620 original fusion waterblock...1.63v stable...54c nb loaded

625 enzotech waterblock 1.65v 25c nb loaded...

Pretty strong board, 625MHz FSB with 4GB Hyper is nice.

I can't use more than 1.57V Vnb unfornately, since I'm on air and when the NB temps exceed 55°C 32M will crash.

[Hondacity]

thanks... not sure if my nb or cpu is limiting me to around 625...

who else is submitting stage3 scores? henybody?

[Splave]

Im going to try non hypers but my NB on stock cooling is probably whats crashing pi right at loop2 every time

build a mound of eraser around that NB and just give it a splash of ln2 every now and then.

i hope people will submit 03 scores...hehehe

switching to p68 now....stage 5....

[Splave]

upgraded my nb cooling and same wall....set titty twister to lighter and seems to be passing 595 now lol

I'm on SS stuck at 5.1ghz though trying different things.... Gets nice scores already but I wish it'd do 5.4ghz+ here!
I think I'll still be over 100k in '01.
Hope you get a good score.

cpu ll overide enabled.

max 1.7 vcore.

max 2.1 pll.

thats about all there is to sandy.

if lower than 0c might want to tone down ram clocks.....


Froze my ram the other day, figured what the heck froze them for another 24/7, back to life now, least i was able to put up some decent ht clocks now.

[Linuxfan]

Thanks Brian.
No matter what settings this 2600K ain't going over 5.11ghz.

[Linuxfan]

Ordered an Asus P8P67 Pro motherboard and another new 2600K chip. Time to test another Sandy Bridge...

[G.Foyle]

Time to change your user title to "LGA1155 addicted"

[MTP04]

Sucks to hear your stuck at 5.1ghz Linux. I have the Asus P67 Pro and its been a solid board to bench so far. Hope your next chip is better.

Yeah I guess I am addicted to Sandy now.
Me too but we'll see... If not I'm going to keep going through 'em...
I'm going to go through as many as it takes to get 5.5ghz and hopefully more...

Edit: Just saw that the dude Stepnoz got a 5.7ghz SB too..... They are becoming more commonplace then...
Change that statement, I'm going to keep binning these CPUs until I get 5.65ghz+, I think its a realistic goal.

Today we get SB scores from me, another 32M from NameGT, and SteveRo.
Too bad we're all below 5.5... May we all find better chips.
Nice work with the clocks you guys got!

Is there truth in this that we haven't found some special settings for a good 5.5ghz CPU that seems locked and therefore those voltage settings isn't all there is to Sandy?

Actually there are a few chips doing 6GHz now, you have to play with the skews and PLL to fine tune it in, also temp is critical, some CPUs with the new BIOS will easily hit 5.8 but sometimes at -80C and others at -96C, it just requires a lot of tuning up top.

Possible.

I'm just going by my very limited experince and also by wht I was told by intel at CES.

[Don_Dan]

Actually, a lower Vpll might be worth a try.
Did you guys play with Vccsa as well?

[Splave]

nice 32m times all around guys

i am stuck at 52x, what does the ud5 call Vccsa?

[MTP04]

Increasing Vcore and enabling "cpu pll override" got me to 5.5ghz. With cpu pll override disabled I was stuck at 5.1ghz. No other voltage adjustment helped to increase cpu clocks and that includes PLL(mines set to 1.7v) but Vccsa seems to help with ram clocking. It just comes down to the quality of the chip.

[ZenEffect]

time to join the party. sandy parts inbound.

Exactly. I enabled the PLL overvoltage but 5.1 was all this CPU does. It does 51x multi and 100bclk or 50x multi and 102.5bclk but that was the limit.

Splave, you got a 11M 32M this weekend?

Vccsa is System Agent voltage, at least in Easytune.

SoF was playing with it a bit and it helped him go from 54x103.5 to 55x100+ ( booting 55 multi ), memory at 2133 divider. It's depending a lot on memory frequency it seems, according to him at Vccsa >1.08V it would boot, while at 1.15V it wouldn't boot at all, stability was best somewhere in between. At 0.95V ( stock, right? ) he encountered some strange boot loops.
Just thought it might help one of you guys!

2600K L042B215 just arrived.

[SteveRo]

I also picked up two new chips from microcenter yesterday -
2600K - L042B208
2500K - L041C123

Also picked up an asus p8p67 pro just to have a 2nd mobo if needed
