Yeah me neither, going to stick with the XMP timings for now, which are good anyway really.

SuperPI 1.9 1M calculation @5.0GHz: 7.547s (never run before so nothing to compare to, is this score ok?)

I'm running at 1.460v now, gonna set prime going for a few hours to see if its stable here

i would test my 2550k on super pi @5ghz but 10c outside is a bit too warm . i have run cinebench r15 @5ghz though if you want to compare that.

i've found my super pi that i did at 4.925ghz

Just ran a 7.470s 1m time at 5.05GHz That'll do for me

You would be 429th on HWBOT with that score

Reading this thread makes me want better cooling

What cooler have you got? I did 5ghz on stock cooler with the window open and an ambient temperature of 8c

bainbridge · 13 Dec 2013 at 00:22

As per sig a Corsair A50 budget cooler. Current overclock 70c at full load.

Whats the highest anyone has ever got on a 2500K? (Not including ln2). I tried for 5.2GHz tonight but no joy getting into windows!

I got to 5 where I knew I could boot and upped the BCLK for a fraction more.
I think I'm on the wall here though, it takes 0.07v more at5 than it does at 4.9 so I would imagine 5.1/5.2 will need well over 1.5v

You could look on hwbot i think its around 5.6ghz.

Good god man how many volts are you pushing into the poor thing?

Nearly there, under 7 seconds is rapid

He's got to be nearing 1.6v now!

WalderX · 13 Dec 2013 at 18:28

Hehe I've seen mine peak past 1.6v when leaving the core voltage on auto - I've never closed a program faster in my life! (Prime95)

NoNameNoNumber · 13 Dec 2013 at 18:43

6.850s now at 5.45 GHz

I daren't show you the voltage. I poo'd my self when I loaded CPU-z up! For whatever reason the bios is always way under what CPU-z is showing.

1.560v with step 7 LLC

did you open any temp monitors? that is a very decent time there

also you should take a screen shot and upload it http://hwbot.org/submit/benchmark/superpi_-_1m/
you would nearly be in the top 200!
this is the highest score on air http://hwbot.org/submission/2351515_.fx_superpi___1m_core_i5_2500k_6sec_343ms
