as the title says...

if amd owners can do this, intel owners can too

clock speed day to day and max clock, voltages, benchmarks

mines are, 2700k @ 4.6ghz 1.30v under load. haven't tryed any higher
multiplier at 46
turbo power limits 210, 210
CPU PLL Voltage 1.791v
vcore mode to auto
LLC level to 3.

62c~ underload

laptop , 2760QM @ 2.4ghz , turbo boost @ 3.5ghz...

Ha, we're doing this now.
Surprisingly it's you to start it :p.

4.8GHZ is my day to day and max is 5GHZ at 1.475v. Forgot to change signature, I used to have a better chip that could do 4.8 at 1.35v, 5GHZ at 1.425v.
1.4v under proper watercooling.
Haven't got benchmarks to hand.
 
Current day to day in sig - have had it clocked to 5ghz, but not on current board. Best have managed on current board is 4.925GHz at 1.31V

Sometimes I just run it at stock :)

Will post image of Cinebench score at 4.925 later - posted it in couple other threads already

I still remember I argued with Final8y on one of your topics, with me saying your Phenom II X6 would bottleneck your 6990+6970, while he said it wouldn't or something along those lines). So I would like to hear from your own opinion in terms of performance after upgrading to Sandy while remain using the same graphic cards :p Also, did you regret...or just a bit annoyed about waited for Bulldozer, when you could have upgrading to Sandy MONTHS sooner?

Q9550 currently running at 4GHz although it needs more voltage to get it stable on this board than I am happy about (3.825GHz is the max stable with sensible voltages). Running a tad over 1.45 vcore. The max I've had it at (on a Gigabyte P45 - not on this board) was around 4.7GHz (not stable) and 4.6 stable with less voltage than I'm putting through it now.

Haven't done any benchmarks on it recently, last time I did anything like that superPi was still the one to use :S

He's noticed better FPS at stock with his Sandy.
So yeah, he was bottlenecked.

the PII x6 @ 4ghz was bottlenecking.. 2700k even at stock gave better FPS

What temps do you get at 4.8 with 1.33V?
Click to expand...

On IBT Very high, 50 runs.

Average across the cores 95 (That's very high imho, but normal use rendering vids no more than 75) That's with a H100 P/P.

Hopefully putting it underwater should bring those down a few C.
Tempted to delid it though, just dont want to accidentally kill it :P
Seems to be a half decent chip, needs a few move V to get the clock, but seems to be cooler than most.
 
lol to be honest, I own both although I have far more experience with Amd. It wasnt until the e2140, e8400 release that I jumped ship from good old socket 939. Using an 650iultra was the first time I hit over 4ghz !!! Then when the athlon x4 620 came about I jumped ship as it spanked my 8400 in encoding.
Over a year later I upgraded my dads 754 newcastle to an x2 555 + new board.
Upon discovery that the x2 unclocked and clocked like a bad boy, I swapped my athlon with the x4 b55 into my 770ud3 am2+ with ddr2. This board and my ram lasted me from my intel build (reusing ram from intel setuo) all the way unti I then bought my sandy last year (2-3 years) ! So It's great that amd included 2 memory controllers.

Anyway I planned to buy an 2500k, they had none in stock so i bought a 2600k.
It runs using offset so max v-core is 1.37, and i clock it to 4.5 with power savings on, Using a titan fenrir it runs so cool max 63c core, doesnt make my psu squeal and encoding which is moslty what i use my pc for it is just so much faster than my 4.2 2750nb x4 b55.

In gaming comparing the 2600k at 1920, there were some games that the intel played better and some games where there was little difference. This was using a 6950 1536 940/1375.

Since then a few more games have come about that make use of more cores etc, I'd like to buy an old am3 board and borrow my dads/ my old x4 b55. I'd like to see how bf3 runs at ultra with no aa vs my sandy bridge on multiplayer. I've heard the rumours but most people dont overclock the phenom II properly, they just run 18/20x200 and call it a day.

Anyway i'm no fan boy I buy for the best value, the x4 620 clocked was a massive leap from my e8400 for my purposes. The same for the 2600k vs the x4 b55.

2600K...

4.8ghz @ 1.32v (1.312v with just 2 memory slots used) day to day

5ghz @ 1.38v when needed

5.4ghz @ 1.47v - Not stable tested, used for benching.

Soon to be replaced by a 3960X.
