SandyBridge breaks 5.6 GHZ and does benches a bit below...

[SoF]

Hey,

we have had rumors, reviews, availability announcements and everything about SandyBridge here, but not yet the current standings of clockspeeds. So here we go now 1 day after official release we see near 5.6 GHZ on that chip benching

And there we have 5600 MHZ by Clunk cpuz valid - great job dude!!!



I am a bit behind with currently 5595 MHZ but 2 cores



2600K @ 5595 MHZ validation link

I simply like SandyBridge for everything it can do - close to 13s pifast is insane as well as the 1m times you get out of it easy. I am pretty sure there is some more potential that can be unlocked. as we all know "internal pll overvoltage" was the only thing holding us back at the very beginning. I am pretty wondering that not a single mfc has checked what voltages are actually applied and if higher ones can get us even further - we need more infos about that function and how to use it properly, I am sure I have some more room on my chip to go for sub 13s pifast
