5.5ghz 24/7 Stable Ivy Inside!!!

8 Pack · 19 Jan 2013 at 16:33

Here you go guys.This could easily be used 24/7 for whatever the user desires!!!!. HT is off as I am testing for a specific reason that does not benefit from having HT on. I did briefly test with HT on and its equally as stable.

5.5 goodness!! DDR is nearly 2600 mhz too with BLK of 107.9! the IMC is strong in this one!!

Prime!!!!

AIDA 64

Comments and questions fire away!!!

Now that's a package I would buy!

Drooooool!!!!

Joking... That's a crazy high overclock on both RAM and CPU. Jeeeeezz. :eek:

chrisoverson · 19 Jan 2013 at 18:13

Impressive!

What kind of cooling are you using on that if I may ask?

Also, is that on the Asus Z77 Maximus V Extreme that you mentioned before? Thanks!

illuz · 19 Jan 2013 at 19:38

Yeah is this on air?!

Edit - that's a high voltage, is that safe for 24/7 use?

nah gotta be chilled water looking at those temps.

I'd say chilled water too, running around 30c under load.

Think you'll squeeze even more out with -100c?

very nice!

I'm sure he could, but not 24/7 very easily

Board is ASUS Maximus V Formula, I wont be trying the chip at -100 sadly as its for a client and I don't want to risk breaking it. It will probably do 6.3ghz -6.4ghz -100.

Hi 8 Pack, I have this board along with an i5 3570k i was wondering what the best CPU cooler would be for getting the best overclock for my chip?
I am still on the stock cooler, but unsure which route to go down, water or air.
I was reccommended these for air cooling becuase of the high profile Corsair Dominator Platinum Ram

But would a custom loop something like the ones below be better to get me started then gradually build up to a better one bit by bit?

Is that on chilled water, cascade or..?

*edit* looked at temps. Guessing chilled water

The top air coolers are the Phanteks TC14PE, The Noctua NH D14, K2 and i would say the megahelams is up there aswell.. Though these are outshined by the H100.

As for custom loops look at 8-packs H100 Vs £130 custom loop review:

That's brilliant thanks for the link, custom loop it is!

The custom loop is twice the price for a 7°C or 100MHz difference.

Really?

sam690 · 20 Jan 2013 at 14:34

Well.. It looks a lot nicer and i can change the liquid to red to match my mobo so it has that advantage over the closed loop. Then I can upgrade it and add parts onto it in the long term which will decrease temps further? Where as the closed loop isn't going to improve much from when you buy it from what i've read.

8 Pack · 20 Jan 2013 at 14:36

Custom loop is the way forward for the endless upgrade capabilities amd with each upgrade better performance.

Fair enough. I prefer sealed loops because of the low effort and low maintenance.

(and because i'm poor)

I hear your points
