i have been tweaking my oc a little, new details are in sig. @1.37v bios setting it crashed after 5 min on prime, but. after only 1 minute core 3 stopped. i have upped the voltage .01 to see if it fixes it, but would it be safe to assume that i have found the limit of my cpu? im told goin over 1.4 is a nono.
2500k on prime @4.7ghz

67 is pretty hot. Why not try lowering the multiplier first and leave the voltage alone?
67 is fine, the tempratures u get in prime are alot higher then anything u will ever get in real world scenarios... Why dont u just do 4.5 as a 24/7 overclock? The difference between 4.5 and 5 is so minimal in daily use and gaming that its not really worth the extra volts imo, anything over 4.5 is just for show i think
dont know where to find out stop code... fell asleep while testing! but i think all cores are linked, on my mobo it does not offer seperate clocks

4.5 is my 24/7, i just wanted to find the limits of my cpu/mobo.
FTR.4500MHz

The limit is when everything fried ! =p
Lol okaimy limit is 5175 Mhz with a 2500k
i wish i could win the lottery!!
5.3Ghz with my 2600K.
Max, not 24/7.
at what voltage tho? and is that with ht on or off?
1.41v HT on.
wow, thats some cpu
Can we see a cpu-z validation?
Can we see a cpu-z validation?
Absolutely. If I can find my old CPU-Z link I will post it. But I'm happy with my OC at the moment so I won't be changing anything for a while.
Here is my post for 5.4Ghz @ 1.408 unstable: post.
