Higher Score

Disable Spread Sectrum in the BIOS to get your Bus Speed (Base Clock) to 100MHz and you might beat him.

Thanks. I knew I forgot something.

Gone to 5.3GHz, and now in the top 30.

These speeds are amazing! Like the look of the 2500k's running at 4.5GHz with ~1.3V, tempt's me more and more to get one when I build my rig, well, to overclock it when I get one!

It does vary depending on the chip but also quite heavily on how much stress the CPU is under. Running a 1m PI at 4.8Ghz will only bring my 2500k to 1.248-1.288v.

I'm bored. Time to see how low I can push the volts while still getting away with a 1m run at 4.8.

Edit: 1.192-1.232

Woohoo, first ever attempt at overclocking an i5.

Very happy withthe result so far, all I did was increase vcore and multiplier..

Now for a wee bit more reading and see where I can go from here!

Some advice, is the vcore pretty high for 5Ghz?

I would say yes. My run at 5GHz was 1.352v

If you're talking about minty then he would be much lower than second.

A bit extra for me, amazing what a bit of reading up can do!!

Although I was close to hitting 1.5vcore this time!!

Woohoo, top 50

Sampsy · 1 Mar 2012 at 01:25

Minty you *******

. I pretty much had to run in safe mode to get my time too.
