a 2600K that can go 5.8GHz+ under subzero not necessarily can do 5Ghz stable on air/water with less than 1.395Vcore...and vice versa

Heres (4) 2600K samples from different batches/ Gigabyte UD7-B3 Single stage cooling @ -15C evap temp. idle...Lynx non avx

1st. cpu maxed @ 51X and 5140Mhz wall with 1.375Vcore bios LLC7 for 50x100BCLK
well done dumo.
but seriously u should try LinX/AVX on W7 SP1.

my chip is able to pass LinX/ non AVX on 5.0GHz @ 1.48v
whereas LinX/ AVX on 5.0GHz @ 1.54v

more heat is generated & core temps are increased 10C+.
CPU-Z power draw is increased from 130w+ to 150w+.
