Figured I'd get a BSOD....Was kinda shocked

[Kenmitch]

Getting ready to downgrade my rig in sig so figured I'd test my chip a little bit more at lower overclocks to see what it would do. Currently water cooled so I'm thinking that I need to find some lower stable overclocks in case whomever wants my rig has a fear of water

My MB has no issues overclocking at more traditional higher overclocks but lacks the UEFI option for picking a - offset on additional turbo voltage which would come in handy. Zapping LLC down to the lowest setting does somewhat help but I still have to use a pretty large - offset vcore value to keep the voltage down as my chip doesn't need a whole lot on the lower end it looks like.

Was figuring on it BSOD'ing at such a low vcore under heavy stress. Had to load it back down with Intel Burn Test as when I returned it was done already. Was gonna snip during the 19th run if alive still.

I like to do some quick prime using 1792k min and max size as it'll BSOD quickly if not even close on the vcore....It's what I've read and have experienced in practice at least

Gonna play around some more today as it's pretty much gonna be my last adventure with the rig as it's gonna most likely be going on Craigslist soon.

This looks to be the data from one of my 2500k adventures many moons ago. The 2550k makes the 2500k look like a lemon in comparison!

ib uses less v than sb btw

FWIW my 2600k is LinX stable (problem size 43122, ~14.2GB) with 1.209V (measured) at 4.2GHz, peak temperatures 60.6°C (25°C ambient).

Maybe your 2500k was a lemon?

silicon lottery....

4.7ghz on air 1.384v, temps at load never go over 76c in prime but I do have to turn my fan speed up (dual 120's). What kind of water setup are you using?

Your 2500k sounds like my first one. My current one is stable under those voltages.

That is a true statement....But both the 2500k and 2550k are SB's

I'm switching over to IB 3225 and will be sporting HD4000 as I don't need the power anyways....Gonna just suck it up and follow Intels lead

The 2700k I had before this chip was similar to your 2600k at 4.2ghz it required 1.216v's or so to be stable.

I'm still trying to decipher my old data as it's from last December it looks like....Last edited date on the file. I think the results are with diff amounts of LLC if I remember correctly.

The 2500k I guess was average for a 2500k looking at the 4.5ghz vcore.

Looks similar to when this photo was taken. No longer have the xtra fan under the top rad tho. All rad fans as exhaust as airflow is decent enought to not mess with temps much anyways.

Currently playing around at 4ghz 1.184v's running LinX which ate up all my memory it looks like....Makes it hard to surf the web, upload images, etc.

edit cus ken has boring

I had a good one too. I actually had this at 4.6ghz stable at the same voltage before I sold it.

Nice chip.

Why the downgrade? I'm confused.

More of a addiction to speed than a need for it. Couldn't get back into gaming so rig idles 95% of the time anyways. I figure the 3225/HD4000 with SSD will be good enough for me....Got z77 chipset just in case demands change later.

All the above and Intel is kinda take all the fun out of it anyways.

No fun indeed
