    Another 2500K Overclocking Question...

    Just check the SPD info for the XMP memory profile, it should be available in the EFI and in CPU-Z

    Best CPU's of all time?

    Athlon 64 and Conroe/Kentsfield for their architecture advancements. Those are the ones that stick out in my mind

    Another 2500K Overclocking Question...

    As far as I know its not possible to keep the overclocked frequency all the time, I have the pro board and haven't been able to do it. Its not really necessary though, the ramp up is very intelligent and instant as soon as load appears. You're fine with the frequency at 350khz, set your...

    P8P67 4.7GHz+ : What Memory Works at 1600 ?

    Corsair XMS3 2x4GB 9-9-9-24-1T @ 1.5v. Other specs in my sig. It uses the same chips as the vengeance RAM, just doesn't have the pointless heatsink

    Official ASUS P8P67 Series Overclocking Guide and Information

    It should be fine, there are reports of people running the engineering samples at 1.45v and over for months with no problems. Disabling C1 C3 and C6 doesn't actually make it idle at the overclocked frequency btw, it just doesn't report that its idling at 1.6ghz to the OS anymore. CPU-Z shows...

    Still ethustiastic about SB ?

    Last I heard it was supposed to be more like 20%, and even that is hard to believe. Remember its just a die shrink, not a new microarchitecture. As for the op, I'm not sure you being an engineer or an old person qualifies you to guess at whether or not Intel is lying.

    SB Overclocking results?

    I saw a difference from stock turbo (3.7ghz) to 5.0 ghz when streaming with FMLE and playing some games, but 4.4~ is probably more than fine for that as well. It does speed up video encoding though

    SB Overclocking results?

    I was running my overclock with the PLL at 1.80625 because of a recommendation from someone, but when I turned it back to 1.8 (the default) its still stable and runs about 3c cooler under small FFT load

    CPU Z bug?

    Actually I meant you need a new version because it seemed like it was reading the voltage wrong. The downclocking is because of speedstep

    Official ASUS P8P67 Series Overclocking Guide and Information

    I'm running a P8P67 pro with a 2500k at 5ghz, with the voltage set as 1.36v. I have speedstep off but the cpu still idles at 1.6ghz, then ramps up to 5ghz under load, is this working as intended? From your write up it makes it seem like disabling enhanced speedstep and speedstep would make it...

    CPU Z bug?

    You need to get a new version of CPU-Z

    Overclocking RAM - speed or latency?

    I think generally extra bandwidth is better than tighter timings, but I'm pretty sure the performance benefit isn't something you'll notice or even care about, apart from synthetic benchmarks (maybe for video encoding)

    P8P67 + Samsung F3 = FREEZE

    My configuration is nearly identical to yours, except I have 1 c300 and 2 F3s, with no RAID arrays, and I have no issues. Did you try disabling the RAID on the 2 F3s?

    2600k Overclock headroom

    I think an EFI update will fix your sleep issue, as I believe PLL overvoltage is recommended. Also when I had speedfan 4.42 it wasn't reading the temps correctly for my 2500k on a P8P67 pro, I had to get the 4.43 beta. Or just use CoreTemp, RealTemp etc, I know for sure CoreTemp reads it correctly
