ok, so what does this mean in terms of out over clocking the x58 series?
running at 5 ghz..is this better than say a 975 running at 5 ghz?

response should be fixed in this version:

awesome thread! vote for sticky in the intel section :) :toast:
the marketing stuff is a bit annoying, but oh well :rolleyes: :D
there's gotta be a way to get past the sub zero issues.
Yeah its rad to get 5 ghz on 20c but there must be a way to trick the damn thing somehow. Does anyone have the Intel sandy whitepaper cpu pin diagram that shows all the points and what they do?

Anyone have a silver conductive pen?
OCM :up:
Pin layout is different
Sandy Bridge

techdocuments can you find at ark.intel.com, sandy bridge is listed ;)
thanks man. this is what I was looking for.
has anyone screwed around with a conductive pen yet? any trial and error?
Is anyone else working on figuring this thing out or want to contribute how to go about this? Do you think a pin mod will fix this issue or is it a lost cause?
Has anyone been in touch with Hicookie?
sxs112 nice guide. yeah I agree with saaya this is sticky material.

Could not find any DS with pin outs you posted. Can you show, if it's public info? :)
There is no PEG RBIAS pin on SB package, which help on Clarks/Lynns 1156.
But there are other compensation pins, like PEG_ICOMPI, PEG_ICOMPO, PEG_RCOMPO.
Anyway, I'm almost sure that cold issues have different origin than was on 1156 CPU's. Maybe it's SA or ringbus wastes cold play, etc.
I uplodaded the Sandy Bridge datasheet (volume 1) here. Have a look at 8, "Processor Pin and Signal Information".
Thanks! :up:
Do you have volume 2? Might have a proper voltage limit table in there.
I could only find this:

Looks like the only valid info is vCore, vDIMM and vPLL. Not sure what the hell vCCSA is...
Also, 1.52V max vCore means that SB can take much higher vCore than Gulftown and Clarkdale 24/7 (1.4V for them), means people can push these chips higher not worrying too much about them dying.
doc is up on intel site ;)

@zalbard:
That 1.52V is not an actual safe voltage, just the maximum voltage that can be represented in the new SVID encoding, with 5mv steps instead of the 6.25mv in older CPUs. You can confim that by checking the SVID table in section 7.4, that coincides exactly with the 0.25V - 1.52V range in the table you posted.
For those who use the Sandy Bridge cpu's already... what kind of temps do you see on air?
Wait, so is 1.575 v the max safe voltage for RAM?
