Dear 8 pack : BCLK overclock + limited unlock

Subliminal Aura · 10 Jan 2013 at 12:15

Computer says YES
Everyone else says NO

What components are most at risk from your experience and what can I do to limit the impact if possible.

Current state of play:
CPUs being used - i7 2600 and e3-1245v2
Both happily accept the limited 4 bin (400mhz) turbo boost and I tried a 102.5 bclk oc yielding good results.... 15k Fritz and sub 9s super-pi but I want MOAR

What say you Sir !

I say yeah man!!!

BLK clocking on SB is good upto about 104 without problems.

You can use BLK to drain every last bit out of CPU, memory, Graphics and all associated buses. Keep within the parameter suggested here and I have never seen any problems with my own rigs and the literally hundreds of Sandy I have clocked.

Good to about 107 on Air 112 on Cold!!!

Is that for benching though?? What about 24/7?

8 Pack · 13 Jan 2013 at 16:24

24/7 I use around 104 but you must test.

I've been running 103 BLCK on my 2600k for over 6 months. Had absolutely no issues what so ever. Plus, it didn't require a Vcore boost to remain stable.

^^^ this will give you a performance boost for sure.

I went to 104.5, I iz scared of corrupting my hard drives

I really want to go to 107 - No go I suppose ?

8 Pack · 18 Jan 2013 at 15:04

On 2600K 107 is unlikely. 105 is about the max.

Thanks...going to play this safe as its a production server

8 Pack · 18 Jan 2013 at 22:15

Yeah stay safe for that application mate.
