nice McDown what are your mem speeds ? chip seems very nice, does it makes a lot of dif on vcore to use HT ?

Higher frequencies even 5MHz more, cause BSOD under Prime95 AVX - In-place large FFTs, regardless of the voltage.

Upon my further googling, I've found close answers to my questions. Let me share and I hope this helps you with better understanding, too.
Please read 2 quotes below.
Quote:
Offset voltage is a value added to the base voltage of your CPU. If at stock you have 1.1V, and you set +0.2 to the offset voltage, you are stating that the maximum voltage is going to be 1.3
Load Line Calibration forces the voltage you set in the BIOS through the chip, and gets rid of Vdroop. Vdroop is a drop on voltage which follows Intel specifications to avoid damaging the CPU. WITHOUT LLC, when you set 1.35V on the BIOS, while you stress test the chip, voltage might drop to 1.3 - 1.25 V. When the test stops it will go back up. So Vdroop only is enabled while your CPU is under stress. This means you will have a larger voltage when idle than while doing work.
Therefore you need a method of having a lower voltage when you CPU is idling. Enter C1E. With this feature, the CPU lowers it's multiplier when it`s idling, but also lowers the voltage! This is why Offset voltage is useful. It dynamically adjusts the clock AND voltage to what the chip needs.
Without Offset you CPU doesn't know what maximum and minimum voltage you want. It will just stay at the same voltage the whole time, while idling and while doing work. If the voltage is not very high, the degradation shouldn't be substantial, but it's always nice having lower voltage when you don't need alot of power. Why would you want to use 1.45V when browsing the web when you could do the same at 1.1?
Also, this inderectly lowers the temps a bit. With lower voltages the chip is less hot, but when it idles it also underclocks and the temperature difference is very noticable.
From this thread.Quote:
Offset mode gives you more stability at lower maximum voltages. When settings the voltage change it from fixed to offset. You will often get lower stable voltages than with fixed, that alone is a great reason to do it. The other reason offset is sweet is that it doesn't keep your processor at a set voltage. This allows you to save power, heat, and add longer life to your processor. Just start at +0.005V and work your way up. I was able to get it working at -0.010V (which when under full load was 1.23V) but it wasn't stable enough.
For my setup +0.005V = 1.28V under full load.

And a good post on Vdroop.

well finally i found my gamming config it needs a nice bump on vcore from 4.9 to 5GHz but im happy quad rad setup keep it cool
5GHz with PATRIOTS 2000 9-11-9-27 1T @ 2400 11-12-12-31 1T :)

very nice andressergio :up:
guys a question
on IB 102.1 x 49 = 5GHz consumes same more or less vcore than doing 100 x 50 ???
thanks in advance

next try is on liquid cooling and ht enabled, but i'm afraid of how many degrees i'll get ...

able to do 4500mhz @ 1.16v
air cooling.
PS: i have lost a screen...
make some linx/ibt screen dude...
In my daily rig this cpu runs very stable at 5.3Ghz using 1.520 vcore. However, it needs a lot of juice to reach 5.6Ghz unfortunately. This 1M run was just for testing purposes, daily OS, no tweaks.

andressergio; Is that the patriots or the samsungs in the screenshot 5G2400?
