OC Nub,very nice chip indeed.whats the batch number and vid?

[Jor3lBR]

Picked up an i3-530 today, seems to be a decent chip.

I'm very glad to see you're back at it my friend!

Impressive stable results with minimal volts as always

[OC Nub]

Thanks guys.

I had a lot of things that needed to be done around the house, basically the wife laid down the law. Hopefully she will be content for a while and let me play now.

batch# is 3943A849, bios shows vcore with auto settings~1.17v in hardware monitoring

Just picked up a i5 650 some time ago.. seems to be good so far...
Nice little chip this is.. boots into windows at 4.5Ghz at only 1.28V

OC Nub,yep,im thinking about grabing another 530 to play with on my UD7


Toolius,looks like another great chip.whats the batch number and vid?

How do you like that UD7 board radaja?
I am looking to get a new board soon, I enjoy overclocking on these p55 boards much more than the x58's.

[radaja]

i like it a lot so far,but i havent played with it much so im not
in a good position to rate it yet.but i will be testing it out this week
and finding out what it can do.i agree with you on the OCing with
these P55/H55's being funner than the X58.im going to see what my
new i7-870 will do on this board,so far i think i got a decent chip,
just did 20x200@4000 w/1.26v load.so hopefully i can get this chip
to do 4.5Ghz and higher

Thank you !
batch is L945B797
Vid - 1.12v
Normal Oc - 4.5 Ghz @ 1.28v
MB - Gigabyte - P55A - UD4P
Made - Malaysia
Cooler - Meghalem + 2x Silverstone Fm 121.

CPU: i5-650
Batch: L945B745
Made: MALAY
Vid: 1.12v
OC: 4.41Ghz 1.35v
mb: P7H55D-M EVO
hsf: Akasa Freedom Tower

Tried a mATX system this time and like it a lot. Nice with a small footprint system.

Have had a i860,i750,955be cpus and cant tell the difference in windows normal use against the i5-650 when overclocked.

Biggest performance up was the ssd disk.

[radaja]

Sommervery nice results.yea the microatx's are nice,especially when they can achieve big OC's
thanks for the info,you have been added.i wish everyone would give all the info
like you did.so i would have all the info needed,like below

CPU: i5-650
Batch: L945B745
Vid: 1.12v
High OC: 4.41Ghz 1.35v

edited my earlier post with all the relevant info too

Hi, new to this forum. More active over at [H]Forum.
Anyway, I'm just waiting on my second P55A-UD4P to arrive, so I can have fun with an i3 540/H50.

I'll edit this post with info once my UD4P gets here.
i3 540 Batch #3944B043

Thanks for getting me approved radaja.

Welcome to XS.

[Jocelyn84]

Thank you for the warm welcome Movieman

I've been messing around with this i3 540 and a P55A-UD4P for a few days, and I can hit 4.0 (200X20) X44 QPI with 1.186v/1.31vtt or 4.6 (200x23) x44 QPI with 1.376/1.33vtt. I messed around with a 210 BCLK for a little, but couldn't get it stable without going over 1.4v. I'm cooling with an H50, and selling this crummy OCZ ModX 700w, so I won't have a PSU until next Friday. I just picked up an HX850, which I realize will be incredibly overpowered for this system lol, but the price was just too good.

Anyway, I'll start posting some photos of stability testing when I get the new PSU and here's some chip info.

Jocelyn. it looks like that's the i3-540 that i sold you . 4.6ghz with only 1.37v looks pretty nice, i should have tested the chip before selling it haha. looking forward to see how far you can push that chip

[Jocelyn84]

Ahahaha, yeah I can't wait to get back to testing it. Anyway, I guess I better go leave you some heat

ive sold chips that i hadnt thoroughly tested and the new owner
starts posting awesome results,i had a i7-920 that i sold and now
wish i could find another,or get that one back

[OC Nub]

Hey radaja, did some testing on the i5-660 yesterday. Get your UD7 out, dont quit on Overclarking yet.

Load vcore at 4700 was 1.360-1.376, fell asleep in my chair and did not get a screen while it was running

@toolius, you need to edit your picture before upload it. we don't need to your blank screen we only need to see the number.
nice job OC Nub

[radaja]

nice OC!!OC Nub,wow that chip is nice 5.0GHz w/1.53v.very very nice indeed.is this the same chip you had?

[OC Nub]

^^Thank you.

Yes its the same chip, I was using the 26multi or Turbo set to enabled. Then I tried disabling it and using the 25 multi, it did much better, less vcore required for the same clocks.
