Bloomfield 'best cherry chip' by rjk

I had set up an overclocked bundle 4.20GHz with a cherry picked by rjk back in 2008 (even a crazy cherry chip was clocked 4.20GHz at just 1.264v on full load)

It been stable over 35 hours and was stable over the years with no BSD. The bundle I had set up with the corsair memory ram (triple channels) and mega air cooler with temp of no more than 75C.

Vcore set at the bios 1.325v
Idle at windows 1.296v
Full load prime95 1.264v

Many thanks to rjk for excellent cherry chip and I did push it to 4.5GHz at 1.35v under load. Will be excellent with custom water cooling as it might do 4.7GHz possible.

Saul, Many thanks but unfortunately not every chip can do the same as my chip as my chip is ridiculous crazy low voltage! It was picked cherry chip by ocuk guy rjk in 2008. I will never sold this cpu chip ever. Doing so well over 4 years now.

I got other sandybridge also overclocked 5GHz at 1.38v under load. See below:

It would be very hard to get 4.7GHz as you'll need a BCLK of 220MHz+ which is highly dependent on how good your motherboard is.

Yeah very true indeed! Need a very good top of the range motherboard but it no point to buy it as long it was fine up to 4.5GHz

Yeah 45nm is quite strong chip but I do feel ivybridge 22nm won't last forever (probably less than 3 years due to heat problem) Bloomfield and q6600 are very good cpu, quite strong! I sold my q6600 to my friend Tim, and he still using it, I think q6600 is probably 8 years old now whille my bloomfield i7 920 D0 is 4 years old except my sandybridge is less than 12 months at the moment.
