I'm cool with (4.2 - 4.3GHz) on my gaming unit and my daily unit runs @ (4.0GHz)...

4.5 is perfect for everyday use. Even 4ryan6 who is running 5.2ghz? pushes his down to 4.5 for 24/7 use. Or am I wrong on that?

this is why i think hedonism is such a good analogy, you always want a higher clock!! lol. better risking destroying a chip than your septum!
that's a pretty fine overclock right there, nice one.

Affirmative! You are not wrong.

Do you need to see it survive intel burn test or will what I have above be okay? If it means anything I did run burn test on standard and it passed. Just didn't screen shot it.

With a lot of trying.

::sigh:: I want a good 2500K

Don't cheat^^

Cheat? cheat how?

2 cores 2 threads ;P

Good catch! He'll never pull off a clock like that with all 4 cores running, unless he is using LN2.

 

[4Ryan6]

^This guy is telling it like it is..I killed that chip..and I'd do it again
not necessarily from that run..forgot to plug in my pump and started comp with a 4.6 OC

For the record, mine is running just fine, No Problems! Ryan

 

[4Ryan6]

Additionally for the record, be careful in your attempts to get as high a clock as you can especially if you really do not have the cooling to do so, as you can loose your investment.

The raw urge to compete can get you into trouble in an overclocking club so be careful and cautious, don't guess at what you're doing know what you're doing!

I would like to share regarding my i7 2700K entry clocked to 5300mhz was done running all 4 cores however hyper-threading would not stabilize past a 49x multiplier no matter what I did.

Maybe sharing that bit of info will help some of you running the CPUs capable of running hyper-threading, all cpus are different but you may need to disable hyper-threading to go past the 50x multiplier.

If you venture up to and beyond a Vcore of 1.520v, don't stay there any longer than you have to, and then back it down to a safer 24/7 operating range below 1.40v, below 1.35 would be even better for longevity.

As with any overclock, be careful and know when to quit. Ryan

..not worth replying to.. smh You do realize that most max overclocks are done on 1-2 cores? no?Well..They are.

6 Cores 12 Threads

 

[cchartsell]

list has been updated I'm pretty sure I got everyone. If I skipped over you let me know so I can add you in.

 

[4Ryan6]

..not worth replying to.. smh You do realize that most max overclocks are done on 1-2 cores? no?Well..They are.

IMO if no rules to the club specified otherwise a 1 or 2 core clock should be allowed.

We your comrade overclockers will be looking more closely simply because it's much easier to drop cores and attain an overclock on 1 or 2 cores than the full amount of cores the CPU actually has.

It's not actually cheating but can be considered false representing a full core clock, and would be best displayed by stating it's not a full core clock to start with.

My 2 cents! Ry

I agree, amuffin can you update the requirements? All cores / hyper threading should be enabled.

 

[4Ryan6]

Hyper threading is an option, not a standard core requirement and that does not have to be a requirement that hyper threading be enabled.

 

[4Ryan6]

is it true that the i7's clock higher with hyper-threading off or it's a myth and doesn't matter.?

Affirmative!

 

[4Ryan6]

There's no need to do any rule changing at this point of already accepted members, I'm having a US government flashback, change the rules to fit the policy that was not thoroughly thought out in the first place.

so 'recon-uk' is no longer with us permanently it seems.
he was on his last chance and I guess he blew it.

I think he's so bitter that he even 'unfriend' me on Steam..... :lol:
what a girl.

no more of his 480's plated in gold that claim to outperform QUAD SLi GTX 690's...

That's a shame, I liked him.

Vaya Con Dios! recon-uk

Don't get me wrong Mike, I wish you would have changed your attitude, there are many past THGF users that never got the chances to readjust their attitudes that you did, you brought the hammer down upon yourself.

IMO you got too many slap on the wrists, in my earlier moderating days you wouldn't have gotten 1/4th the get out of jail free cards you were given.

Hopefully you've learned something from this, and I do hope for the best for you, and your family!

^ I added something else to it, check that out too!

Here is a nice OC guide I used for my i7-960 which also includes i3, i5 and other i7 chips.

http://www.overclockers.com/updated-intel-overclocking-guides/

My original OC was: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/rheyan0809/MYOC.jpg (Note: real temp is bugged in that SS as it reflects the incorrect multiplier, CPUZ is correct)

Then I changed to the setup below because I was certain the CPU could handle more! Current OC below.

3DMARK11 Result for those interested: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y270/rheyan0809/3Dmark11.jpg

 

[reilentless]

so is that 4 x HD 6870 in quad CF-X or is it 2 x (6870x2) for quad CF-X.?

Its 2x (6870x2) for Quad CF-X

Pic below.

Case: Antec902 1st Gen
PSU: Antec 850w Signature 80 Plus Bronze

Soon to upgrade to Corsair 800D and try out watercooling. I'm having a little trouble looking for waterblocks for the 6870x2 though... as you'd probably know 2 x 6870x2 in an 800D would be a terrible idea. If I have no luck on GPU water blocks I may go the HAX-F.

 

[reilentless]

nice...
not liking the HAF-X idea, better options are out there.
(too many people have the HAF-X..)

Hence my hesitation... except the HAF-X has a nice setup for GPU cooling on the side panel that really benefits my GPU setup. The 800D however is the case I really want, except it has no side cooling... if anything I'll mod the perspex to fit a 140mm fan for the GPUs or sell the 6870x2s and go back to Nvidia.

TBH setting up the drivers for these cards were a nightmare when I first got them and atm the latest Catalyst drivers reduce performance Anyway I'm sure a thread for that exists elsewhere

Other case suggestions?

You could always use four uni's.
