Intel 4.5GHz & 5GHz LinX Stable Club

[PiLsY]

Got 4445 to pass last night @ 1.376v load indicated in cpuz. That took 1.5125v in bios with no LLC on. Having to use 22x multi as I cant go over 4300 and maintain bclk above 210. You're right man, 4500 will be right at the limit of what these chips can do. I think 23x multi would see me to 4500 on air, odd multi's clock higher and not pushing the bclk really helps core clock.

Having said that I am running the ram at 10x so 2000mhz+ @ 7-9-7-24-2T (g.skill eco). Had to drop to 4gb though as NONE of the cpu's I had would go stable over 4.1ghz with 8gb of ram no matter what voltage or bclk I tried. Below 4.1 was fine. Symptom was Linx just erroring at the end of every pass no matter what volts. 760 is still B1 step incase anyone was wondering. Booted right up on the non 760 bios, ran at 12x133 default, vid detected correctly but post screen listed as unknown cpu. Was 100% stable though. Upgraded bios to F10 anyway, but handy to know that you at least have a chance of completing a bios flash for full support if you cant pre-flash support.
