Finally got 5.2Ghz 3930k

[Henrik]

So i finally got 5.2Ghz on my 3930k.. My goal was to hit 5.2 and after a few blue screens i finally got it validated, ofc not stable..

I was a little scared going 1.5v+ but after reading some of you guys going 1.51+ on 22nm so i guess its fine for short periods for my 32nm.
What would you say is the max Vcore just for short periods, just going for a max OC? And what would you feel comfortable with benching?

Anyone else with SandyBridge-E that would like to share there results? Would be cool with some comparisons.

props to ye but I don't know really much about x79 as it's comfortably out of my price range/ I go into computers v.late

I wouldnt go much further,unless you go subzero.
1.53v on cpu for benchmarks with some attension how the cpu responds.And be carefull with vccsa and vccio,but wont be a problem for you with 1600mhz ram,only if you try to oc them at 2133mhz+ or use bclk oc as you have.
Its a real power user when maxed out.I have 400w+ powerdraw on the system when i do cpu-benching.

Holy moly, 400W that's a lot.. Got me kind of curious what my CPU is pushing. I will have to get me a wattage meter. I'm guess that the built in power meter in AIDA64 is noting to rely on? Its reporting 162W for "CPU Package" and 142 for "CPU IA Cores" that's at 4.6Ghz 1.32v.

As for VCCSA I was running 1.15v. To be honest i have no idea how much this effects bclk oc'ing, and in what increments you should be increasing it. VCCIO I cant seem to find on my R4E.. (I have VCCSA at 1.1v for my 24/7 4.6)

400w+ measured with a wattage meter from wall socket(220v)
1.15v vccsa is pretty safe,its when you use 2400mhz+ ram,you`ll have to use 1.25v+ to be stable when oc`ing cpu to max.
Forgot it was CPU VTT on the R4E,vccio is on the 1155 socket,sorry my mistake.
And you have a good cpu,1.32v to be 4.6ghz stable is sweet.

Accidentally voted 1.5v thinking it was max volts - change mine to 1.35v

oh okey, no problem mate. I think i have the first CPU VTT at 1.1v.
Well i guess I'm lucky then. Thinking of setting my Vcore to 1.35 and just go as far as the cpu lets me.

Is there a way for me to change yours to 1.35 in the poll?
