Would these a be a big leap forward from a Q6600? And also justify a £2/300 upgrade?

I've upgraded from a C2Q Q9400 running at 3.6, and this is a BIG upgrade, this defintely feels next gen

what temperature where you getting please?

32c idle with 50% cpu fan

77c 100% cpu 75% fan - prime 95 small fft after 15mins

I think i'm going to leave this chip at 4.5ghz as that seems good, with a vcore less than 1.28v

I think I could do 5ghz no problem tbh, but if someone wants to pay me the money to find out

Go right ahead, I don't plan on nuking this just yet, hey, it's not even official yet lol

are you running 1.4+ through a 32nm cpu?

Ran 1.4v to get to 4.8ghz, now back at 1.28v for 4502mhz

I've adjusted the ring bus to 105 and got it to 4502, and it seems way way quicker, which shows on the cinebench benchmark 8.81 as opposed to earlier 8.36 @ 4490mhz

dave_beast · 7 Jan 2011 at 21:05

4.8 ghz at 1.39v (Set vcore at 1.38 in UEFI)

wow thats really great to see, got my 2500k in the post, along with a P8P67 PRO and 4gb of corsair.
Probably wont go as high as you have dave, not just yet anyway. my goal is ~4.2 on as little volts as possible.

Should do 4.2 on stock volts :cool:

dave_beast · 8 Jan 2011 at 15:27

Temps at idle after 1 hour of prime 95 small fft and a 5 minute rest
Idle fan now set at 37.5%

IIRC you can hit 5GHz by being creative with the volts, with just under 1.40 on the CPU vcore. Now I am not as hot on the MSI BIOS as the Asus but in the Asus you can adjust VRM voltage

I think you're right, I can hit 4802mhz at 1.39v, so with a bit of adjustment of the other voltages I reckon this board will also. Just need some other guinea pigs, I mean purchasers of this board to try

I hope so!
Didi you just change the multi to get this high?

I pressed the OC genie button on the mobo and rebooted, but I think you can just set the multi to 42 to get the same result.

Here is a guide to getting 4.2

1. Enter UEFI bios

2. Set multi to 42

3. Save and close

Jobs a good'un, if a little bit too easy

What temperatures does it reach?

No more than 67c at full on Prime95 with 67% fan

Updated my wei at 4.8ghz, will need 4.9 to get to 7.9 I reckon

What fan on the Hyper 212?

Just the standard one that came with it

That's what I'll be using on the 2500K I've got coming on Tuesday.

Good choice

Ssssshhh I am start thinking of Sandybridge with graphic card but can I use my own memory ram cos there is no need to buy a memory ram as I had corsair XMS2 triple-channel DDR3 2000mhz memory rams 2gb x 3 slots ?

Yes, just use two sticks of it in slots 1 and 3. DDR3 dual and triple channel memory is the same.

I might do it now and compare to your

Do I run the lot or just the CPU? ALready done the CPU and WOW :eek:

dave_beast · 9 Jan 2011 at 22:02

Ok will do the lot, in the meantime here's my cpu score 12507.2 if that's any good????

dave_beast · 9 Jan 2011 at 22:12

Ran the lot and got this

Not really had time to play any games, too busy oc'ing and benching

dave_beast · 9 Jan 2011 at 22:19

So is this chart below right????
