Curious about i5 2500k quality.

[Jessibelle]

Hey,

 

I'm just OC'ing my i5 2500k after a fresh install and I wondered how well mine seems to be roughly stacking up.

 

I thought I might be able to get a 4.8ghz over clock but the only way that could remain stable for 15 minutes+ was at 1.330 vcore with my temperatures up into the 90's so given up on that.

 

Currently dialing in my 4.7 ghz clock and its been stable for 20 minutes at 1.300 vcore (which hovers between the values of "1.312 and 1.320" on cpu-z) at a max of 74C peak on the hottest core) so while I wait for it to test over the next several hours I wondered if I got lucky in the silicon lottery.

 

Edit: 1.300 crashed, moving onto 1.305.

 

What kind of vcore are people running for 4.7 and 4.8?

 

Thanks

Jess

That's average, nothing amazing. I'm surprised how much higher you temps got when trying for 4.8Ghz.

[Jessibelle]

I was assuming average, but thanks for satisfying my curiosity =)

 

 

Edit: 1.300 finally crashed after 20 minutes. Just went I was begining to get false hope...only 1.305 lol

Can you go for 1.3V on 4.8? That seems great on 4.7. lol nvm.

Ill be trying 4.8 on 1.3V later for my 3770K.

[Jessibelle]

Good luck with it. Hope you do better in the silicon lottery than I did lol.

Sandy is know for high oc's.

That is a pretty healthy overclock. 4.7-4.8 is near the top range of what people are getting at all (5.0Ghz is basically the maximum). A lot of people have chips that wont do much better than 4.5-4.6 so you have a reasonable chip.

What are you cooling it with?

what cooling method and what are you using for LLC (line calibration)?

 

4.8 is usually 1.325-1.355vCore (so you are not far off). D14 and H100 temps ok.

custom CPU (240x60) loop would be around 60°-63°.

sandy bridge can take the voltage. no more than 1.45vCore for 24/7, but 1.350vCore

for a safe voltage max is fine, not that much difference for benching .2-.4GHz, e-peen.

Now I'm a little jealous, I can barely get 4.6 but then again this is my first overclocking chip.

[harrynowl]

I run 1.425V for 4.8, can do 4.9 at 1.46v. 1.4v for 4.7 on my 2600k.

 

Temps around 70-80 (sensors jump a bit).

 

Seems like a decent enough chip maybe with better cooling you'll get it to run better!

what are you using to cool it? i'm @5ghz on 1.38v on air with temps around low 70's 

[PingPangbv]

I ran a 2500k a while back. My chip needed 1,35V to stay at 4,7GHz. However mine would also stay at 5GHz if I ran it at 1,48V rock solid. But then again the chip got very toasty as a result so I backed down the clock a bit
