[lab501.ro] 3 WR's with 2500K @ 5.92GHz

[matose]

Seems that cold did wonders for this chip. On air it did 5.7GHz almost stable for SPI 1M with only 2 cores, but when I put it on SS it growed a pair of wings

Direct boot in WinXP @ 5900MHz and 4 core with only 1.55-1.6v and I was... WOW! On air this is a very hot CPU idling at 61 degrees with 1.6v (Prolimatech MegaShadow + 120x120x38 2100rpm), so I think this is the secret for scaling so good on subzero.

Also, special thanks to poparamiro which pushed me to put this chip on cold and was with me on the phone when I booted for the first time at 5.9GHz!

Test system:

CPU: Core i5 2500K
MB: Maximus IV Extreme (rev B3) 1303 BIOS
RAM: A-Data XPG Plus 1866+ CL8 with Corsair SPD (Elpida Hyper)
VGA: MSI N580GTX Lightning
PSU: Corsair AX1200
Cooling: Dimastech Single-Stage

Results:

#3 SPI 32M (unoptimized, wrong OS, no wazaa) -> 5.51.562 @ 5884MHz



WR SPI 1M (no wazaa) -> 6.328s @ 5919MHz



WR PiFast -> 12.55s @ 5919MHz



WR CPUz -> 5919.6MHz



Thanks for reading,

Awesome 59X chip

Congrats Matose

Could you try 57X and higher BCLK? That will be crazy fast

[matose]

Thanks buddy! Unfortunately I don't have 60x multiplier in BIOS to try 60x98.6

[Charles Wirth]

I see people are running out to buy 2500k's

Huge chip and grats!

[chuchnit]

Nice scores and nice 2500k matose. Now hit 2k1 and hit it hard!!

[chucupis]

congrats, great cpu you got there, impressive scores, try 2k1 it must be a great score

best regards

[Dumo]

Unfortunately I don't have 60x multiplier in BIOS to try 60x98.6

That cpu passed 5900Mhz wall then its possible

Ask Asus to open 60X

[M.Beier]

Holy crap!!!
Insane chip buddy!

grats matose! is that your 200th chip?

[voklskier4452]

Crazy stuff man, makes me want to go out and a buy a few 2500Ks

[Dr. Vodka]

Wasn't 57x the max multiplier available on SB CPUs? Interesting to see 59x there. What's up? Higher multipliers available thanks to some motherboard hacks or what? Anyway, it's nice to see that artificial limitation going away. Kickass CPU you've got there! Keep up the good work

[thebanik]

Wow awesome chip, Congrats on the WR, and yes I guess overclockers would now start to bin 2500K more crazily

I have been waiting to see this congrats Matose

[subzero 1979]

fantastic chip congrats matose

grats matose! is that your 200th chip?

Thanks a lot guys! This is my 4th or 5th chip, I traded a 2600k for it

This is old batch (L041C124) so don't go running to the stores because the new batches are crap

[youngpro]

sweet results mate,

now i expect you and the bearded one to get back into the lab, grab couple lightning 275 or 285, load windows xp up and play the favourite game..

this is a requirement, not a request

[loopy83]

Insane... x59

57-58 and higher BCLK didn't work?

I am waiting for some waaza'd and optimized pi runs...

See you in Istanbul

[matose]

For some reason, the M4E was stuck at 59x

Will run some 2k1 and SPI 32m on a GB board because my kit of Hypers don't run above 1000MHz with M4E

[Lucky_n00b]

Congrats Matose!! (^_^)d

Was nice to see more and more SandiBytches hitting close to 6Ghz !

Keep pushing it bro

Btw, what was the temps during bench? -20C?

[matose]

-43 on evap, CPU temp I don't know

[Leeghoofd]

Congratz on an amasing find... great clocks, here's comes Lab 501 dominating the 2/3D scene

[SoF]

very nice results matose!! awesome chip you found there

[Leeghoofd]

and don't give it to Chris plz... he's already more than fast enough

[Olivon]

Crazy clocks Matose

Nice find
