[AwardFabrik] SandyBridge 2600K @5589 MHZ - first run air & compressorcooled

[skeyo]

Congratz for killing your CPU \o/

[SoF]

tested my 2nd good cpu and it did 5.53 on singlestage - but I matched stuwi's wprime32 at less MHZ HAHA

[Johnny87au]

wow SOF, u can run that @ 24/7 usage, such low voltage!

[Ccaution]

Jesus SoF, is that cpuz vcore reporting correct?

Grats mate - do I see a 5590 32MB on the desktop ?

[SoF]

this one runs a bit colder but can't to 5578 booting - good allday chip but nothing for benching all night long - currently i am testin my other one again...2 days I said until crackin' stuwi's 32m -.-
voltages are always ok fyi!

[DomagojX]

anyone tryed running 3dmark06 with HT??
I haven't seen no results so I'm just curious

[Chri$ch]

yeah, but it is with aircooling and win7

[MaJ0r]

DomagojX SoF tried and as you can see 2600k beat easily 980x at the same clock http://hwbot.org/community/submissio...80_38624_marks

[aslanwas]

that's a huge chip on air! WOW! Thanks for reviewing

There you go 38624 with 480 GTX GPU on stock AIR - I was really stunned how well it performed

[DomagojX]

This is really awesome

[Johnny87au]

1.6v be careful!

[mAlkAv!An]

Should be alright with SS cooling. GTX480 is the one which runs with air cooling

[SoF]

Yeah I can say 1.6V on singlestage is safe for benching 01-06 as well as of course 1m, 32m, pifast and wprime32m. Been testing for some days now and no issues so far.
For Vantage and wprime1024 I usually go down to around 1.55-1.58 just to be sure.

Also some hints collected for the single stage benchers:

- at the very beginning (first turning on ss and waiting until ~-40°C) the CPU might be very unpredictable --> don't get in a hurry then, let it idle in bios for 1-2 minutes, and then boot from the bios with previously applied settings --> should boot then
- maybe you face lock-ups with "63" "78" or "20" on the postcode --> check your rams / vccsa then --> even the cpu does 1866 or 2133 ram on air, maybe it won't under ss (unfortunatly that is one of my biggest problems)
- usually the border between boot and no boot / hard mhz wall is just 0.1 MHZ bclk speed --> it is not directly related to how high your multiplier goes
+ e.g. : 55x100 = boot and all benches | then 56x100 = freeze during windows bootscreen (typical -> best way to test is xp loading bar) | then 56x99 = boot | 59x99.5=boot | 59x99.9 = freeze | 59x99.8 = boot and most benches = absolut max without any new tweaks in bios

SoF

batch of your 2 cpus please.

thanks

[SoF]

Batch of all 2600K I had: L040B165

btw: 6.640s with new windows still on the run -.-

[Hondacity]

same batch like chrisch

thanks

[SoF]

and same as stummerwinter - we bought the chips together and got all the same batch

[DeViTTo]

Just recieved mine in the UK same batch hopefully clocks the same Good job though SoF

5100 MHZ 2600 K, Air cooler
Msi P67-A GD65
Msi R 5870 : 1010 / 1305 Mhz

3dm2001 Test 95k





SP1M 7.297s 5100 Mhz

[zalbard]

NO,I want RMA! This cpu dead AIR VCORE 1.72

So... 1.72V, dead within days...
1.6V - weeks?
1.5V - months?
1.4V - year(s)?
For Air cooling, obviously. Just speculating...

Don't speculate Youa re about to launch a big snowball effect again... sorry but 1.72Vcore on air is just too much...

For 24/7 users 1.4ish seems okay with a decent cooler. I'm getting 70ish degrees during prime at 4.5 1.29Vcore with a TRUE (single fan)... seems my sweetspot for this 2600K... during gaming it hardly breaches 55°C... pretty safe ( I hope :p)

The problem is, a lot of people seem to think that 1.5-1.55V 24/7 is perfectly safe and fine. I think not.
And what do you mean by saying again?!

[Pt1t]

Just first 32M on air ... and cpu can do it at +5550Mhz

[MaJ0r]

Pt1t nice try! Push sub 6min )
