2700K @5.0, vcore was 1.42 in the BIOS.  Batch# 3152A938
Apogee XT block, swiftech MCR220-QP rad, 655 pump in XSPC dual bay res.
 
What is a safe 24/7 vcore ?
 

 Forget the other one.
Did 5.2 but that's all she'll do
cooling is custom H2O, XSPC raystorm block.

on water 1.45 is fine but your at 1.42 @5 ghz so your good

 
Thanks for the info

Hi and Welcome to the 5+ ghz club! :)

this is the place to post pics of ur 5 ghz clocks! 

please note there will be updates in here! :).. 

and to those of u who are jealous ""

take your time and look peoples Rigs (give a +1 and comment) and clock speeds!! 

 

We lack members!.. get that cpu overclocked!! 

 

u will need the following in ur Screenshot if u want to be member!! 

1. something like this! (to verify it is YOUR clock speeds!)

 

2. CPU-Z this will verify your speeds! :).. 

 

3. your computer running Linx! minimum 20000 package size atleast 10 runs without error! :)

(if u choose 29000 u can do 5 runs! :))

both should result in about 15 min of linx, just to show that u are some kind of stable and not just bootable! :)

 

4. Report batch, Cooling and voltages in your posts so that i don't have to pm 1000 people who just posts a pic!

 

 

this shows my clock after linx as well   



I had this done by  so that members of the 5 ghz club can put this in their signature if they have room! :)

Thank u a lot! :).. looks awesome dude!! :)

I humbly submit this for consideration. 
5.0 GHz at 1.48. 

 
That got toasty...be careful with that.

I wanna joinnnnnnn

I think I need to check out my temp monitoring.  I can't get the CPU to max over 75c with the tool that came with the motherboard and real temp shows much higher.

I run it at 4.8 though which never lets me max over 66c typically unless benchmarking etc cause nothing taxes the proc enough for me to care otherwise lol

Be really careful there..you're pushing it temperature wise. That seems like a lot of vcore for the speed. And yeah, I'm normally running at 4.8 with HT @ 1.375v for a 24/7 OC. Never get worse than around 65c..F@H whenever I'm not gaming...so it sees some good use.

I'd just hate to see you nuke your lovely processor for the sake of a number. >.<  

Edit: If you look at my picture, I used HW Monitor for my temps..I also use Core Temp in conjunction with a Windows gadget for easy desktop monitoring.

Yeah..just a word of caution if you didn't know. I have somewhere around 4 different temperature programs, plus the temp reading on my motherboard..and it's a crapshoot it seems like.

Fortunately the tech changes fast.  I do not worry about the longevity of the CPU because personally I know I will swap it constantly.  Typically I'm either lucky with the batch I get on chips or order ones from particular batches.  I picked up my last 2 at Fry's lol.  Also, aside the temps and science of things there is always that room for gut feeling if you have it due to the variable quality of all components always.  Which is the fun part
 
5GHz is redic on these anyways which really cracks me up.  I just watch the cores and they are damn near idle doing everything.  I have the VCore set at 1.46-1.48 but allow it to draw more.  I never do unless I'm grinding it on this particular cpu there is nothing game or program wise on my machine that ride it that hard. 
 
When I back it off to 4.8 I run it 1.42 and it stays really cool at that temp, I'd call that the spill temp for where my H80 can not keep up with cooling and the liquid temp rises to X amount and sits.
 
Oh well. 
 
I have always just bumped the CPU speed from stock VCore until it BSOD's/Locks, bump the VCore move it up and go until the temps get high or the machine starts yelling at me 100-200MHz at a time.  Then I methodically (haha) crash it over and over at that max area I feel is safe then slowly slide it down until it is stable. 
 
Safest way to do it.

It is the best.
 
I don't know how long you have been at this but with the Northwood Pentium 4 1.6a's were out we were hitting 3.2GHz air cooled on the right chips using a VID mod wrapping a strand of copper around the pins to change the default voltage in the BIOS.  That was probably the most epic OC without water or anything.  I did though have a 7lb HSF with helicoids and a TMD fan because those were all of the rage.
 
Oh snap, I found a pic of the one I used on google... lulz. 
 

 
The one time I fried something I was being funny and was making fun of something on an only computer and said 'HEY LOOK IT EVEN HOT SWAPS RAM' and shoved in a stick of PC133 and BAM lol.
 
I started dying laughing.

Now my Z77 with i7-2700k  Batch# 3150B137
Corsair H80 - Push/Pull
  
 

Yeah...I start getting uncomfortably hot after 4.8 @ 1.38v..takes a lot more volts for not as many results. Going to look into changing my radiator fans though...also just went to a 360 instead of a 240 radiator..lowered temps by about 5c. At full load I'm hitting 65 tops and idling at 30 while @ 4.8.

I basically did an xspc kit with the raystorm block instead of the rasa. I've got that block, an ex360 rad, and the 750 reservoir/pump combo. For a budget cooling setup I couldn't be more pleased. I'm sure I could ride this thing a lot harder but i'm trying to scrape out my folding by months end here.

Np. I really want to try swapping my fans it for ultra kazes but my cash is waiting on diablo 3.

Aiming for a Different goal, I managed this.

 
It finished before a full 15 mins went by, so I don't know if that count's or not.
Now off to get my 1st goal.
and no, this won't be 24/7...4.5-4.7 is my 24/7 clock
 
CORRECTION: that run was at 1.445 Volts, I was retard didn't hit enter when I changed my volts so it kept my last set volts which was 1.445.
 
Doing 5.1 now...still haven't gotten my 1st goal yet >.< 5Mhz didnt do it

80C max at 1.50v vcore on air cooling??? man, you must be sitting in the freezer with your system ...

I have around 27C average ambient here and with air cooling I am hitting 80C already at 4.5GHz with 1.325v vcore ... using EVGA SC air cooler (HDT) on 2600K here. Even Corsair H80 failed miserably at 1.515v to 95C (test failed, chip unstable) and at 1.525v shooting the cpu core temps up to 98C (complete fail because it got thermaly throttled after after a few passes).

I am building a water loop in a few days and putting this cpu under water. not only because of this thread LOL! but because I want to have 4.6-4.8 daily OC and can't manage that with such hot ambient room temps I have here...

Actually time of that according to my Acurite thing it was 77 degrees in my room with 51% humidity.  Which 77 degrees is little warm for my room normal its about 72-73ish.
 
The Phanteks cooler I have can hold it's own for an air cooler.
