Intel 4.5GHz & 5GHz LinX Stable Club

[donmarkoni]

Nah, don't think so :p Is that under cascade ?

Yeah, he said it.

Cascade @-115 .
But the CPU is a golden one . Also can I post with 1 core? The first core of this CPU is ~200MHz better than the second one I think I can pass at 5.8 (if the board can do it of course).

Anything is allowed, as long as it passes.
Please do 20 passes with 2 cores at 5.6GHz, then do 5.8GHz with 1 core and stay first on a list for a long time.
Keeping fingers crossed for for you.

I don't know when I`ll have the chance to bench again on cascade. It`s not mine, It`s a friend`s cascade, but when I have the chance i`ll try , for sure if the NB is cooled better the CPU can do more . Also disabling the second core helps the first one to stay cooler so I think 9x650 with 1 core or smth like that is possible .

Don't know if 4threads linX qualifies, but in fact it's harder to pass then 8threads ( I'll do 8 at night). Due to the gflops beeing lower it will, for sure, take forever

How come I was not in the last update? I don't see anything wrong with my settings.

Yeah, if you want. It's not against the rules. Hence me mentioning the number of cores and threads in the OP.

For SB, all things considering, it does, sure. I'd actually recommend using that for SB since current Linpack implementation is not ideal...

Hmmm, who is that, then? Looks familiar... An imposter, perhaps? Want me to get rid of this one?!



Next time, double check or use search. You were added. The list is quite large, though. Easy to get lost unless you're on top!

Edit: oops, I got your batch listed wrong, though (used the sig info by accident). Fixed that.

This was very uninteresting...

Average board, average memory, CPU not so bad, raised multi until it wouldn't load Windows. Settled at 51, run LinX, got BSOD, raised vCore, passed LinX.

This is not overclocking as I know and like.

Nice OC Stan....but you're missing the CPU-Z MEM tab

[Paradoxxx]

Hi guys I'm submitting this interim OC until I install new fans on my rad and utilize Indigo Extreme TIM.

CPU - 4C 4T (HT OFF)
Mobo - EVGA Classified 760
Batch - UNKNOWN (Will provide with future submissions, had it in a text file which seems to be misplaced now)
Cooling - Liquid Cooling 26C ambient temps.

Time to climb some stepps 5.2 is not too far away, something around 1.46v will do it

Nice OC Stan....but you're missing the CPU-Z MEM tab

According to the rules on page 1 of the forum - only the CPU-Z window showing the frequency is required. While I appreciate that other have showed the CPU-Z memory page - it is not required.

Do you want to join the club? Then make a post and follow the rules:
You must have at least 2GB of memory installed in the system.
Screenshot must show a CPU-Z window with 4.5GHz+ frequency.
(Update: 3 Jan, 2011) Sandy Bridge owners - please only post 5GHz+ submissions. I am keen on preserving the challenge, so I will only add SB to the 5GHz club. Thank you for understanding.
Screenshot must show a LinX window (max memory settings, click "All" button or pick the last memory size option from the drop down menu, the "All" option is highly recommended) either running the 20th+ loop with no errors, or with 20+ successful passes.
(Update: 14 Dec, 2010) Please make sure that LinX is running / calculating (21st or higher number loop) when you're taking your screenshot (on at least one of your screenshots). You obviously want a CPU-Z window with 4.5GHz+ (5GHz+ for Sandy Bridge) frequency on the same screenshot, as well.
This rule will be enforced for all the new submissions.
Click here to download the latest version of LinX with updated Linpack libraries
List the motherboard you used.
List the cooling you used (cooling type at least, such as: air / chilled air / water / chilled water / phase).
List your full batch number (highly recommended, but not a must).
Optionally, you could show us your voltages using a program coming with your motherboard, such as EasyTune, E-Leet, TurboV, etc.

Therefore my run should be valid.

I've got 12GB of ram in this puppy any it takes more than 4 hours to run the test - much longer than the other "Stable" submissions.

[Paradoxxx]

Stan the topic of "what is stable" is near and dear to my heart.

I certainly agree that 1hr is not a long enough duration to attest an OC being 24/7 stable. On a day-day basis I run a 4.2 GHz OC in which the stability was tested by various 8hr OCCT linpak tests. Over the years I've been changing my "stability" standards in line with the various tools available, prior to linpak and OCCT I would have run prime95 for 24hrs to attest stability.

However! I must agree that for the purpose of this thread 1hr is sufficient to post a configuration for "bragging" rights. Its like configuring a vehicle just for the purpose of attaining the highest top speed ever or lowest 0-60 times.

I loath the act of posting SuperPI or 5run Intel Burn Test screenshots with the insinuation that this is somewhat "stable".

Kudos to the author for putting a reasonable goal for the i7s. Perhaps if the Sandys are to easily OCable the 5GHz bar might be raised?

Zalbard,

How about separating the groups by those running all their CPU theads and those just running the cores. I notice that many people are just running the cores to get into the 5+ group. That's reallying gaming it since they are only producing half the heat and using half the power - essentially running thier CPUs at 50% load.

[Daddyjaxx]

I think this baby has a little left in her. I'll play some more tomorrow. 5.0 GHz is actually pretty easy to obtain. I did get a bummer of a chip at Fry's. Could NOT get in to Windows at anything above 4.3 no matter what I tried. I'll stick with MC. They seem to get better CPU's.

Not bad temps considering it is 75F in here. I hope it gets cold again soon.

I have my other up to 4.8 on air with a Zalman Ultra and Gigabyte UD7 but temps are over 80. Waiting to put it under water as well.

Quality first post. Welcome to the club!

Very nice, indeed! And not big deal, really, it's not required, and LinX tells us how much memory it uses anyway.

No can do, I am afraid. We have too many categories already, and that would lead to an even bigger list with extra nearly-identical submissions. I don't want that. This club isn't about ranking, but if you want the top spot then this just one of the tricks to get there.
Also, no way that's 50% load. HT creates virtual cores, not real ones, and judging by heat output and performance, that's at least 90%, if you ask me. LinX is highly optimised to use everything your CPU has to offer, regardless of HT. This is one of the reasons why no-HT submissions have higher GFlops. The stress levels are usually somewhat lower, however (hence the 90%+ assumption).

[thobel]

how do I get the batch number of my CPU?

[zalbard]

how do I get the batch number of my CPU?

It can be found on both CPU heat spreader and retail box.

[Daddyjaxx]

Tried 5.1 @ 1.5v today and it BSOD on the 19th Linx pass. What a bummer. It's cooler today so the temps stayed the same. I'll try again later. I know my BCLK is only good to about 101.5...too many hard drives and video cards that keep me down.

I know I can get 5.1 or 5.2 if I have the cajones to do it. My temps are fine. My 24/7 so far is 4.5 @ 1.35 with normal LLC, XMP for the memory, offset set so that I can keep all of the voltages and speed down when not needed and everything else on auto.

[x-built-Stan]

DaddyJaxx- that avatar is just wrong. Someone's going to have an epileptic fit.

[Daddyjaxx]

I love my avatar.

Do I get to move up the list now?

You most certainly do!

Duh!! Both CPU-Z's are up but I forgot to click the memory tab in the screenie.

One pass hit over 80.deg but the other 19 stayed at an average of 77 deg.

[Daddyjaxx]

The memory screen is not mandatory.

[crossg]

Yeah, still not very smart putting up 2 CPU-Z's on the same info tab.

Nice rig BTW. Mine doesn't like to SLI 2 GTX 580's with modrerate clocks. Just shuts off when loading the first test in 3DMK 11. Could be mobo or PSU.
