Man, OCing these 2600k's are alot different than the 45nm Wolfdales I'm use to!

So here is where I'm at so far...F5 BIOS and I'm relying on the SVID and VRD12 system to work like it should. I have all of the following either off or disabled -- XMP, Real Time Ratio Change in OS, Turbo Boost, C1E, C3/C6, EIST, LLC. Internal PLL Voltage is enabled, HT On, DRAM at 1.60v and all other volts an Auto.

With this my voltages set for me by SVID (Auto CPU Vcore) it works out to this (Multi / BIOS / CPU-Z idle / CPU-Z load):

34x / 1.200 / 1.176 / 1.176 / ?
38x / 1.315 / 1.284 / 1.284 / ?
40x / 1.320 / 1.284 / 1.284 / ?
45x / 1.340 / 1.308 / 1.308 /1.248-1.260 (Prime/LinX Stable) highest core temp 58C (25C ambient)
50x / 1.360 / 1.332 / 1.332 / 1.320 (Prime Crashes)

The highest I tried/dared myself to boot at with with manual Vcore was 52x, LLC On with 1.425 BIOS and I got into Windows, idle was 1.416, passed 32M Super PI (6m48.141s) but crashed system instantly in Prime.

Now, is it worth trying to see what my highest boot into Windows multi is just for kicks? I'm comfortable with a 4.5GHz 24/7 cruncher now, but 5.0GHz would be nice!

Also, anyone here running a 5.0GHz 24/7 with C1E, C3/C6, and EIST enabled? With or without LLC?

Thanks!
