Here you go wprime 1024million. The single hardest bench.


q6600 I will lend you a CPU pot not worries.
 
I'm in :D :D

Scary volts as it looks like I've got a crap chip - relatively speaking of course ;)

My normal clock is 4.7ghz and that needs 1.485v in the bios. Can live with that though. If it pops, it pops :p 8 hours prime stable so far

Got a new WC setup too which I've been tinkering with over the weekend, so my system is silent at 4.7ghz thanks to viper fans only getting upto 50% to keep temps to about 68-71 degrees. Thats in prime. An hour on mafia 2 'spiked' my temps to 55 degrees

Using a EK HF block, and a BIIIG rad :D

Has made a huge difference to gaming by the way as I recently purchased a 570 gtx and it was bottlenecked by the q6600 I had at 3.2ghz. Some games are now so much quicker, and they werent really slow before.

The best example I've seen is resident evil 5. I was getting, at maximum settings at 1920 x 1080, around 98 fps. Now, with the 4.7ghz overclock, its gone upto 160 fps using the benchmark. The best thing about it though is the minimums. On the q6600, the resi 5 benchmark graph had peaks and troths covering a big range of numbers

Now, its a completley straight line. Not one drop.
 
Mate that is really good going. I can not even believe anyone would prime at 5GHz, and I thought I was crazy.

Welcome to the club.
 
Aww, thanks :D

Just to clear up my level of madness though, I haven't primed at 5ghz, only at 4.7ghz. That was 8 hours stable

Currently trying to get 4.8 stable with prime - 1 hour and counting

I've got a feeling though that there is quite a lot more to come out of these chips. I've heard all about the voltage wall, but all I've seen so far is when you add more, you get more

And I haven't read a lot about chips dying, and the ones that have could be coincidence. Alternatively, mine could be dying as we speak :D

Wont be long before we see quite a few 24/7 5ghz overclocks me thinks
 
Yes I am water cooling for the benching.

Under loads my temps are below 68'c for Wprime 1024mil which is the most taxing of them all.

What needs to be understood is that I only keep my benching rig powered up for the time it takes to get into OS and run the benchmark. Once I have the screen shot it is powered down. My CPU's do less work than 99% of all CPU's that are sold I guess. Yes they work hard for the 6 minutes that they are powered up. But the rest of the time they do not work. For my testing of benchmarks I use my not so good CPU's. In 5 years that I have been benching I have not had one CPU die on me. Not one.

*Edit...husband has bought me a single stage that will be used in the future.

Only 300MHz to go... you KNOW you want to start the "OCUK Sandy Bridge 6GHz Club" :D how exclusive would that be!!!

You are on the list although your super-pi time is rather low compared to the others, your slower than the others at 5GHz :( Wonder if core temp is dragging it down?

No, it was a bit of a bodge clock.

So system was still loading up all my junk.

As i kicked pi off the second it booted.

pi > print > save > BSOD..

but still 5.2 verified :P

Ah.... nice job and welcome to the club :)

Try booting at lower Multi and using the Asus software to kick the multi to 52, you should find that will give you more time.

At 5100mhz i had time to run pi 2M, print screen, load print screen into paint & crop, save, then upload image to photo bucket. then post image link & reply in this thread,,


Am guessing it was around 20 to 30 minutes before my system BSOD at 5100mhz

Here is one update for your list Simon.

Gigabyte GA P67A-UD7
Cooling Single Stage
Aventium DDR3 PC1600 ram
OS XP Pro SP2
 
Think it's buried within a glacier lol

Shame there's no coretemp box up alongside the rest there - would be interesting!

*request? :)

Coretemp does not register negative numbers for the SB chipset.

I would say -45'c under load. ;) And -51'C at idle.
Based on the thermometer.
