guys what do you think,is it safe to go above 1.5v vcore as i still have temp headroom(its 58C at load and don't worry about winter its as hot as summer here and also i am using single fan for cooler so another fan will reduce temp and also my 400R can some more case fans.:wink:)
btw it booted at 4.4GHz @ 1.5v without any problem.may be it will boot even at 4.6GHz without any problem.

^^ you have got an excellent chip but don't go over 1.55v - thye 4.3Ghz should be stable at 1.5v though.

@ max_snyper - 4.2Ghz and the Corsair H100 ? you can take your cpu for a wonder ride - set it at least 4.8 Ghz and see how the cooler holds up.

Nice Bench.... With 4.3 Ghz the Cinebench Score is 5.05? I thought it will be much more than that.

@max_snyper

To know your Overclock stable or not... Just run Cinebench 11.5 once. If it is done successfully then it's almost 95% stable..... :-D

Just kidding...Burn Tests are must but Cinebench will crash your systems if overclock is not stable.

Nah, a bit worried with the volts, just wanted to see if I can push it further than last year. ;)

lol. The min temp is 27.
The 1.472 vcore seems a bit high. How far can the 2600k go on default vcore ?

1.45 is a bit on the higher side, but safe for short time gaming.
P.S. haven't you ran P95? If you already have, then you shouldn't worry about gaming.

cool, why not try 4.5 Ghz as that's the norm ;-)


Need a slight voltage bump for that, don't want it. 4.3 GHz is the max I can get with stock volts (not Auto) and turning PLL overvoltage off etc. while keeping everything stable.
