Well, lets have a collective thread for this.

I'm still going and I'm at 3.9GHz @ 1.45.

Cooling as per my sig. Load temps are 39C on Asus Probe and mid 40s on Speedfan. My flow is ~1.6 GPM. No vdroop whatsoever (thanks to the CPU voltage buffer option in BIOS).

Board temps are very decent (8 phase PWM that runs cool).

 

13s on SuperPi 1m. Quick & dirty test. Had apps running and I just clicked off Orthos..

 

At 4Ghz but it doesn't like 1.45v...

Increasing vcore.

 

Hmm tried all the way up to 1.6v and still a no go. Gonna figure this out tomorrow after I get back from work. In the mean time, back to baking at 3.9GHz.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if it needs >1.6v to be stable at 4GHz. The scaling gets really ridiculous once you go beyond 3.8GHz

 

LicHers' thread. Anyone can reach 5Ghz, dinner on me!

 

eat what first? who knows.. you being a gentlemen might just treat the winner balik pulau 's 70sen buffet laksa

 

QFT.

Don't make me buy phase/copper cylinder...

 

Aiyo... seafood no problem man... Or we go Langkawi, drinks on me.

 

im glad to know you man

 

I want lunch HERE... In the Pacific Northwest. I know just the place... Well actually McDonalds HERE will be good enough...

 

Reduced the voltage further

 

No problem, just fly me over.

Oi...

 

Have tank of water with a bunch of ice in it, filtered intake and boom all set.

 

Back to topic. I think I may have found a sweet spot...
