At 5.3GHz you most certainly can!

Hi 1Day

Just a one off. I've settled for 4.5 GHz for daily use and 4.8 GHz for random gaming. Both OC has been stable since yesterday with no lock-up, BSOD's or cold boot issue ussing bios 1204. ;)

Done 8 hrs prime, 20 runs IBT and Linx on both.

Cheers and thanks.

PS
My cousin wants to buy the whole rig off me and i'm thinking about it. :D

Pretty good going. Hope your cousin wants to pay your a whole heap of money. :D:D
 
The idea was that to join, was a challenge, but not too difficult to put people off.
I also order the results by the super-Pi score, so 5GHz is just to get in... it's still worth making the effort to move up the ladder :)

Remember that when I set the challenge the Bioses did not have PLL Overvoltage and before that change 5GHz was actually very difficult.

I'm sure some people will still disagree and be finding 5GHz quite a challenge.
 
It's certainly not that easy with a 2500k. Not whilst staying below the 1.4V vcore guideline anyway.
I'm still tempted to try and top the 2500k list but I'd probably want to cry if I fried the chip and couldn't afford the downtime waiting for an RMA.

You guys should run IBT custom ram 8 threads 50x

This man speaks the truth.

If people want to run sandy bridge@5Ghz stable, then they should use IBT with 4 threads for i5 2500k and 8 threads for i7 2600k manually set with custom stress level and choosing 'free' memory from windows task manager and then run the program for 50 passes. Check your GFlops values and coretemps;)

Just wondering what clocks are IBT load temp 24/7 liveable like under 80c IBT load temp.
Might go for a second hand i5 750 (if the price drops below £100) if these sandybridge are like 4.5 ghz 24/7 liveable.

There is a world of difference between getting a headline MHz with Super-Pi 1M score against a test where the machine is stable. the danger with pushing for a stable IBT overclock is that people will put extreme stress on thier components for a period of time that is not really sensible.

Personally, with my 2600K, I'm happy to run 1.5v and get a headline number if it means running the machine at that voltage for 10-20 minutes, but I would not run at that voltage or speed for hours. My happy balance is 4.8GHz at 1.35v for long term use and extended benchmarks.

As I said in the first post, we could have a Prime95 or other serious test as another thread, but thats not what this one is for... its supost to be fun and with fairly low risk.

Enjoy it for what it is.... and start another thread for a stable test if you want to.

Bios 1090 for Maximus IV Extreme? The latest on the ASUS website is 0901 :(

Also is there any way you could share your settings for that? I haven't started overclocking my SB yet and would appreciate something to compare against.

Thanks!
