Got to love that voltage

You should be able to get it down.Try 1.55v that should do it.
I iz in ur club!!
Phew. 5Ghz achieved - needs 1.4Vcore for me though, and under Prime torture test I'm seeing temps @ max of 85C so I'm not staying at 5.0Ghz. For me 4.8Ghz needs 1.3VCore and temps of @75C so that will do for 24/7...
Cheers,
Kev

Just wondering, does anyone know off anybody who had blown their chip because of overvolting ????
These chips just seem to keep going.

Well i managed to get to 5.4 with SuperPI under 7.00 but i had to use 1.66 volts, i think that is pushing it enough !!!!!!!!!
Would someone be kind enough to update the list on first page, i would like to see where i am now in relation to the i7 chips.
I used a clean install of Win 7, without any programs or drivers installed except for SuperPI, CpuZ & Core Temp, didn't even connect to the internet.

Thanks HiVizMan, has anyone ever tested one of these chips till it blows ?
If it did do you think it would take any other bits with it, (e.g. m/board, g.p.u.) or would the chip just stop working ?
Might have another go in a few days time, maybe try it at 5.5 & 1.7 volts.

Oma you might not need such high voltages, have you tried playing with your BCLK yet? You will find that you may have reached your max multiplier. But that you have no reached your max frequency as yet. I have CPU's that will quite happily do 107 BCLK. 54 x 107 = 5.778 GHz When I bench on my system I use a lower multi than my max which is 57x and push my BCLK as high as I can to increase my ram frequency. Often I will be benching at 2240MHz on my ram using the 54 multi.
And motherboards have killed CPU's when they are pushed harder than the motherboard can handle. Some motherboards are more likely to kill kit than others. Your board is not a problem.
