(3) 2600Ks testing

[Dumo]

It seems that 2600K will be just another E8600 soon

Try to squeez any little that left on this platform before new cpu becomes available

Prepare for SB-E

Nice chip Dumo.

It seems like the problem is with my Dominator and MIVE-Z...just like before, when the MIVE P67 first came out, I bought one from the local MC store and that board didn't like my Dominator either. The one I ordered from Newegg worked like a charm. Now, I think this MIVE-Z is acting the same way toward the Dominator. When I have more time, I will change memory and see what will happen. Hopefully it's just that so I don't have to send the board back to Newegg.

If you plan to stay on SB it would be easier to buy a different kit of memory (NON Hypers) than to RMA non defective boards because your memory doesnt clock the same on this platform as it did on X58 or P55. Thats just the way it works sometimes.

I have 2 kits of Dominators collecting dust because they dont run high mhz on SB.

it is really as simple as that

like OC Nub said just grab some new memory, GSkill's work great on sb so check out some of their kits

I have two sets of GSkills. A set of trident 6Gb 1800 (off an x58 board) and ripjaw 2133 4 Gb which work fine on both my Gig P67 UD7 and P67 Mive. I'm not good at tuning memory so I just plugged them in at various benching times with no probs.

I switched memory from Dominator DDR3-2000 C9 to Vengeance DDR3-1600 C9 and the PC seems to run without any crash. So, the Dominator really isn't too compatible with this board, it seems. I should try to sell this memory...

I'll buy a 2600k that does 5GHz stable @ 1.40v any day... now where do you find that here in NL
Nice results Dumo...

[jcniest5]

Okay, can someone entertain my mind with vcore? My 2600K is running very stable at 4.6Ghz with 1.350v vcore. Now, from that speed to 5Ghz is like 400Mhz increase. Why can't it be stable with 5Ghz at 1.450V (a .100v increase)? Instead, it needs to go all the way to 1.550v to be stable? I bet it won't even be stable at 4.8Ghz with 1.450v either. Haven't tried it yet, but I don't think so. I'm confused on how much vcore each Mhz needs?

[B-Shot]

jcniest5 every sandy or (most cpu's) are all different in regards to voltage and MHz, some scale better than others, just the way it is in the overclocking world.
If you searched here on XS for sandys @5GHZ you will see that 90% of the voltages differ.

[OC Nub]

try posting all your settings, there is more to it than just adding vcore.

[jcniest5]

It seems to be stabilized a little now after I enabled Internal PLL Overvoltage, Spectrum to Disabled, Vcore Load-Line Calibration to 100%, Vcore Switching Freq to 350 and Vcore Phase Control to Extreme.

[sin0822]

you have to enable CPU PLL overvoltage to get stable at higher frequencies, usually 3-4X multis higher than without.

usually x5 more multi's with pll ov enabled

[jcniest5]

It seems it doesn't want to be completely stable with only 1.500v + PLL OV (has to be 1.550V+PLL OV) so I'm just going to be run it at stock until I have extreme cooling. It seems the H70 isn't enough to keep it cool.

[PatRaceTin]

even the same batch each cpus need different vcore
