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
