Is it possible to overclock a i5 - 2500k with 4 sticks of ram and get it above 4.5ghz stable. I ask this as I have always had problems with overclocking a cpu when there are four sticks of ram involved instead of two.
Although I have not done any extensive stability testing above 10 loops of IBT at very high or running benchmarks like heaven and 3Dmark11, my 4.7 seems pretty solid for the past couple of days.
Also I had no choice but to leave vcore on auto so with more fiddling it could be lower voltage and maximum stability with 4 banks used.
I can get 4.7 at a modest 1.32v under load with 4 sticks - unfortunately its bumping thermal limits in my poorly vented case at that point (But the important thing is there's loads of headroom there for higher stable speeds.)
