Nope this is 24/7 stable. 1.275v for 4.7, very happy and input is only 1.87v.

That's a pretty impressive chip then. What sort of stability tests you running? Obviously nothing massive just interested to see what it will do as that's one of the best I've seen.

Hi, has anyone taken advantage of the Intel Tuning Plan? I bought this for my 5820k and I 'm wondering what is the process for obtaining a replacement?

Do Intel ship you a processor out on advance RMA (where they hold card details until they receive your old chip).

+1, my thoughts as well - almost a golden chip me thinks. Lucky old Matt. Lol

Mine needs around 1.38v for 4.7, and I'm not sure that is unconditional. Perfectly fine for benching though.

15 minutes of real bench 8gb and a couple of hours of Battlefield 4. This is with the mem at CL 14 3200mhz 1.410v.

lol Matt! Reaaaally? An hour to two hours at least, and you need to run with 16gb. And that's still a pretty loose definition of stable lol

Still it seems like a good chip none the less, just maybe not as heroic as I first thought. I can't run any manner of tests with less than 1.35v for 4.7

If it doesn't crash or give any errors under normal use/gaming/benching, that's my definition of stable.

I'll run 30 minutes of Real Bench and update later, but if it does not crash after hours of BF4 that's usually a good indication I've found. I always find gaming sniffs out instability much quicker than stress tests.

Depends, cache instability especially. If it's not accessing the cache at point of failure it takes weeks to notice any. Everyone is entitled to their own methods though, no matter if some are a little ropey .


I just like to know to an-as-close to degree, and that is hardly a barrage of tests. HCI Pro, AIDA and Real bench for 2 to 4 hours isn't exactly a hardship

If i get any crashes, I'll test further. 30 minutes passed without issue. Typically if something was unstable on the two other chips i had, I'd have seen instability by now.

Are you doing this on purpose? Use all the memory lol

 

[LtMatt]

That's the max it will allow me to use, 8gb.

 

[Silent_Scone]

But you've got 16GB? What version are you running, use the latest build. No point testing memory stability if you're not remotely saturating it

 

[LtMatt]

That's done it, will update later.

I don't have a screenshot, forgot to grab one but these are my new 24/7 clocks. Stable for 30 minutes of Real Bench using 16gb.

4.7Ghz core @ 1.264v
3200Mhz CL14 @1.4v with seconds and thirds tuned
4.6Ghz cache at 1.35v
Input voltage at auto but set at 1.872v
VCSSA at 0.900v

I know you are happy with that, but just as a matter of interest
How long does it last in Prime 95 v284

Not a clue, I've really no interest in running lengthy unrealistic stress tests if the computer never crashes under general/benching/gaming usage - which is all i use this rig for.. I believe the overclock is stable though as gaming always produces a crash/freeze/bsod quicker than any stress test which sends core temps very high.

 

[wazza300]

how many cpu's you had now matt? seem to have a lot of trouble finding a decent chip

First one died, second one was a stinker so i took out the tuning plan and the third one i got is golden judging by the core voltage i need for 4.7Ghz. Got an all AMD FX8370E rig next to it, that chip is looking good too for 5Ghz. Happy days!

I wouldn't say lengthy, I find prime picks out a flaky overclock quite quickly.
But hey ho as long as you are happy with it, that is all that matters.

Prime has failed me many times as I get impatient and fire up a game after 12 iterations, often crashes toot sweet!
