What is your 24/7 Sandy BRIDGE voltage?

[JBod]

Not the volts you put through for the head line grabbing benchie.. but your 24/7 volts?

I understand that there is more danger with these chips then previous years with high volts no matter how cool you keep it.

Mine is arriving next week and I am usually on the "barking nuts" side of the fence when it comes to volts - been shoveling 1.55v through my E6600 for last 4 years or so under a closed loop water system.

I wonder if a poll can be setup with sensible brackets for voting?
1.2-1.3
1.3-1.4
1.4-1.5

Or something?

Running at 4.4GHz

Bios: 1.275

CPU-Z Idle: 1.288
CPU-Z Load: 1.304

Only running at 4.4GHz as theres something wrong with this board (MSI P67A C45) and it randomly undervolts hugely during idle and BSOD's. The chip's capable of 4.4GHz with 1.24 under load but keep it high due to the undervolting issue.

Was running at 4.7GHz at 1.33 under load, but had to push a bit harder for 4.8GHz so am considering dropping back again.

This is my first time ever overclocking so I don't want to mess anything up.

All you guys that have got a 2500k and clocked it to 4.8Ghz, how did you do that?

I just have a regular Intel CPU cooler, are there any good value CPU coolers out there that would enable me to push my system to 4.8Ghz 24/7 stable?

That seems like a good price, any idea what speed I could hit with that?

Having not owned one, just going off what i've seen i'd say atlest 4.6Ghz. The SB chips run cool and the limiting factor will be Voltage more likely that temps.

[SimonMaltby]

i7 2600K 4.8GHz +0.135 in bios = 1.344v Max (CPUz) 1.104v Idle (i.e. @ 1.6GHz)

 

[Shetlander]

i2500k @ 4.5Ghz

Voltage on auto with offset at + 0.020 and LLC at extreme. 1.352v under 100% load.

 

[Br4d]

i7 2600k @ 4Ghz "Normal" volts Stable +0.00 Offset.

 

[Yoga]

Experimenting with Offset mode, as I found it pointless being at 1.35v when idling at 1.6Ghz

4.4Ghz (Prime95 stable - 9 tests) for 24/7 use.

Idle: 0.890v
Load: 1.35v

edited the thread title.

not really appropriate is it?

Temps? Tempted to push to 1.38v for a similar clock.

1.33v in bios 1.34v CPU_Z 1.35v underload LLC = 2 on auto

@ turbo boost

 

[gcaster]

Getting some pretty high voltages here for 24/7 clock speeds.
Surely the higher the voltage the lower the lifespan of the CPU?
