SANDY BRIDGE OC AT 5.2GHZ I WANT TO GO FASTER

[ryanlok15]

hi guys as the title says ive OC'd my 1.5 2500k to 5.2ghz stable, now this is only on air cooling so what i want to do it do it on water cooling...i have provisions in my case for it so i wanted to know of a kit that i could get thats good bang for buck to do this...i know my CPU can go faster as i have had it go up to 5.4GHz but that was pretty unstable due to the heat but i turned it down to 5.2 for the moment.

What happens when you run Prime95 at 5.2 GHz?

What happens when you run Prime95 at 5.2 GHz?

I would like to know that as well?

Including temps.

I think he just idles that beast....prime would for sure BSOD at that speed..Thats if the it didn't release the "genie" inside of the bottle...i.e. cooked

I managed 5.1ghz P95 stable and benchable at 1.520v BIOS setting running a 5c water temperature, that's 18c below my ambient, it's a miracle for you to be stable at 5.2 with air cooling, I'm really curious as to how you did it?

Is your 5.2 an illusion throttling back under load, because if you don't disable all Intels features that's what's actually happening, my 5.1 is with all 4 cores running 5.1 with no throttling? <-- OC Guide in Sig.
