OCUK Sandy Bridge, SB-E and Ivy Bridge 5GHZ Club

My first effort.

Any other ideas how I could boost my time without needing to raise the clock speed? I currently have the highest clocked 2500k but the 4th highest 2500k time.

tighter ram timings maybe, and if you are feeling really adventurous you could back down the multi and overclock the bkclk - although I by no means recommending the second option.
 
My final attempt, managed to get my ram to run 8,8,8,24 @1600 but it was very unstable. CPU pull seemed to be random. On some restarts it would pull <1.45, others much more.

What ram do you have?

1.576v :eek:

6.833s makes you the fastest 2500K :cool:
 
Depends on how much voltage you need to get 5Ghz. If you find a very good Cpu and can achieve this below 1.4v! High end top end air cooling should be ok I would have thought.

Yeah I think that voltage was a bit of a fluke. That run really was Indiana Jones style. I got into the windows temple fine but once I tried to steal the golden statue everything started crashing down everywhere because my RAM had a rest on a pressure plate. I guess my CPU didn't like it so got over excited.

I only have a H60 and it seems to handle it fine. I'm not fixed at the max multiplier and Super Pi doesn't put full load on it. Nor am I (usually) pulling in many volts at all.

At my current 5Ghz OC which I have adopted as my 24/7 since my volts are so low DRAM is at 1.5, PLL @ 1.586, Vcore ~ 1.088 idle, 1.352-1.36 at load. While stress testing temps hang around the 60s, gaming 50s, otherwise it sits at 30 or below.
 
I really should jump on this bandwagon. Wont be much, but atleast I can say I hit 5ghz (without blowing anything up!) :D. Will do it tonight and post up screeny.
