Best 6700k ever..?

[LIGISTX]

My buddy recently decided to bail on PCMR, I picked up his PC for the biggest steal in history. #besttradedealinthehistoryoftheworld status. 6700k, Maximus VIII GENE, 32 GB Corsair 2400, 512 950 Pro NVME, GTX 1070, rm650i, 650D, AND a Predator for XB271HU for 700 dollars..................................

Anyways, gloating about that deal over, I have swapped some parts into my main PC, coming from a delid 4770k, and finally got around to overclocking it. So far, I am pretty much 100% confused by this CPU. It has never crashed from a torture test yet, and today while I was at work it passed 8 hours of ASUS Real Bench set to use 32 GB of RAM, clock speed of 4.7GHz, RAM @ 2400 which is 4 dimms at 8 GB each, cache is set to 41, and vcore of 1.260. That is all I have changed in the BIOS, and under load it jumps up a touch over 1.260 to 1.264.

 

I have got a bit of data from overclock.net and that is what is being refered to from here on. That thread is pretty dead, so maybe there will be more action here?

...Is this even possible...? According to the scatter chart in the beginning of this thread, there is no datapoint below 1.3v @ 4.7 Ghz.
Temps are in the mid 60's under Asus Real Bench, a few spikes to the 70's momentarily, so temps are well under control. After reading the beginning of the thread it looks like the x264 stress test is the best choice, but in today's day and age of inserting mining code into EVERYTHING, I am not so sure I want to download a random exe :/, but it appears as though x264 and Real Bench are both "medium hard". I guess I could hit it with some P95 and see what it does? I am really at a loss. 8 hours of RB at 4.5 GHz, then 8 hours at 4.6 Ghz, then another 8 @ 4.7 just trying to find the point at which it will crash at 1.260v (1.264 after vdroop compensation under load). 

Any thoughts!?!?!?!

 

Included scatter plot is from overclock.net, the red dot is where my chip would fall. The only thing I can think of is my low RAM speed. No one in their data has 2400 RAM, most are 2800 or 3200 and I know RAM speed has a big impact on overclock-ability. But, this much?!?!?

have fun my 3770k uses 1.3v at 4.1ghz..

[TheGlenlivet]

Very Possible.  Bump it to 5GHZ!

I have a delidded 7700K (6700K older Bro) at 4.8 and 1.3v.  You got a good chip.  Enjoy.

I can put my input in here, my old 6700k could do 4.7ghz at 1.13v (stock) and it never failed a torture test.

 

If I had it today I could probably have pushed it over 5ghz, an h60 could only take it so far

[Jurrunio]

Give Aida64 a try

 

If you have a chip that good, I would really go balls out for a 360mm liquid aio cooler... Just sayin'

[Oberon.Smite]

Nice. I just got serious about overclocking recently, was able to get to 4.8Ghz 1.35V on my 6600k. I want to push it further but at 4.8Ghz I go up to 96C. Waiting until I get my AiO in the mail to try for 5Ghz!

[Clyne]

Not bad range, usually it's around 1.35V for 4.7GHZ.

Currently doing 1.37V 5.1GHZ 7700K delidded, I suggest delidding to get the most out of your chip.

Yea it looks like it so far...

Thats pretty insane. That is like my old i7 920, at UNDER stock volts I was able to push it from 2.66 to 3.82 GHz for 4-5 years without a single issue. That chip was a baller. Wouldn't go any hire no matter what volts I gave it, but holy shit man, that was a ballin chip. Still have it, but simply for sentimental value/open bench test setup.

Yea, I did let it run through Aida at 4.5 Ghz a few days ago before I pushed to 4.6 then 4.7, it passed 18 hours worth at 4.5....

And read my sig, I am on a 280 and a 240 rad, and the 280 rad is stupid thick, about as thick as two fans. My entire system runs cool and completely quiet. Under game load I can't hear it as no fan spin over about 850 RPM so the game music easily overpowers the fans, and GPU stays under ~55c and CPU usually is about the same.

Nice man, good luck!

Yea, I have a delid tool I had 3dprinted and did my 4770k, but that was mostly because my 4770k was garbage. It ran WAY more hot then this guy does. The 4770k was a pretty crap overclocker tbh. That was not a silicon lottery winner.

 

Also just FYI to everyone, I tried Prime95 just now, whatever the newest version on their website is, it crashed pretty quick. But I feel like that is almost expected.... Thoughts? IS P95 really just to much from them these days? Or does that show I have stability issues? I even bumped the volts to 1.3 and it crashed. Maybe I am not actually stable? Although it passed 8 hours of RealBench. I suppose I can give Aida a try and see how it fairs overnight.

something something turn down the AVX multiplier or something in the BIOS

Wait, what is that? I have never heard of an AVX multiplier.

AVX offset. It'll slow down your CPU when an AVX load is detected. Usually it'll be able to pass any stress but AVX because AVX stresses it out too much, but at a lower clockspeed then it'll be fine. 

 

Its not on my BIOS so I dunno what it's called but googling asus AVX offset is what I found the name to be.
