show your sandy bridge 24/7 clocks and volts

Today is a terrible day. For all those poor dogs locked in cars, for all those irritable children suffering in the heat, and of course, all our helpless little CPU's. Already subjected to having a current zapped through their rear-ends, they have to bear the stifling heat as a extra burden whilst they're already pushed to their limits in the majority of cases. And all we can do is direct a little fan over them, and pray they don't over heat.

Damn you sun and damn the extra 4 degreess you've put on top of my temps!
 
ok so now 4.5ghz stable

4.6 is going to require around 1.35 ish from my short experience with it

4.7 looked around 1.37 ish would be stable

not sure if i want to push these voltages 24/7 though(being a wimp because it's a brand new build)

there's a post on a forum where someone spoke directly to intel support and was told 1.52 is the max voltage for sb(i would never consider daily use anywhere near this), are overclockers being a bit paraniod with that thread you linked?

has 1.4v for 24/7 caused anybody issues?

That's what I run but I'm on high end water.

No one has had any issues and no one knows the safe volts. Its all just talk at the moment. Unlike earlier chip Intel have said a safe volts but not with these so far.

I think overclockers are just trying to stop everyone from popping there chips. Which is good in a way as we dont really want to do that. I would say 1.4 is fine for 24.7 most people are running them at that including me

I think 1.40v will be fine anyway but it depend on temperature on the cores really. If it was 1.40vcore and max temp below 72C, then it will be fine but like ocuk did metion once and again, safer vcore is between 1.35 up to 1.38. But, I rather stick mine below 1.35 for longer lifespan.

2600K / Sabertooth P67. I Use it everyday (for about the past 4 months), probably around 5 hours running cpu intensive music software and maybe 2 hours gaming. 5Ghz using 1.475 volts (sometimes jumps to ~ 1.49 with LLC) - completely stable. High end water cooled and I never see temps go above 70c, generally speaking 65 under load. It's not dead yet jim :-) but I'm sure a soothsayer will tell me it will be soon.

Your a brave man! :D

It's not so much that, it's my simple view that the K series are for pushing limits :)

LOL - Just read your sig.....you are the brave man with that H50 @ 5Ghz.

Ok you got me there lol ;)

They arn't that bad though, not seen it go above 70c yet @ 5Ghz

Nice clocking and great temps mate. No disrespect to the H50, I owned one but it died a sudden death when I had a fit of the 'Lets strip this down and improve on the idea' syndrome :)

I Need to work on lowering my volties !!!!

Thanks :)

Less volts would be nice but I imagine i7's with HT enabled need a fair bit more juice than an i5
 
doe3s anyone with an asus board know why ai suite shows cpu voltage as something completely different from load or idle when using offset? also happens in the bios

Ignore the vcore value in AiSuite when using Offset, it doesn't seem to tie in with the actual voltage.
Just use it for working out how much you need to add or subtract from your Offset in Bios.

yeah i assumed it was a bit iffy from the start
tempted to go for that 5ghz you got there but bit worried it may need pretty high volts
