** OFFICIAL ** Core i5 Overclocking Results/Tips Thread

I'm using the evga P55 FTW. There's not much to it, just a little vcore and some vtt. It needed 1.425v VTT to boot at 4.6ghz and 1.375 vtt to boot at 4.3ghz.

For 4.0ghz it only needs 1.26v vcore to be stable. Maybe I have a decent chip?

Looks like you have a nice chip! Can you post a screen shot of your ELeet voltage tab showing your 4.0 stable overclock voltages settings? I'm having trouble getting my i5 fully prime stable and always seem to get an error on one thread/core. Is it 1.26v load while stress testing? What batch# is your i5? More please.

I don't have any screen shots of 4.0ghz. There is only one, but I'm not sure if it was stable or not. I didn't spend too much time at 4.0ghz, I just got it stable then kept going. I have some of 4.2ghz, 4.24, and 4.3ghz. I've never bothered to mess around with the Eleet thing, so I don't have it in any of my screen shots.

My batch# is L924B521

Thanks. You should check out the ELeet. It is very handy for monitoring and overclocking right from windows and it saves time rebooting when your fine tuning your overclock.
