Those of you with OcUK OEM 2700K Official OC Results thread!!

Depending how far you want to clock the CPU you might find 4x RAM sticks will hold you back stability wise!

I know your post wasover a week ago but....

Could having 4 * 2GB on my Mximus IV Gene-Z be the reason I was getting so many BSOD when testing my overclcocks on a 2600K? I could get up to 4.7GHz Prime stable (but not IBT high) but needed 1.44V, compared to 1.38 at 4.6, and the last 0.2 were to get rid of the 124.

Might have to RMA the 2600K and buy a 2700K here :)

IBT needs more voltage on my 2600k than prime to pass,it seems to push it harder.Thats with 2 sticks of 4GB memory.
 
Has anyone got details/how to for maximus iv extreme,im wanting to try and get my 2700k to best stable clock, as above all that is touched is vcore and muliplier?

Not sure what to do as all ive ever used is asus cpu overclock software

Thanks

I went to http://www.asusrog.com/forums/forum.php when I was looking for help/advice for my Maximu IV Gene-Z. There are some useful HOW-TOs and guides there, as well as a lot of enthusiasts with the same hardware :)

I'll be glad when I get the last few bits for my waterccooling (wasn't sure on the initial order if my mATX case had room for 2 * D5 pump without compromising the room needed to fit a GTX580). I can push it farther then :)

I'll be replacing the 2 * 4GB with 2 * 4 GB in a couple of days. Ordered them from here yesterday (or was that Friday, I forget now, but it was a good deal on 4 of them, and I've got a couple of other systems that need memory).
 
If you are worry about degrading cpu chip either high voltage or high temperature, then don't bother to overclock it, simple as that! If you can afford another cpu, then overclock it. Intel had told me the safer cpu chip for i5 2500K, i7 2600K and i7 2700K are no more than 1.35v! (they mean any degrading cpu) and below 70C in temperature with air cooling.

thats what i've said.

Or even water cooling. I am finding that volts are not the biggest problem, but heat is,running my 2700K with a dual rad and EK supreme and even at 1.288 vcore running Lin x or IBT at max my temps are 63-68 in a cool room !!

So for me to go any higher than prob 4.6 is going to be out of the question, unless I go triple or quad rad which would not fit in my 650D - ignore my sig - need to update it. Maybe my board is poor? Asrock gen3 ext 7.

I am not surprise as I thought custom water cooling are suppose to be lower temperature than high end air cooling. My silver arrow air cooling doesn't go over 67C for 4.6GHz.

My Noctua is giving similar temps when testing and is under 60C while folding. I've got a water chiller (Hailea Ultra Titan 1500, capable of removing 790W of heat and chilling the water to 4C) for the loop I'm working on, so temps will be no worry soon :)
 
I used to keep my ambient at 24C, but now I'm planning to go sub-ambient I'm looking at dewpoints. 22C and 30% RH gives a dew point of 4C, so I've dropped my ambient by 2C, and am going to get a dehumidifier that I can set to keep the RH below 28. Then I won't have to insulate my tubing and blocks/reservoir etc.

Your electricity supplier is going to be having a very merry Christmas ;)
 
I picked up a 2700k last week and am seriously impressed with the speeds so far. One weird problem I've run in to using a negative offset and 75% LLC, at 100x48 it passes 25 runs of IBT on very high and then another 20 runs on maximum but I get the 124 BSOD after running prime for only a few minutes. Is there not enough load for the LLC to kick in strong enough with prime or something?
 
Sorry if this has been mentioned, but I was wondering what sort of speeds you might expect if you disabled HT on a 2700K?

Now I know that generally it'd be silly to spend the extra on a 2700K (or 2600K) over a 2500K if you're going to turn HT off, but what speeds could you reach?

I mean, since most boards allow for multiple profiles these days you could have one with HT and one without couldn't you? For when you know you're going to be doing something that benefits more from clock speed than from extra threads (games or example).
 
Are there many of these 2700K left? I don't want to list my 2600K for sale only to find I end up with one from a worse batch :)

If I haven't had an official reply (or at least a reply from someone who isn't guessing) before tomorrow, I'll email support as they will know.

does it matter that much mate ?

this batch that batch, its all a challenge, you will still be able to clock it nomatter what, who knows, you could get a better chip from a different batch than the other batch, its all trial on error isnt it ? Thats how I see it anyway.

And for all the difference your talking about it is hardly even noticable, or you could do as others have said to me and wait on the ivy or something like that, and then you might find thats rubbish, lol, same thing, just swings and roundabouts init ?

I personally wouldnt be put off with a specific batch, no way jose as they say, lol.;)
