That's pretty good. The cpu vcore @ 1.376v is spot on with Intel recommend and also your memory ram volt at 1.50V is spot on with cpu pll is spot on below 1.8v and finally your BCLK base is fine at 100MHz. That's pretty good 4.8GHz, what temperature is that dave ?
 
Isn't 1.4v or above dangerous in a 32nm chip?


If it takes 1.6v without instafrying then 1.4v is probably ok long term. It is funny though, my old 939 3800 X2 runs happily at 1.25V (it's a 90nm chip), my current E8400 (45nm) I run at 1.4V and some people are benching 32nm at 1.6V.

Edit: derp didn't realise there were 3 pages to this thread.
 
Just thought i would through a x6 result into passmark only at 4Ghz and lagging behind the Intel CPUs.

Sandybridge looks like a good CPU a bit worried that they seem a bit fragile that's why i always wait for the first revision (DO) etc they always seem to clock better, hopefully by then we will have Bulldozer to compare it to aswell.

Funnily enough, with the lower vcore comes lower temps, and i'm idling at the same 23c, but not really seeing over 55c under full load.

Yes, there might be some duff chips, or duff motherboards that are overvolting (or enthusiasitic overclockers overvolting :p) but I would say that Sandybridge, for me, is awesome

My 24/7 setup is running 4.5ghz at 1.27vcore, so it's all gravy :cool:
 
Quick update, bought another 2 x 2GB of the GeIL Value Plus 1600mhz so all 4 ram slots are populated (4 x 2GB total), no degradation, same clock speeds, same benchmark results (SuperPi and Cinebench 11.5)

Stock timings and volts as per the ram sticker 9-9-9-28 @ 1.6v

I have these running at 9-9-8-24 @ 1.45v

Get 'em while there cheap folks

I wish you had said that last night. already ordered a 8GB corsair kit, £30 more than 4x2GB
 
Am amongst giants in a SuperPi test :cool: (DB006 7.706)
