One shop in the USA has sold over 900 6700K within the last two days, and they have over 6,000 on back order lol.

Has anyone managed to pull 5GHz out of one of these @ 1.3v or there about?

6700k gone up in price? says 360 now down to 320 which it was before?

 

[Orangey]

Just wait for it to go down to RRP when stocks allow.

Strange, everything on default in bios, and my 6700k saying core voltage 1.328V in bios, is this wrong ?

Update BIOS. 1.328 is way too high.

My default voltage is 1.28v.

uscool, in the Extreme Tweaker section and then the Ai Overclock Tuner, mine is set to Auto, you reckon thats why, should it be manual ?

guess it booted again, i dont do anything with Ai overclock,

i just change multiplayer for cpu to overclock it to 4.5ghz and manually set speed / volt and timings for RAM,

i just updated bios to 0603 , it restarted like 4 times, saying updating bios then me updating

and it reset all my bios settings/ cpu/ram etc, had to redo all my fan controls, lucky i took a picture of each

weird thing is when i was setting ram up, the cpu voltage was like 1.40, as soon i restart and went back in its back at 1.28v now

actually now its showing as 1.392 in bios and aint budging, in cpuz its 1.408v, i can see the speed reducing but not voltage, updating bios always seems to cause new issues

as soon i have multiplayer at auto so no overclock, its at 1.248 now, but its not dropping down when idle like before, would drop down to 0.700v, , and know when i increase multiplayer , cpu voltage without touching it goes to 1.40v ,

before with older bios i had it at 4.5ghz and would be around 1.32v and it would drop when in idle, and was stable , played quite a few games past few weeks no issues .guess the board bios update caused this
