Help needed getting 2600K past 4.8Ghz

iB CoMpL3XiTy · 7 Aug 2011 at 10:35

Hello!

I've currently got my 2600K at 4.8Ghz with 1.38V prime stable for 8 hours. Max temp 61C

I've been pushing for 4.9Ghz, I'm using a Vcore of 1.41V, with this it runs prime for about 15-20 Minutes then the PC just restarts, no BSoD or anything....

I pretty much have everything on AUTO except memory at its rated voltage and Mhz, but have the Timings really loose for now. Oh and LLC on Extreme.

I'm using an ASUS P8P67 WS Revolution, 4GB (2 x 2GB) Corsair Dominator RAM 1600Mhz CL7 1.65V

Please don't say I'm using dangerous voltages ETC... This is overclockersUK, not green peace

Just looking for some tips or tricks to get stable at 4.9Ghz + Thansk for any suggestions

could be the temps.

you may have a setting on your mobo so it shuts down when it gets over 65-70c

the big bump in volts you need will generate a lot of heat

or maybe its just not stable at them volts. i need 1.45 i think for 4.9g's

one of the best comments ive seen on this forum

take a look at this thread plenty using the same volts

Yeah could well be temps, I'll have a gander in the BIOS for a CPU temp setting/value

Cool thread, some people have amazing chips :O 5Ghz @ 1.320V, lucky ******

ye wish that was mine.

im on full water so i would be running mine at them speed all the time.

i would try more volts.

normally you do get a BSOD but it can just shut down from not enough volts

Ive never seen anyone get 5Ghz at 1.320v on a 2600K with HT on.Are you confusing it with the 2500k?

i think all the fuss over volts is ott.i have mine running at 1.48 to get 4.9ghz.if it goes bang then intel will replace it under warranty.simples.i don't think it will though so i'm not worried

Thats the spirit.

Never said it was a 2600K

You've got the right Idea, Intel didnt give us a K version and a 3 year warranty for nothing

Yeah looked in the BIOS and couldn't find anything for setting the maximum temp, although I did find an intel temp monitoring thing which I disabled and also a TDP thing which I set to max

Now testing 4.9Ghz again at 1.41V, max temp so far is 63C, but only been testing for 10 minutes.

And you never said it wasn't.

ah! ha, yeah true

koooowweeee · 7 Aug 2011 at 11:18

normally i would have failed by now.

i normally only test for a shot time then carry on in normal day to day stuff (surfing gaming)

if i get a freeze a few times ill bump it up a little but if i get 1 bsod then ill bump it up a little straight away

Geeman1979 · 7 Aug 2011 at 11:32

Any ideas what BI-Directional Prochot is used for? mines set to auto,was wondering if this is better turned off when Over clocking.

iB CoMpL3XiTy · 7 Aug 2011 at 11:43

It failed :/

After 23 minutes it Bluescreened on me, 0x00000101 (Need more gigawatts)

Now testing at 1.415V

@koooowweeee, My Bro is the same. He just doesnt have the patients lol, his stability test is 3dmark06

TB1968 · 7 Aug 2011 at 11:59

You cant use 3dmark06 as a stability test lol, you need to run prime95 so it can load all 4 cores up to 100%, but good luck getting to the magic 5ghz

though as its been mentioned on this forum before, it just depends if you get a good un or not.

lol

mine is 10 mins intelburn 10 mins prime and then a bench of 3dmark

BSOD codes for overclocking
0x101 = increase vcore
0x124 = increase/decrease vcore or QPI/VTT...have to test to see which one it is
0x0A = unstable RAM/IMC, increase QPI first, if that doesn't work increase vcore
0x1E = increase vcore
0x3B = increase vcore
0x3D = increase vcore
0xD1 = QPI/VTT, increase/decrease as necessary, can also be unstable Ram, raise Ram voltage
0x9C = QPI/VTT most likely, but increasing vcore has helped in some instances
0x50 = RAM timings/Frequency or uncore multi unstable, increase RAM voltage or adjust QPI/VTT, or lower uncore if you're higher than 2x
0x109 = Not enough or too Much memory voltage
0x116 = Low IOH (NB) voltage, GPU issue (most common when running multi-GPU/overclocking GPU)
0x7E = Corrupted OS file, possibly from overclocking. Run sfc /scannow and chkdsk /r

i seem to have had them all lol

but 124 seems to be the mail on i get
