What's your highest i5 750/760 OC??

Hi guys. Just for fun I'm wondering what sort of overclocks people have been able to achieve on these very excellent CPUs? It looks like the 2500k is going to completely blow the old i5 quads out of the water, but let's hear it for these great CPUs.

For daily usage I usually use 177 base clock with turbo enabled, so it's at 3.7ghz with turbo to 4.25ghz

However, I got it stable at 205 base clock, 4.13ghz across all 4 cores. Temps were getting high but still ok. I'm going to see if 4.2 is achievable this weekend.

I have the validated link in my signature along with system specs. (although it doesn't show: Antec 902 case, Zalman CNPS10X Extreme heat sink)

So, let's hear it!

(I'm especially curious how the 760s do with their extra multiplier

I have pushed my I5-750 to as high as 4.4 Ghz although the temps and instability was unusable. I am now stable @ 3.9 Ghz and low temps and I get 10.127 on 1m super pi, @ 52 gflops. I don't use turbo so my temps stay quite stable.

Wolf, stop acting like a noob, The forum warz overclocking competition (at the Raptor Pit) starts next week, are you going to play?

My i5 760 is running at 3.8ghz, thats the highest ive tried to get it i dont think i need any more ;p



got mine at 4ghz cant see a bit jump.....could be because of gpu... ran out of money so got a 4550 :pfff: 

Nice, revive an old thread.

Just curious to see what temps you guys are getting at 3.7GHz - 4.0GHz with the 750, or even the 760... I have mine at 3.4GHz (all i need), and max temp is around 60° C. vcore is at 1.14 and ambient temp is like anywhere between 21 to 28° C. I think, lol not too sure.

Well right now at 3.9ghz I top out at about 79C in Intel Burn Test, but more like 76C in Prime95 and under 70C under regular use like video encoding or video games.

If you wanna OC it to >4GHz, you better buy yourself a pair of good ram. In my case, I use 2x 2GB G.Skill ECO DDR31600 CL7 and I can OC it to 2100MHz @1.65V (CL7-9-7-24 1T)

Psycho thats an interesting post. I was amongst the impression that AS5 was some of the best but obviously im wrong.


I think AS5 is good enough for me. I am using 2x GTS450, should I change them to 2x GTX550 Ti?

Originally I also had the MSI P55GD65, but it died when overclocking. Fortunately I had the in store warranty so they replaced it for free with the Asus P7P55D Pro. The 3rd PCIe x16 lane only runs at 4x through the south bridge, so I think it's only PCIe 1.1, and therefore the card is bandwidth limited and can only run up to 83% usage tops. But it's enough to play any PhysX games (Cryostasis, Metro 2033, Batman, Mafia 2 etc).
