Personal Overclocking Records

[SammyG145]

So tonight I decied I want to see what my "ebay special" i7-3930K could do. The guy I bought it off said it was a pretty good overclocker. So I dived in both feet first, after a little time, many blue screens and a fair bit of head scratching I've managed to get this stable. 

 

 

For saying it's base clock is 3.3Ghz I think this is pretty good. The temps we're taken after I've left Folding At Home run for about an hour. That's about the hardest thing this PC does

 

Just wanting to see what you guys could get out of your CPUs and what's the highest ovc you've had personally.

4.6 isnt terribly uncommon with 3930K, 

 

still nice overclock and temps,

ooh an epeen thread!

In terms of stable clocks

 

2600K 4.7 @ 1.4v

 

a8 5600K 5ghz @ 1.42v (RIP)

 

sempron 145 (x2 4450e) 4ghz @ 1.465v

 

i3 550 4ghz 1.27v (stock)

 

4690k 4.7ghz 1.31v / 4.6ghz 1.25v <- daily driver

Thanks, I'm now thinking about upgrading my water cooling. The one 480mm radiator seems to be struggling a little.

Wow! They are crazy high. I would only ever get my old 2600k to around 4.1Ghz

isnt worth it, youd get better temps, but there is no thermal throtteling, so if its fails do complete a benchmarks with a higher clockspeed, the only thing you could do is add more voltage.

 

Temps arent a problem, but if you 'need' a reason to upgrade, lower temps cant to anything bad (except hurt your wallet)

wow, thats terrible for a sandy bridge processors, they are like the pinacle of intel overclocking

 

EDIT: damnit thought i was adding this to my previous post -.-

Damn that's one dud of a 2600k, my 5600k died today though which is a shame

I'd say wolfdale was myself

 

That was when you could oc cpus 50% plus easy  plus back then there was very little to seperate most cpus as they were dual cores so $80 dual core pentium oced = $200 cpu
