Hey guys recently cracked my 5ghz mark ... and here is my prime run so far..

Nice voltages there mate, upload it to hw bot then return to a speed that needs <1.4v you dont want to degrade your expensive CPU from benching it too long

 

[Finners88]

Nice temperatures, are you under water?

That's a good chip you have there, you definietly won the sillcon lottery to get that clock stable on those volts.

That's a nice clock there. I still can't get mine past 4.522 on water.

That's a nice clock there. I still can't get mine past 4.522 on water.

thats unlucky, i got mine to 4.7 on the d14. i think the sillicone lottery didnt favour you on this occasion.

did you try higher volts? what board are you using? i have to say its a bit weird you cant go past 4.5 :s

Very nice clock, mines at 4.7GHz on a Silver Arrow. Really need to get another TJ07 modded so I can watercool again.

ooooh you have an awesome chip but according to most people you should not put more than 1.35 v on the core of a sandy chip specially if you plan to run it 24/7. just put 1.35 on the core of your chip and see what clocks you can get... i bet with your chip you can get a stable clock of about 4.7 easily and run it 24/7 with no issues... my 2500k can only reach 4.5 with 1.35 v but im happy with it
