Can anyone recommend any settings to alter to get the 5000MHZ figure. I can managed 4960MHZ @1.44V

After some tweaking....5GHZ

Well crashed at 1.42v while install 3Dmark, so upped to 1.44V

I need to push more, probably 1.455V and I don't feel safe doing that. I'm impressed though. When I get to the physics test in 3Dmark, it runs it about halfway then crashes, that's why am sure if it give it more juice it will work.
 
Is it stable at 4900 ? If so I would settle for that if voltage requirement is crazy beyond that.

Also... on a completely selfish note: What do you think of the H110i GTX ? I'm extremely tempted to get one.
 
Yeah dude, currently am running 4.8ghz at 1.35V fully stable. At 4.9ghz it needs 1.38V. I was just seeing how far I could push it. LLC is always set at 6.

The 110igtx is a awsome cooler mate, really the best I've had out of all the hydro series...I've had the h100i h100gt. The only problem I've found with it is if the fans spin up even on medium they are loud.

Nice. I take it the heat generated at 1.45v on SL is similar to the heat generated by haswell at 1.3v?

Because if it was haswell at 1.45v that would be a LOT of heat. :D

Yeah roughly...my 4790K at 4.9GHZ, at 1.38V if I remember right was producing similar heat. However skylake cpu's are not only effected by voltage, but by temps as well, or that's what am lead to believe.
 
I completely get the desire to get 5Ghz btw and I do wish you the best to get there!! Normally there does however come a point where the the need for extra volts/heat is so much compared to the performance gain that it is barely worth it. Will be exciting to see if you can get it stable.

Also, thanks for the feedback on the H110i GTX really appreciated!
 
Well I was happy with the stability I got, playing games, watching videos and realbench stress testing. I mean it's true, it's not really the best stability test, ideally need to stress test it in aida64 realbench for 24 hours. However I just wanted to see if I could hit the 5GHZ mark and actually have it so it's useable. I wouldn't leave my voltages that high and stress test for 24hours am more than happy at 4.8GHZ. I guess you can say it was a challenge I set myself. Plus I thought if I had invested in the components that I have, I might aswell push the limit slightly.

You're welcome :)

If it was me, I wouldn't be happy saying an overclock is stable just by booting, it needs to be stress tested.

I have done much more than boot fella. I have stress tested it, and carried out normal activities that I do on the computer. Have a look at the video. I agree however a much longer stability test is required before saying it's 100% stable.

Fair enough I didn't see that you'd already stress tested :)
 
Your going to see very little performance gains from an extra 200jiggahertz in actual real life performance. Think long term if you are planning on keeping the system.

Push for 5ghz, get your benchmarks etc, then clock down to something reasonable for 24/7 use - each cpu has a point where the jump in voltage required gets much higher for overclocking - its at this point you should stop (if you care about your cpu that is lol!, as most overclocks degrade over time.

For example:

4.5Ghz - 1.3v
4.6Ghz - 1.32v
4.7Ghz - 1.4v
4.8Ghz - 1.45v

Personally I would clock back to 4.6Ghz - it'll more than do you unless your e-peen isn't happy ;)

Anyways - whats the standard tool to stress test these new skylake cpu's? - I read somewhere IBT and Prime95 aren't suitable for stress testing these? - slightly worrying as its shows stable software is no longer suitable for these new chips.....
 
Realbench is popular.

It's not so much that they are not stable enough to complete prime, they just get silly hot and it's not worth doing it to them.
 
Yeah precisely, that's why I have gone back to 4.8GHZ at 1.36V. Like I said previously am more than happy at this speed, and very unlikely to see significant gains with the extra 200MHZ, but it was just to find out how well my cpu does in the silicon lottery and also how good my setup is...eg motherboard, ram etc. I was never intending to go for 24/7 5GHZ overclock, as you say it will degrade much quicker. I can get 4.9GHZ at 1.38V and I refuse to have it set at that to keep the cpu healthy.

Realbench, Aida64 and XTU are my personal choice.
 
Nice :)

I'm hoping to get 5GHz stable for my new build... with a custom watercooling loop... 1x 360x60 rad and 1x 280x35 rad to cool the CPU and 1x Titan X.
