previous RMA'd boards out for replacement, like most manufacturers, so I figure they sent me one they never fixed. Don't ask me how, but the CPU and Ram survived the session. The board now resides in the local Dump, as MSI refused to discuss it with me. They did the same on another board as well. But, at least it didn't fry, or bake or melt, whatever that one did.
