There you have it, at 5.1ghz, the i7k 2600K is faster at rendering than the Core i7 980x at 3.33ghz. Certainly if you overclock the 980x it will outperform the 2600k, but considering the £500 price difference this is incredible.
Next, Super Pi Mod 1.5 @ 5.1ghz, both 1M and 8M calculations. 7.3 seconds and 1 min 26 seconds is an incredible result.
The next time someone says ‘overclocking isn't worth the hassle', show them this page.
5.1ghz is a pretty crazy overclock. that voltage as you say might kill the CPU long term, but its very cool to see
thats crazy man !
4.8ghz seems much safer long term, but thanks for going the extra mile to show us what is possible.
5.1ghz on air? dear lord, I need to get one of these processors and motherboards.
Not much to say to this, apart from ‘lol’. seems you got them further than others ive read today. still 4.8ghz looks safer to me. especially after buying it.
heh, this is class. Those processors seem to love the juice, I know a few people on the XS forums run their older core cpus just under 1.6v so id say you would still get pretty long life out of it if you wanted to play hard.
well done, very good for an intel board and extremely impressive for new architecture
That noctua NH D14 really never fails to get me hard. its better than some watercooling kits.
Well I had almost bought a 1100T from AMd, and now I really don’t know what to do these are so damn good and the price points are excellent. the 1100T costs around the same as the 2600K and it wont really go past 4.3ghz.
Well done. great work.
Heck, even im impressed and im so bored of tech now I fall asleep with most new releases. This setup is wicked Zardon and im really happy you have helped us try and get the same oc’s, although im not sure im brave enough to risk 5.1ghz. For the purposes of this article though, damn nice to see.
Noctua NH D14 has just been ordered and ill be looking at one of the asrock boards and perhaps the 2600K in a few weeks.
Awesome. When the guys with LN2 get these, I can only imagine the OC.
Fantastic work on these,. has really helped to push the platform to me.
what a mega overclock, love it.
Now, this is what im talking about 5ghz+ on air. who doesnt want that. if they dont’ they need to move sites.
are you sure the price is right? AMD would be well overpriced if this was accurate. 170 for the 2500 and 250 ish for the 2600 ?
Well I dont know about anyone else, but this is fucking impressive. I know you guys had a lot of good ocing with the 875k but most people didnt; this however seems to be killer.
reading the sites online , it seems 4.8ghz is the speed they are getting them too. Trust Zardon to crank it more 😉
5.1ghz ? fuck me.
I love my Noctua NH D14,. always love the fact KG seem to use them for these all the time. nothign else to go for.
Oops.I jizzed in my pants
Hey I have a similar set up with the Asus P8P67 deluxe. I bought the MB CPU and RAM as a bundle pre-OCed to 4.6ghz. I found it was very unstable though and BSOD on prime95 only took 20min. I checked the BIOS and they had the CPU volts at 1.33v with seemed a bit low, so I increased the volts till prime ran stable for 5hours. It’s now at 1.38v but maxed 80c core temp, which seems kinda high.
I’m really annoyed as I bought the bundle to prevent having to do the OC myself, I have requested an rma from the company in question so hope that I will get this sorted. Was just wondering if there is anything more I could try first. Gonna try removing the Heatsink and remounting it. Also shall see how my other settings compare to you guys.
My first OC so I’m a novice.
