Got me a 2700K Cook'n at 4.8ghz w/HT on. Test boot at 5ghz!

[Kenmitch]

I was cruising the forsale/trade forum and found a good deal on a 2700K 😀

I was happy with my 2500K at 4.5ghz 1.35v but figured what the hell. Wanted to flash my board to current uEFI anyways but didn't wanna loose my overclock profiles.

Decided what the hell buy 2700K flash uEFI and start a new adventure 🙂

I've only been playing around with it for a couple of hours but seems like a nice chip so far.

It's running prime95 Large FFT during this screenshot

I think I'm gonna halt here for now and give it a week or so for stability testing....Not a bad start and it looks like possibly 5ghz may be within reach!

==================================================================

Test booted at 5ghz just to see if it would. Didn't do much but found a starting point for later.

Thru a little trial and error and a couple of bsods I just upped the multiplier and kicked in a little LLC > changed from regular(none) > medium(25&#37😉 > only had it loaded for a minute or two as I can wait to test this out later.

At least it past the screenshot test so far 🙂

Not a bad chip! I know you gotta a good deal on that 2700k 😉 There were 3 sellers selling these for good prices. I was so tempted but I can't let this 2500k go. 🙂

Looks like 5GHz might be possible with 1.38 volts. Nice chip!

You got a good chip, but I would expect that you will need at least 1.42volts for 5ghz.

Go for the gold, Go for 5Ghz , raise voltage to 1.42v like the chap said.....

Heck go higher,, try to 5.5Ghz @ 1.5v oh but you need extreme cooling to do this, like WC or a loud powerful HSF,,, gl

It's not a huge upgrade going from a 2500K at 4.5ghz to a 2700K at 4.8ghz w/HT but once I sell my 2500K it's not too bad of a hit on my walet 🙂

Time will tell

You got a good chip, but I would expect that you will need at least 1.42volts for 5ghz.

Looks like the chip might have a shot at 5ghz but I'm gonna sit at 4.8ghz for a week or so and stress test it. No rush on the overclock as I'm happy with the chip so far.

I'm taking the as intel shipped the chip route with everything enabled. Using no LLC with offset voltage. The chip seems pretty solid so far.

Not sure how much longer I'm gonna let prime run tho. This shot is from this AM the temps and voltages were reset when I started prime so I could see how much the vcore and temps fluctuate under heavy load.

Thats a pretty low vdroop going on there. I would try to tone down the LLC level a bit so it doesn't spike so low.

I'm gonna reboot and save my profile as I killed prime at a little over 12hrs. Figure the chip is close to stabalized or may need a tic of vcore. In the time will tell faze of testing for about a week.

I gotta double check but I think the LLC is set to regular which is none according to Asus. Seems like my board will stabalize at lower voltages when set to regular.

I'm gonna reboot after OCCT gets done. Doing a 1hr test while I surf the web on half my screen while my daughter is watching a movie on the other side. Figure it's a good multi-tasking test for the rig.

Just couldn't resist the temptation of a quick 5ghz attempt. Rebooted and saved my 4.8ghz profile.

Upped the multiplier to 50x > booted windows > loaded cores > bsod 🙁

Rebooted and upped vcore a couple of tics > booted windows > loaded cores > bsod 🙁

Rebooted and reloaded my 4.8ghz profile > changed to 50x multiplier > changed LLC to medium(25&#37😉 > booted windows > loaded cores > got starting point for 5ghz 🙂

I only had it loaded for a minute or two just to see what I might have to look forward to after I test out 4.8ghz for a week or so. Might not be 100% stable at this voltage but at least it passed the screenshot test.
