5ghz MONSTER

[KING_OF_SAND]

I haven't had time to post bench pics, so here they are. This is an i5 5.0ghz, cooled with an H100 at the LOWEST setting. 24/7 stable.

And yes I am using Intel HD 3000 graphics

nice oc bro it took me 1.6 to get 5.3Ghz

I hope ur not running 1.5 for 24/7 most agree anything over 1.4 for 24/7 shortens the life fast basically making the oc harder to maintain at that voltage. One forum member here took his to 5GHz like you and left it folding for like 10 days then it crashed or something and he couldnt get it to oc even lower without more volts than he had used before. I.E. was able to do 4.5 at 1.275 and now needs 1.4 to get same 4.5GHz

i havent seen anybody claim to have degraded their sb with less than 1.55v yet.

thats nice that dude but what is your ram at?

only the scores look low for 5ghz :|

the one I'm speaking of used 1.45

I do not run this 24/7, just for benching. most of the time I am running 4.6ghz with a 1.38v.

Also my ram is 1600mhz 9-9-9-24

sounds very good then

My motherboard can use up to 2400mhz RAM but finding the ones on the QVL is a pain in the ass.

I went with 1866 mem cause i heard over that and its not as noticeable performance wise

Hi, i'm the one that degraded the 2500k with 1.4v actually

i had it at 5ghz with 1.4 and it was folding stable.... for about 10 days ... then not anymore... and i couldn't even go back to my 4.8 at 1.33v which was stable for months before that (yes folding at 4.8ghz for months was oK) now i'm at 4.5ghz with 1.32v or something.. still the moral of the story is at over 1.4 with SB do not stress the cpu for too long (i was benching at 5.2ghz with like 1.45v for fun, which is ok) but for 24/7 I HIGHLY recommend LESS then1.39v.

this is just my opinion from my experiences

 

[KING_OF_SAND]

Agree, which is why I like my 4.6 at 1.38v.
