2500K first OC :)

I recently got a new computer (built it myself) and i overclocked my 2500K to 4.2 Ghz @ 1.210 vcore but in cpu-z it says 1.230 (not that thats bad) but i was wondering if i could push it to 4.5 - 4.7 ghz without going over 1.299 volts and without shortening the life of the cpu cause i want to sell it when IB comes

Push it to 1.4 if you need, since it's the red line. IB wont be such a big deal, especially as a replacement for your shiny 2500k.
 
I wouldn't go over 1.4 tho mate, I have my 2700k at 4.7 with 1.325 vcore

If you do go near to 1.4 make sure your temps are below 75c after priming for 3+ hours and you should have a stable 24/7 oc.
 
getting a great OC is rewarding for most people

my advice: stick to 4.2 for the summer. though, if full WC'd push a bit further

what are you trying to prove? that you can get an above average speed, or, that you can easily kill chips (money is no object)!!!
 
@Daxehh :You wouldn't really be able to get 4.5 + under 1.3v I wouldn't imagine as you'd of have to of gotten a bloody good chip. honestly I don't think its possible.

@Masteridler :He might want IB due to the activation of PCI-E 3.0 but yes other than that your 2500k is more than adequate.

@Briggsy :The least time I'd personally run Prime 95 would be 8 hours, then I'd call it 24/7 stable.

happy overclocking

This is my first post on this forum and i really do love the community u guys respond veru quick and give honest opinions i really appriciate it
smile.gif
as for the IB yes i have a pco 3.0 GPU thats why i'm getting it.

As for the 2500K i dont really want to go over 1.300 because i want to be able to say that this chip has alot of life left in it to the person i sell it to

And it are the volts that can damage chips not the clock speeds right?
 
a bear takin' a dump in the woods can hurt your chip. it is a crap shoot on failures in electronics.

yes, over-voltage tends to weaken parts, but there are peeps with no OC and still theirs takes

a giant dumpski (usually in the most inopportune time) so with that said, i run mine like i

stole it and back up frequently in different storage appliances. if some of the "magic" smoke

leaks out, wheel the laptop out and order more parts and apply for a RMA if possible.

these things happen to electronics and it will continue to, so blame the sheep fartin' in the

pasture. i do...

and purchases from other people that say that they never OC'd their video card, chip or board is

a lame crock, i never believe that in a second, especially if they pronounce that it had never

been OD'd.. rubbish, someone did so it is always buyer beware... 'cause there are a lot of sheep

eatin' grass, busting off toxic gasses.

What in the name of jezus are you talking about ........

I think what he's trying to say is "he likes animals bowel movements ?... hehe) Nah though I think what his getting at is the reason were all telling you 1.4v as the limit is cause its at that point onwards the chip is likely to reduce the lifespan to only 10 years, which is plenty enough time to have CPU my last one only lasted me 4 years before I decided I needed an upgrade.

That made me lol, literally.

P.S. I think they should call it overdosing a CPU rather than overclocking

@Daxehh - It will be the volts that kill the CPU from what I've read. If the clock speed is high and the volts are under 1.4 e.g. 4.5GHz at 1.25v, then you are fine, but if you have 4.5GHz @ over 1.4v then you will be degrading your CPU even if the temps are low. Again I am saying this from what I've read/heard from more experienced members.
 
@yassarikhan786 mmkai ill see if i can get it to 4.5 - 4.7 Ghz tomorrow staying under 1.330 volts , i do have a pretty golden chip though cause i've tried 5 Ghz for lolz and i only needed 1.375 volts O.o unfortunately that's not an option for a 24/7 OC since my temps go as high as 73 degrees, i just use that as a quick video render setting , takes only like 30 mins - 1 hour to do a video and that 73 degrees wont damage it in such a short period of time as far as i know... ill give u an update on how the 4.5 - 4.7 Ghz worked out tomorrow

Yeah guess im just a bit paranoid... I dont want to break it because i cant afford a new cpu, im hust gonna stay under 1.370 volts to feel safe and be 100% sure it wont mess up

ill be back with results after school (its 7:15 In the morning now)
 
both high voltage and high temps will hurt the cpu but 1.4v aint high and sandychips dont really run that hot either.

leave it stock speeds and use prime or something to see what voltage is stock and just see how high you can get with that, if stock volts is around 1.35v then you should be good for 4.5ghz.

stop worrying dude, lifes too short

ok so im doing 4.5 Ghz @ 1.250 volts right now but CPU-Z is going up and down between 1.250 - 1.280 how do i get it to stay on 1.250? i tried 4.7 Ghz @ 1.270 volts earlier and i got a blue screen should i just bump the voltage up to 1.300 and see what it does? ill post some pictures of my bios settings when my 1 hour prime run for 4.5 Ghz is done.
 
@Rohiric LOL , i'll have to read what u just said a sew times before i will understand but thanks for that link
smile.png
the 4.5 Ghz prime95 is "Done" (30 mins) ill do it properly during school tomorrow and im gonna try 4.7 Ghz @ 1.280 volts , but before i do that i'll post some pictures of my BIOS with the 4.5 Ghz settings

8K has just finished on prime (4.7 ghz 1.296 v) bios set to 1.270 and i just bluescreened again (0x00000101) so im going to set it to 1.285 in the bios and see if it works , goodluck myself
