Had a quick shot at 4.6Ghz with my 980X
Batch: 3003B242
Cooling: Water

Zalbard can you please update OP and Official GT thread when you have a moment

Nice! Perhaps my chip is crying because I don't do water cooling like the others. Not even a 2000rpm fan...

BTW I think Zalbard is away for 2 weeks

[kill_a_wat]

All good thanks Sniper. And yes get H20 and things get alot easier

[kitfit1]

wow Kitfit! - very nice run! What are you using for insulation - eraser? front and back? 1.55 vcore very nice.

Eraser, kitchen towel and Neoprene on the socket. Eraser and neoprene on the back. It gives you something to aim for now when your Cascade is up and running

[Gautam]

OK, so before my EVGA E760 arrives I decided to cheat with 2GB problem size... Not so legit lol but it's such a torture for my poor cooling

btw vcore shows 1.392v in CPU-Z under 100% load.

Batch: 3013A524

Mobo: ASUS P6TD Deluxe

Cooler: Venomous X + single Akasa 12cm 1200rpm upwards pulling out of Antec 1200

See, not so bad once you go past 1.3v

@ Kill a wat - nice run at nice cpuv - how are your temps?
I think Mr Zalbard said he was going to be away for a coupe weeks.

heres my HTPC

Intel Core i5 650 batch #: 3942A600
Gigabyte H55N USB3
Corsair Dominator DDR3 2000 c8 (2GB stick, due to clearance)
WD Black 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6Gbs
Lian Li test bench
Corsair HX620 psu
Venomous X w/ push pull SFlex 1900 rpm fans











I am very tempted to throw this one under water, but I think I can get 5 ghz on air linx stable with some more work.

yep no problems...had a look at his previous post Umm temps were around the mid 60s from memory but it is cold outside like 15c here at the moment so that definetly helps. Will try different bclk combos to see if I can get it down. But definetly lower vcore needed for lower bclk from fiddling so far. I need to buy a DMM Lowest I got 4.62Ghz Linx 15 run @ 1.425v at present

And Gautam's chip @ 4.7 at his volt is unbeatable H20 at least for my poor 980 lol that vcore is just too low

[SteveRo]

@ l0ud_sil3nc3 - 4.8 - very nice clocks! These i5s look to be really nice clockers if they all turn out to be as good as yours.
Is intel burn in test acceptable in place of the normal linx run? - Zalbard will be back soon.
5ghz on air would be amazing - i don't think I have seen it yet (linx stable).

@Kill a wat - very nice temps! I wish we had some of your cool weather - we are sweltering in the DC area.

I will dl linx but I am pretty sure IBT is the same thing simplified. Also I can only fit a 2GB stick of ram due to clearance issues with my Venomous X, so the problem size is a little small.

[Gautam]

Seems like the new 650's are especially strong. I got one from microcenter around launch, and it needed 1.45v just to pass OCCT at 4.6GHz. :-/ Probably would've needed the same for linpack at 4.5...made me lose some faith in the 32nm chips at the time. Now they're definitely looking like a cut above the Wolfdales.

And Gautam's chip @ 4.7 at his volt is unbeatable H20 at least for my poor 980 lol that vcore is just too low

I've been doing this for about 7 years now, and not once until now have I had anything near the "unbeatable" chip ...I think I've been long overdue

Just thought i'd better post this up before Steve get's his Cascade up and running and blast's me out of the water

I'm looking seriously at an SS setup. I notice your temps read -6. Are those values the actual numbers to expect compared to what the Evap head actually reads. The numbers there are widely documented as -40 to -45.

Hope I'm making sense. It just seems I'm missing something.

[Jor3lBR]

Thanks OC Nub it worked like a charm!

[OC Nub]

Very nice Jor.

Nice results everyone.

My evap idles at -54c and goes up to -51c under full load at 5ghz HT on.
There is only one reason that it is showing as -6c in Real Temp, that is because i'm running CPU PLL at 1.2v as opposed to 1.425v or even the 1.8v that you see peeps running. This only applies when i'm running Linx. If i run Prime Blend at 5ghz, then CPU PLL needs to be at 1.425v and the load temps in Real Temp then show as 10c/8c/8c/4c. This then shows a Delta of 61c under full load at 5ghz HT on. But of course the evap is still at -51c, which shows that even at this load the SS is coping easily with the load and can handle more.

Hope that clears things up for you a bit Norman.

Very nice charlie, looks like your new build is doing well.

[PiLsY]

Been working my arse off for the last 72 hours to improve - ended up tearing down my loop, running an 8400GS on air instead of the GTX260s and using the 360 and 240mm rads for just the cpu. Moved the pc outside, ghetto rigged 3 x sanyo denki 360cfm (4.2amps@12v) fans to the 360. Gflops are actually lower than some of my other runs - I've seen 71gflops when running memory at cas 8 2000mhz+.

Anyway - VERY pleased with the result. Even beat one of the SS guys - only by 0.5mhz though . Same hardware as before, memory @ 6x, uncore @ 12x and qpi @ 18x. Tried my hardest for more but there's just no more left in it. Maybe in winter I can squeeze another 25-30mhz. I really wanted to get 2nd place off Anth Seebel, but its just not going to happen - can't get that last 15mhz without lower temps. Took 3 attempts to get this run to complete, it definitely wouldnt do 30 loops. As soon as any core hits 96c linx errors/freezes.

Congrats, gtreat run.

[tomb18]

Damn!! Mine just failed at pass 19!!!!!!!!
Oh well, up one more notch of voltage.

[tomb18]

Ok Here's my run. After bumping the voltage another notch I got all 20 passes and 8 hours of prime95 blend (One thread failed at 13 hours though!)
