~Intel Core i3/i5 32nm Dual Core OverCLARKing Thread~

awesome thread p55 ftw subscribed

Finally pulled some mem speed out of the classy.

[OC Nub]

WOW, that is great!
I had a hard time with memory on my ftw board, nice work.

[radaja]

very nice results Splave!!
well im currently running 18x200 ddr3-1600 cl7 with vdimm at 1.66 and vtt at 1.36v
priming now with large ffts for 25m and all is good,i think my vtt problem was due to me trying
to get this chip to run the same as my first one in terms of vtt required for ddr3-1600@200 bclk(1.25v)
now that i have come to terms with the amount this one needs i think all will be good

[OC Nub]

going up some more, these are so much fun.

yea they are.once you get a handle on what voltages they like,OCing then becomes a breeze
they just keep going higher and higher with little effort.
very nice OC you got there OC Nub

[Splave]

QPI speed on those gigabyte boards is epic. Very nice Nub

Here is max mem speed on Air 1.77vdimm (dont want to fry them 1gb hypers hard to find!) 1.35vtt
http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1279480 passes 1m pi

Will see max BCLK next, what are you guys hitting bclk wise?

[radaja]

well it seems to be a decent chip after all.
maybe this one can do 5.0GHz with less than 1.50v?

Thanks guys.

Splave, That is awesome, I cant get 2000 with clarkdale but havent gone above 1.70vdimm.

Max I have been able to get to boot is 236 but far from stable, any higher and I get an error saying boot manager or bootfile corrupt something like that.

Tomorrow I hope to get a 655k chip and try it out, I have never had an unlocked chip using intel, last one I had was an fx60, horrible chip.

Damn radaja, looks like a great chip, congrats!

Where are you guys getting the SuperTalent kits? Newegg has none

Looking good radaja. You seem to have great luck with chips. Pretty similar to the 550 I have as far as voltages. I think though that you'll find above 4.5, the voltage jumps are big. I'm at 1.4 for 4.5, but takes 1.485 for 4.6, and that will fail prime after about 2 hours. I can run most benches at 4.85-4.9, at 5.0, I can just get a 1m pass done.

Hello people, this is my first post.

It's good to see that good chips are still around.

I am in the market for an i3-530. I definitely want to overclocking it. Anyone know what batch numbers and stores to look for in the Montreal (Canada) area?
*Anyone willing to help me get one is free to PM me as well.

[OC Nub]

Welcome to XS Lima. radaja put together a nice list of batch #'s and how well they clock on the first page. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...74&postcount=1

I dont know how new it is but went to download P95 and found a newer version, 26.1. Looks like they changed it up a bit. Going to try it out tonight.

thanks.as to the ram,you get them at ewiz.com
SUPERTALENT RAM AT ewiz
also i have the new prime95 and once it started i was like
WTH?core2 starting with the wrong fft?so i just went with what i know

@4x4N,thanks.yea this is the lowest vcore reqiured for 4.5GHz for my i3-530's,
and i know how they stop scaling voltage as the frequency goes up.
so im hoping with this one i can at least get 5.0GHz with out having to give
it way too much voltage

@lima,welcome to XS's,are you the same lima from tpu by any chance?
as OC Nub said theres a database in the first post.dont know about what stores are in canada?

Thanks for the welcome guys.

@ radaja,Yes, I am that Lima.

Do you guys think those batch numbers can still be found in stores? I figured that by now, they'd all be sold. Anyhow, gonna make a note of them and take a trip to some computer stores to have a look.

BTW, how do I decipher the batch #'s? So that I can know if I run into a batch that was made near the same time as the ones posted already

@ radaja, where did you get the i3-530 #3942A608? I'm guessing it was recently?

Thanks again guys. This is also gonna be my first hunt too.

i got mine at newegg

very nice,wahts your vid on that chip?i will add your chip to the database

I5-661 Prime and LinX stable 4,7Ghz

great results,whats your vid on your chip?i will add it to the database too

[OC Nub]

Thanks for the link radaja. Nice results guys!

I think I may try a 655 today, going to see if they have any at the local store. Ran blend last last night at 4600 on my i5-660.

[radaja]

that is one sweet i5-660 you got there OC Nub
also if you decide to get some supertalent hypers
dont pay the extra money for the 2200 cl8 or 2000 cl7
kits as they seem to b=do about the same as the cheaper
2000 cl8's

[OC Nub]

picked up the 655 and just installed it. can only boot with a single stick, updated bios prior to installing the chip and loaded defaults but still cant boot with dual ch memory. giga get to work i want to play.

[Splave]

long cmos clear? what bios you on 10a?

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

The bios sets the default voltage at 1.13xx and the batch number is in my sig. I got it at Fry's and it was an open box, I guess I got lucky


I also have a 655k that I need to test as well, but I don't think it is going to be as good as my 650

[OC Nub]

long cmos clear? what bios you on 10a?

I will try taking battery out fr a while and see if it helps. Im on the p55a ud7 with the latest bios, f6b. cpuz v1.54 reads it as a i5 650. I may try it in the ud6 which imo is a better board anyway.

There are new bios for these board OCNub, I believe Splave asked stasio and Dino22 about them.

You might wanna try pm'ing Dinos22.



@radaja,OCNub, Splave

Seems like you guys are having lot of fun with these babies. They are indeed very fast and the low heat produce makes it fun to OC beyond 4.5ghz.

Superb results in this thread!
