But all the hype was 4.9 on air.
But all the hype was 4.9 on air.
I didn't read much hype that guaranteed 4.9GHz on air - most of the stuff I read was 4.8GHz was very doable and 4.4 to 4.5GHz was pretty much guaranteed . . . which is exactly what most have found so I don't know what the problem is.
I had a great overclocking 920 D0 that did 4.2GHz on 1.25v so I didn't "need" to upgrade but given that I was able to resell my old CPU & mobo and break even for my SB build, why the hell wouldn't I do it? SB overclocking is ridiculous easily (literally about 3 or 4 settings changes in the BIOS) and you're guaranteed at least 4.5GHz on just about every chip out there and last I checked, 4.8GHz still beats my former 4.2GHz.
You have a nice CPU and a nice OC on it but it seems like you're trying to justify the $1000 you spent on it by insinuating that SB isn't worthwhile because they all can't go 4.9GHz+ on air? The fact of the matter is your CPU is still great depending on the applications you need it for - but the vast majority of folks don't spend $1000 for their CPU. For the rest of the computing public, a $300 processor that does 4.5GHz to 4.8GHz (and SOMETIMES 5.0GHz) with only a handful of BIOS settings changes is pretty awesome.
Edit: I didn't see in your later post that you've also got a 2600k enroute - so my comments on your justification of the 980x may not be valid - but rest of my post above still applies.
lol i was commenting on all the pre hype of this chip and claims by some forum members it was going to do 4.9ghz and higher on air and it was the 2nd coming of jesus. i guess you missed all the pre game hype.
Seems like it has lived up to the hype to me. Guys on Xtremesystems running them over 5ghz on quality ( see loud ) air setups. On water and phase the chips are doing great as well. Some chips are better than others.
Considering you can be a complete moron and still overclock the chip to 4.5+ is proof enough of that.

come on guys where all the 4.9ghz - 5.0ghz on air o/c at.
But all the hype was 4.9 on air.
lol 4.9ghz and higher on air and it was the 2nd coming of jesus.
4.9ghz like people were claiming. .
You are like a broken record man. Give it a rest already. You obviously bought into the hype because you already bought a 2600K and you just bought that 980X like a month or two ago. When I read that thread, you were arguing about justification on your choice to buy a 980X or something like that. Now we need to argue about why our $300 procs are only pulling 4.6 - 4.8 on air instead of 4.9. Who fucking cares? 1ghz+ over stock is pretty fucking impressive and not really worth bitching about. Just let it go and relax a bit. Try to enjoy your new hardware for a while.
i have a 1ghz o/c on my q9300. have over a 1ghz o/c on my 980x . almost had a 1ghz o/c on my old 2500 barton. so it's really not that impressive
2600k is not a replacement to my980x its just an addition to my folding farm.
only reason i was justifying cause people were attacking it and making SB seem like its this super chip that can do 4.9ghz on air etc. and from what im seeing its not.
I forgot you were the guy whining about your 980x. Makes sense now.
how was i whining? casue i was letting people know that the 2600k wasnt a 2nd coming of jesus like alot of people were claiming it was. One of the things they were touting was 4.9ghz on air. I just want to know where these people are at.
my 2600k should be here wed to power my gpu farm and do smp folding.
Is there really much point to overclocking these SB chips? My 2600K stock turbo's up to 4450MHz with no adjustment. If I manually overclock it, I'll be looking at what 4600 maybe 4700MHz? These things are wicked as is.
A stock 2600K only goes up to 3.8GHz. Did you use the auto-tune or something?
Im at 4.3 with 1.3 so far. Just started playing with the overclocking. My load temps are at around 69-70c. Is that too high?
I used the stock cooler for about 1 day and noticed it sucked big time as I hit like 90c's on load with that thing. I went to bestbuy to see if I could find something decent and I found a corsair A70 cooler on sale for like $35. Although I can only use one fan at the moment cuz it seems like the ram blocks the other fan, I didnt try to hard to get it on though.,..
Nope....stock p8p67 deluxe, stock BIOS settings. CMOS cleared everything in BIOS completely stock, only thing I've done is update to the latest 1053 BIOS.
You should not need 1.3v for 4.3. 1.3v is good for 4.6 or 4.7 honestly. 69-70C is very high for that overclock, but not absolutely terrible for those volts.
Seems Prime95 Small FTTs is especially hard on these chips. I am Windows stable at 4.8 at 1.35V, and can run SuperPI and Intel BurnTest at those volts just fine, but Prime95 small FTT fails in mere seconds. Ran it up to 1.4V and still no dice on Prime95. It was stable at 5.0 at 1.5V, but I was hoping for a slightly lower speed at significantly reduced volts - guess that isn't happening.
Same here I can run IntelBurn Test for three hours (didn't try more) but Prime95 Small FTTs crashes after half an hour. I'm still going to leave it at 3.8GHz though. Running [email protected].
LinX and Prime95 stresses the CPU much more. Comparing the two, I notice LinX is better. If you can complete 20+ runs with LinX, your CPU is very stable.
Aren't LinX and IntelBurnTest the same? Both are just front-ends for Linpack, right?
this is my understanding as well

Anyone playing with any of the other voltages (Vtt, Vccsa)? Seems strange that I can run 20+ LinX or IBT runs with no problems, but fail immediately with Prime95. Wondering if one of the other voltages might be a factor for Prime95.
