Dah, I want in this club...
I'm too scared... I seem to have a pretty good chip but I think 4.8 is the maximum I'll chance. Might give it a go this weekend after writing down all my settings...

whats there to chance?
if your chip goes pop then your still covered by intel....but it wont
ive had 1.6v through mine and its fine just got to keep temps down thats all.
what cooling do you have?
Was trying to fiddle with the offset but was having problems. CPU decided to throw a strop no matter how many volts it had. So I loaded back my settings, booted successfully then tried again and it started behaving.
Anyway, ended up setting it to fixed voltage. I managed to get it to boot into windows and run 1m super pi with it set to 1.4 (although cpuz read less). 1.39 would login but bsod before I could run pi or cpuz and 1.85 would crash on the login screen. All of this at 5Ghz to find where to move up from.

what ram are you running?
5 ghz starts to need a bump in ram voltage aswell..im going to guess you have vengeance? this is 1.5v so set it to 1.55v or up to 1.6v.
take it of fixed voltage and try 5.1ghz with the vcore you had for 5ghz, if it freezes put it up .010 until it posts

Actually I have xms3. It is currently at 1.5 but it was at 1.65 for ages so i'll just put it back to that. I just tried 1.5v on the vcore (nothing else changed) with 51 multi and it didn't post. I am finding it quite annoying that it seems luck of the draw each time it fails to post whether it decides to reset the settings or not. Sometimes I have to sit through 7/8 restarts before it will reset the settings and go back to UEFI.
Silver Arrow. I'll have to ramp all my fans up though (they're all on minimum at the moment and my CPU isn't too bad while gaming - 69* max with fans on min under Intel Burn Test). I'm currently compromising on Noise/Performance.
can you link me that ram?
1.65v is to much for sandybridge
what error code do you get when it bsod
I found 1.55v worked fine for mine (Corsair HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB kit though).
is 69c when on 4.8ghz?

1.65 was its default value. I don't understand this at all. If my PC fails to post even once i.e. after turning on it just goes to a black screen it throws a hissy fit and won't post with anything but stock settings.

No. 4.6 under IBT (with all case fans on min... I can drop temps quite significantly if I ramp them all up but it then defeats the object of me building my system to be as quiet as posssible!
)1.65v is high for sandybridge
i would say you have hit the wall as far as your rams concerned....
the vcore you are showing for the clock you got is very good so its up to you wether you have a burning desire to go higher or are happy with 5ghz
MAN that way annoying. Took me about half an hour to get my PC to boot with an OC of any kind. It wouldn't accept either an automated 4Ghz OC or a Manual set 3.3Ghz (i.e. the stock speed) with 1.41 volts. It would only boot if it reset the settings after failing and I let it continue to boot from that rather than entering UEFI. In the end I reset UEFI to defaults and that seems to have done the trick. So... what the hell is my PC doing? Why must I reset it to defaults if it fails to POST even once?
As it is I can't really push my CPU if it keeps doing this. I can't spend half an hour inbetween voltage bumps.

if you ramp up your fans 5ghz should be do-able on air ...just keep an eye on temps
its your ram mate.....
sell it and get some of this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-299-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517
it was good enough for my 5.4ghz clock on a 2600k currently in the top 20 and its only £44

You're not trying hard enough

my god dave beast 1.680v you really wanted to squeeze that oc out....
now time to hit the 55 multi
Yeah, have done others, but the chip has the easy life now down at 4.5ghz
