Don't you have load line calibration (LLC) option? I have enabled it for my [email protected] and bios vcore has been reduced from 1.425v to 1.35v while still maintaining the same load voltage of 1.312v. Such a difference!!

Umm this one seems quite nice. Only done a little testing but it allows the 55 multi at 100 blk in windows at 1.44v bios. Not stable, but looking promising.
Left it running prime at 5GHz 1.325v for a few hours but came back to a BSOD, but i don't think its far from stable.
That would make this rather a good chip if it can do low voltage at 4.8 / 5.0 GHz and yet still allow the 55 multi + Normally they permit none or one but I have not seen one do both before.
Ok 5.5GHz at 1.55v SuperPi run, cant be bad.
Have to admit i'm struggling to go further at the moment despite the voltage, determined to get a 6.6s Super-Pi score on the board though

that's impressive!! What's it cooled by? Phase/LN2 or something?@wingZero - no, no LLC option
or PLL... just basic vcore, NB, PCIe and various ram options

LN2 - 6 GHz is not that rare for a 8400 CPU by the way. Just need to go through binning hundreds to find the ones with the high FSB wall.

Damn You lol
, I was hoping to go for another tweak session soon and take your original position before I saw the new one aboveSeriously though, nice overclock you *?-#/=

Sorry
You still have one place you can make up without too much more work, Although it seems once you find the max an SB CPU will do, it does not matter how much you try, it will just not go any further.
This one will just not do any more. Tried 54 multi and more BCLK and 56 multi with less... what ever way I cut it I get between 5.5 and 5.51GHz but no further.
Still I'm not complaining. 5.5GHz for braging rights benchmarking and 5GHz with reasonably low vcore for day to day use is a result.

Nice CPU you have there Simon.
And that is the way it is with SB, a frequency wall. It matters not how you get there.

Hey guys,
Was going to have another go at getting higher up the ladder but my system isnt even currently stable at stock so I've given up for the time being 1day, dropped you a mail to trust regarding motherboards!
Cheers

With SB cooling is not going to make any difference as to how high your overclock will be. I got 5.7GHz on air with my CPU.
I only cool it actively to keep it safe during benching for long periods of time.

Yes.
But not for 24/7

What about an i7 2600k and a Corsair Hydro H70?
Associate
Yes 5GHz is certainly doable with any of the H50/70 and some others similar to those. But I am just not sure that 5GHz is sustainable for a 24/7 rig. I would like to be wrong mind you.
Soldato
I've heard that the latest 2600Ks don't do 5ghz prime stable. Thoughts?
Soldato
Pretty sure I wouldn't be leaving it on 24/7.

Calling all P8P67 Pro owners - which bios do you recomend? I assume the latest?
have a msi gd65 b3 with a 2600k
can do prime stable 1hr+ / linx / vantage @ 5GHz, (50x100, 1.4-1.440v)
but out of the blue when im just web browsing or installing apps / games it may blue screen
have tried vcore from 1.39 - 1.45 (dont want to go higher tbh) with similar results, pll from 1.65 to 1.9v
seems like an i/o voltage thing, might have to play around with some more voltage tweaking, its so annoying lol
it is 100% stable at 4.8GHz 1.36v, and rest of the volts on auto
any ideas what the i/o voltage could go up to? had a little look at some guides but they dont mention much about the other voltages
also I have the C1, EST features all on at the moment, should I turn them off?
