On the wagon, sorta
After a little help, i recently replaced my Q6600 desktop with a 2500K, ive been tampering with it and had it to 4.8ghz but didn't have time to run stability tests for longer than 45 minutes so left it at stock

now im working on 4.5ghz 24/7 stable.

currently managed 4.5ghz with 1.220v, cant seem to get any lower.
I had started with using prime but have been reading IBT is better so ive been using that now. ive just finished 10 runs of IBT at maximum, do i just run a longer run of IBT or do i go with prime now?

Also is there anything i can do to get the Vcore lower?

all i have changed is

LLC level 6
vcore 1.220
multiplier 450
bclk 101

Are there other voltages you can tweak to to try and stabalise a lower vid?


Once i get this stable ill work on 5ghz if possible.
 
i figured it was a healthy clock for the volts but lower is always better, just wondering how far i go to prove stability for the long run. i had always used prime but ive noticed the watt draw when running Intel burn test is a big jump and the heat it generates is higher aswell so is this all you need?
 
20 passes on ibt extreme is what i call completely stable

also you have a very nice chip, i need 1.38v for 4.6ghz :[
 
10 ibt(maximum) runs is sufficient imo,its very stressfull,if its gonna crap out it will within those runs
 
Wow 1.22v is really low. I need 1.34 to be stable at 4.6. IBT on maximum and 10+ runs to test stability. Anything less than maximum isn't really going to prove anything.
 
Maybe i'm old skool but I would still give it a full run of Prime Blend to ensure long term stability. I have often been IBT stable (maximum with full mem possible) but fail Prime until i adjust the overclock further.

Make sure you have the latest Prime95 with AVX instruction set
