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

[wolfram23]

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?

OOOOOPs, sorry, I think your the wrong Wolf...............................

I guess so! Never heard of the raptor pit lol.

Wow was that you? What was the VTT/IMC voltage at? That vcore is low.

Wow, I got my i5 760 OC@4.4GHz (w/o TorboBoost)

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.

 

[wolfram23]

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.

 

[lccc37]

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)

 

[lccc37]

I can OC to 4.2GHz @1.3V and it goes to 70C when running Prime95

 

[cromedome]

Thats very good Iccc37, what are you cooling it with?

I dont have great ram, but the frequency is 2000mhz which is pretty decent (9-9-9-24). Transcend aXeRam by the way.

Thx man. I am using Corsair A50 + Sunon Vapo+ 3100rpm + Arctic Silver 5

 

[cromedome]

Ah, I think I should also get some Arctic Silver 5... I'll bet that my temps will drop about 4°C

 

[lccc37]

55, Arctic Silver 5 is awesome but expensive.

 

[cromedome]

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

 

[wolfram23]

Damn. Time to pick up some MX-3. (limited compounds available locally. Arctic Silver 5, Arctic Cooling MX2/MX3, and Zalman STG1)

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?

WoW! You are using 2x 5850 CF! Nice! Hope to see your 3DMark Vantage and 3DMark 11 score.

Your wish is my command!

Vantage (PPU off)

Vantage (PPU on, but slightly lower CPU clock)

And my personal best 3DMark11 score: http://3dmark.com/3dm11/526616

 

[lccc37]

Nice work! Here is my score.

Vantage (PhysX off)

Also, what's your Motherboard? 3x PCI-E x16!
