Post your 2xxxk 4GHz voltages

Also, Prime95 and IntelBurnTest are both designed to stress the CPU's components as much as they can. They test the CPU and the cache to their max. There's absolutely no way the differences in power consumption running both will end up being 100W or more.

I take it you are not familiar with those apps then. They are very different. And just because some process is taking up 100% CPU time in the OS scheduler, does NOT mean it is stressing the CPU the same.

In my experience, Linpack is significantly more stressful than Prime95, even though Prime95 is a pretty darn good stress-tester too.

Your CPU package power is what I was asking for. 83.478W is very nice.

No problem 🙂

For the most part I don't play around with baby overclocks. Just wanted to see how low she would go and stay stable. I might drop her down another 0.010v's or so and check for stability again. Using a massive - 0.120v offset. Drops idle vcore also which tends to cause randome bsods at idle. None yet so far tho but then haven't been idle as prime95 has been running for 6hrs plus so far.

Running stock 3.3GHz on my 2500k I record 218W at the wall running P95 Inplace FFTs. Using LinX I record 234 at the wall. I'd expect heavily OCed the difference would be even more substantial.

Edit: My bad, that was still at higher voltage. At 1.2V it's 189 under LinX and 175W under P95. Idle is 106W.

To the point of making a difference of 100W? Highly doubt it.

I have stress tested using IBT, but I haven't bothered looking at power consumption while running it using a power meter. I'll try that, but right off the bat I know power consumption won't magically increase 50%, or 100W.

So what graphics card where you using on these seemingly dubious tests? The RAM and their usage won't make a difference anywhere near as big, so it's irrelevant.

That you want to characterize my tests as "dubious" before you even understand them, and that you think ram doesn't make a difference in how much power-consumption LinX produces tells me you are just trolling me.

Sorry, I don't feed trolls.

I've already answered your question and provided links, that will have to be good enough for you because I'm not interested in wasting any more of my time for your entertainment or education, whichever is the case here.

Iv seen a 35 watt increase on intel burn test just from using a version that uses avx instructions.prime 95 from memory does not use avx and my tempps are way higher using linx with avx and intel burn test than prime 95.

IBT with AVX hits alot harder.

There is a pre-beta version of prime95 w/AVX support 32bit. Info can be found at the following link.

1.32v for 5ghz stable, roughly 48C were the temps after 5 runs of IBT. The fifth run was about to finish, but i set it to only run 5 runs so i screenshotted right before it finished so i could post the voltage and clocks correctly.

OCCT:linpack (same thing as IBT/LinX/Linpack), gets my Q6600 @ 3.6 a good 10C hotter than Prime95 does.

Does 10C rise in temp on Q6600 == 100W? I'm not sure. But it certainly is a significant difference.

Don't wanna burst your overclocking stability bubble but using an old version of IBT without AVX is kinda cheating....At least a little bit anyways 🙂

Try with the newer one with AVX support.

10 bucks says he needs a lot more volts to get avx stable 😎

It did complete all 10 tests with AVX.
