2600k + SS

Last night I fired up the SS and managed to get some decent 2D benches. I had been using 54x all along since 55x did not work for me at all and was stock on bclk limit. With 56x I was able to push the previous limit of 5700 up to 5767. Spent some time on 57x and wasnt able to get into Windows, similar to 55x. I guess the sweet spot on this chip is 56x and for vcore 1.58v LL2 is optimal. Good chip, I hope to keep it alive for a while :)

My 1m kept freezing on screenshot so all I have is this for now

32M

Have to do a 32m XP install for 32m, this was on W7. Will update that, I have to break 6m that is my goal.

looking good man! nice UD7 action!!!!!

Great clock and strong cpu! Set tight timings and show us better scores

My memory sucks mate, no hyper or anything good on hand. It wont even run 8-9-8 :(

I will improve the 1M and 32M though, just need some time to work on it.

nice chip

congrats...

batch code? serial number? :D

Interesting findings & a great CPU :up:

L040B165

I was lucky for the first time in many years. I just picked up one chip from my local pc shop and it turned out to be excellent. Ill never win the lotto now

Thats awesome!
Hope I can find a chip like this.... :up:
Only 1.58 vcore and 56x multi 103bclk..... Nice....

Well 1.58 bios but with LL lev 2 it is more like 1.61v in reality. I dont like to run this voltage with anything but the single core 2d benches as I dont want this thing degrading. Ill probably drop to 1.55v or less when I run 3d and such. Too good of a chip to go too crazy voltage with, for now anyway lol

Some nice scores man i need sb:shocked:

well done that is some serious OC

wish i had a chip like this eeek :up:

nice oc donkeykong what were your cpu temps around? -30c im guessing. how did is scale from stock cooling to the ss?

awesome clock bro, same chip as sam-olso's GRRR :D

I have the same chip too and it's pretty crappy. Not all about the batch...

thats odd.. Supposely the newer batches are quite good.. Maby you got a good batch but lower binned older batch.. ><

Nice!
Very good chip:up:

What single stage we you using? How cold was it? Do you have any pictures for our rntertainment? :D

yes i am very interested at the SS you were using, how many watts is it rated for?

Nice SB
5.7GHz><

Impressive Eldonko, great job :up:

(But try to get better memory if possible bro ... :p: )

Nice, altough you should have some G.Skill ripjawsX for DDR3-2000+ CL6 or DDR3-2100+ CL7 action. :D

Impressive results. What kind of cooling used?

It says in the title - SS ( single stage )

Good job.

Good CPU ;)

Ahhh my 2600K stuck at 5.4 Ghz

Cooler is a rotary single stage, a big sucker (nearly 80 pounds), built for holding -30+ @ 300w. When benching PI temps never really went above -45C, generally around -47 or so on a 32m. I dont bench CPU intensive benches at 1.61v, too risky to degrade this nice CPU.

Benching SS over water has 2 advantages
1) Temps are kept in check so I dont get instability from hi temps. I could move from 5.6 on 32m to 5.65.
2) I dont know if this is even true or possible but I like to use SS over water because I think a cold overvolted chip will last longer than a very hot overvolted chip.

I should also add that I had no issues with running the chip under cold. I just start in BIOS for a few mins while cooler drops to -50.

Golden chip, take care! Nice results, congrats! :up:

another double post ugh

Small update. I managed to squeeze a few more Mhz out of this chip for 32m. Time still slow, need some memory, this is the best this bbse can do. Working on 3d now

very interesting - I could run all multipliers as long as I was below 5590 MHZ. Seems chips are different there also.
very nice work 5.7+ is quite a number on Sandy :clap: Sub 6 min 32m is piece of cake with this nice cpu :yepp: Have fun tweaking :up:

nicee

what batch is it? fpo?

good you're using subzero ....helps zero degradation :D

Nice work El Donko, keep tweaking and pushing bro :)

Guess you need to install that XP for S-pi :D

I'v tested 3 L040B165, two of them are average, one is good. A friend has a L040B165 with max 45 mp, so thers really bad ones out there too.

CPU is here:

I have 3 versions of XP installed actually and 32m is slower on all 3 for some reason. I really dont get why other than W7 is on a SSD and the XP partitions are not but really that is far fetched. 1m is super fast and 32m is slow in XP in OS that I have used for years in the past and have proven to be the best for 32m. For example the exact same run on my fastest XP install is 5-6 seconds slower. That is a 100% optimized OS, copy waza, CDT, hi priority, full reg tweaks, nothing else installed but video drivers, etc. I will figure it out though, I may have to move my steam folder from my other SSD partition and try an XP install there.

Could also just be that W7 SP1 is fast for PI and my lack of hyper and 7-7-7 at hi mem speed is making all the difference.

double post

You need LSC (Large System Cache) in XP, you'll be much closer to 'normal' once you get that engaged.

nice results man!

Eldonko.. Interesting serial number on your chip.. my golden was 0771... It died...

I have another of the same batch that was 1077 that only does 54 multi..

I just picked up another today thats around 1007.. does at least 56 multi...

time to read up how to tune your OS mate

LSC is definitely a good start heh

Have OS tweaked now, been working on it today.

After a lot of benching I finally get a sub 6m :) This same run with 7-7-7 would be sweet.

Next step is to do some runs on server 03.

Latest run
