so vcore is good then at 1.3v with 4.5ghz? wow i thought maybe the vcore was to low...lol thats great!
and good i hope the gflops go up...lol when i had an unstable oc at the same speed, but ram at 1866 my gflops were 57 average.
i will run some more tests on the 4.5ghz oc just to be sure first. i have to admit im happy at 4.5ghz and cant really go to much more on the vcore. loads at 1.32 without vdroop at a max of 72 on the hottest core peak, so maybe 1.325v will be my max i believe that should give me around 75 degrees max load maybe a bit ore, but either way under 80 for sure which i feel is good to keep the chip under 80 degrees max load. would say that is a good temp threshold? to stay under 80 degrees max load?
 
btw having all 4 sticks of ram in now still, will this affect my oc on the cpu once i remove 2 stick when i start to up the mhz for the ram? i would like to get stable at 1866mhz on my ram with 2 sticks and see ow that goes, of course 4 would be great, but at the same time i dont want to stress my imc anymore than i need to. its rated for 1066/133 right? so 1866mhz would stress it as is right?
 
just want to be sure before moving forward. thank you guys. am i on the right track from the post?

Ok so linx seems to hold as well as the cpu at 4.5ghz with 1.3v

Yea, 5ghz takes alot of vcore.  I only did it once and even then I had my h100 rigged to a window ac unit.  Even with all of the cold air i think i was mid 70's.

well i have to say after seeing many at 5ghz with 1.5v+ i think im good at 4.5ghz...lol
 
onto the ram, this is where i need alot of help i think...lol

your temps look good at 1.3v , for gaming and most other programs you will not notice much (if any) difference > 4.5
 
for 5ghz you typically need a minimum of 1.4v and some need over 1.5 to do it.  It all depends on the cpu, each one is different in how much power it needs.  There is a 5ghz club thread here, take a look though it and look at what their vcore and temps are and that'll give you a good idea.
 
start at 1866, vDIMM 1.65, try without changing VCCIO first.
Try 9-10-9-27, leave cmd rate on auto
 
if that works try 9-9-9-27
if that doesn't work try the vccio at 1.1

you can start with 2 sticks and once you get a solid run try and put the other 2 in.

ok so 1866/1867 ram speeds pass with 2 stick for 8gb's at 9-10-9-27 timmings at 1.65v
 
eleet shows ran at 1.63v even underload, does this mean i could run 1.63v instead of 1.65v?
 
also i noticed my max load temps went up a small bit from before, i assume its because my imc is running the higher mhz?
 
would i be pushing the imc to much to run all 4 sticks? im ok with 8gb tbh for now.

a .01v or .02v difference is not a big deal, I'm dialed in at 1.61 and it shows 1.6 in eleet
 
first get your timings to where you like it, then you can lock in the vDIMM
 
your max temps are perfectly fine for a LinX run
 
see if you can hit 9-9-9-27, if you want to go further after that you can start lowing the 27. tbh you're not going to notice a difference even if you get it to CAS8 other than when benchmarking.

Are you running something in the background while doing the LinX ?  Your GFlops are about 1/2 of what mine are with my 2600K at 4.5, I am getting around 107 for mine.

what? well msi afterburner,real temp,eleet,ms security essential ect.

anyone else getting 100+ gflops in linx at 4.5ghz+ ?

lol, your temps are still fine. you're running one of the most demanding applications out there. aside from stress programs like that, no other application will put that much strain on your pc.
 
when i do f @ h and it is at 100% usage i am still 10c below the temps i get when running prime95

well i tried 29000 problem size on linx maxing my available ram and passes 10 runs. with 80 degrees max on my temps at 4.5ghz @1.3v w/o vdroop. is this good?
