Intel 4.5GHz & 5GHz LinX Stable Club

[zalbard]

So if 4.5 was challenge for old i7s, and SB gets 5 on Air, what clocks would be challenge for SB? 5.2? 5.5? And foremost - should it be in separate thread/club?

Some people got to 4.5GHz using air cooling before SB.
I think 5GHz is fine, really. I mean, look at vCore, it's borderline dangerous 24/7 (and semi-typical for benching).

By the way, a few people killed or degraded SBs already on these forums using 1.5-1.6V. So watch out, people.

P.S. Not updating the OP yet. Nothing wrong with the latest submissions from what I've seen, though.

Believe me they all won't do 5ghz :p at least not on air

I agree it is still early with the release of these chips. The more average and below average ones are out there.

Time will tell how well these SB chips scale at 1.5+v vcore load and if they are durable enough to handle one to two hours of LinX stress at these high volts on air/water (1.45/1.475/1.50+ load).

My first try @ 4.64GHz. Had to pull 12 Gigs of RAM to speed things up a little.

If I could get LinX working I may be able to join this tread. Have read the readme and all the settings look right but it will not start stressing. Also wont stop when the stop button is clicked, have to exit from the file menu. Missing something simple I bet? Sorry for drifting off the main topic.

Edit LinX 0.6.3 works 0.6.4 doesn't.

i7 980X @ 4.538 Ghz. Batch 3036C076.
Asus Rampage III Formula. Bios 505.
Cooling Air.
Vcore 1.448v.


Squeaked in under the wire. This 980X does not want to go 4.6.

Wow! This thread has been flooded with SB!

[Erklat]

So if 4.5 was challenge for old i7s, and SB gets 5 on Air, what clocks would be challenge for SB? 5.2? 5.5? And foremost - should it be in separate thread/club?

I agree. No point in flooding the thread with the scores we all now are easily achievable. The thread should be renamed though to something like '4.5ghz >=45nm club' or something like that since 980x is 32nm too.

I already got 2 Sandies (2500K) here that won't do 4.5 on air, heck not even 4.3 for one...

But usually you won't find ayone reporting this here

Its not all that sunny as it looks...

[nolonger]

Same batch? Could you post the batch numbers and motherboard here please?

That's not typical for SB, but you are right the results may vary depending on the batch#, and you will probably get better OC when maturing BIOSes and MBs, after a little while.

The 5.5GHz would be a good challenge (and a exclusive) SB-club, otherwise it may get crowded fast. It should get it's own thread too.

[miahallen]

Sam...Zalbard has alread updated the OP to require 5GHz+ for SB

baddest batch till now :p

My Dlx board easily goes to 4.8 with the 2600K, but it gets far too hot when stressing for my taste( 85°C ). Benched with the same board at 5.2Ghz with other CPUs... These 2 CPUs are real duds. I really hope that if someone else gets that batch, he would be more lucky. Luckily the buyers only want 4ghz stable Will test them on the GB mobo this week...

Thanks. I'll make sure to watch out for those CPU's.

Very nice! Great vCore, also! Could you please some give more info about your system as requested in the OP, though?

CPU batch # if you know it (it can be found both on the chip and on the box, perhaps you still have the box lying around?).
Not a must, though.

mate, it's a sample

anyway i got huge troubles with my mainboard ... it goes every time in over voltage protection (i've already disabled the anti surge protection) ... maybe it's the beta bios that needs to be fixed ...

You realize you have to have 20x LinX stable @ 5Ghz or higher with SB right?

bro20k - nice work! batch? cpu cooling is water?

[bro20000]

Batch is L040B307 on water! Soon be on chilled water hoping for 1.4v 5.2Ghz
