I wasn't impressed with the Intels that did 8 GHZ. 5 years ago . Why would BD be impressive today at 8 ghz . Now f it was a stable water O/C ya I would be impressed. It would be neat to see those old intels chips @ 32nm . Likely 10ghz without much effort other than handling the tanks that is . Your not going to see IB @5.5ghz @ 1.2 V stable . Not in this life anyway

Originally I was considering an H80.
Then I decided not to bother with WC because I figured high end air would be fine.

Now I'm considering a full WC setup, especially since my case (Fractal R3) seems to have holes which are perfect for threading out tubes to mount the radiator externally (no heat dumped in case. Some people might talk about noise issues, but after my previous case, any noise is still less noise).

Considering close to 5GHz wasn't far fetched with SB, and IB isn't a massive change, but comes on a smaller process, it doesn't seem all that far fetched.

LOL . First things first Who cares what others think . Do it for self screw others. You sound like you want 6ghz. That would be neat . I think 5.5@ 1.32V Is about all the further I would push .Alot has to do with how that 3rd gate effects the chip electricly speaking electro mechanical force can really throw off how things were in the past new tech new horizons . IB at a 5.5Ghz at no more than 1.32v would be a successsful endurring O/C to my way of thinking that is.

I don't see why you are hung up on "1.32" voltage as if that is a perfect number lol. I can tell you that 5.5ghz stable was not difficult on THIS IB chip, however that doesn't mean they will all be the same.

As far as people who overclock things to the limits, I don't see why you have so much hatred towards them. Who cares if they can set up a server, I know a ton of people who can't do that but are great with other things.

IB will give much higher 24/7 overclocks then SB, mark my words. Most SB chips run around 4.5ghz and I would put money on it that most IB chips will run at 5ghz 24/7 for the norm.

Better overclocks ftw. Stable, and max. You might not care about benching, but the people who matter do =P.

Well Whats safe V on 32nm SB . DO you really think it will be the same for 22nm IB. If so the 22nm trigate chip is even more than intel has lead one to believe.

I hate things not people . You either respect people or pitty the poor spirits. It is true I have little respect in me for others . Respect is earned not given. But there is a light I have seen but thats for after. CPU O/Cs on gas is a joke it serves no usefull purpose and is infact a waste of time and resources. I sure intel has set its own O/Cing records that we don't here about. Look at XS half the regulars are marketing something . Anyone want free hardware just test equipment and lie about results and the free crap will roll in . Sites like XS aren't anything like AT . There Xtremely stupid people who are looked up upon by younger enthusiast and what ever products they endorse . Skinneys LAB is a hop and a skip from my house . His lab is not a lab at all. THese people pander to marketers who supply them hardware. I good example is the AquaComputer Modularity Rad. There available, yet no test by the usual suspects. I have tested them well I should say Robert has tested them . My health is pretty bad and I tire really fast . But I do a little each day . If any AT member would like to Test one of these Rads I will send ya one at my cost . But ya have to send it back. Maybe you to can become a tester for hire . LOL. I know why none has been tested, Because they are that good and the Normal tester don't want to lose their free hardware . I see a lot of people are using flow meters now which is OK . But once you know what a certain pump can do at Xvoltage you know its flow rate once that flow rate is known and your loop is similiar to the test loop . I have found a pressure guage much more useful . Once you know the pumps flow rate. Na this water cooling thing has turned into a money grab. I like H2O cooling a lot and have spent large somes of money on it . But I have never really made money on it or other PC Hardware I sell it to customers for same price as I pay not 1 dime do I make on hardware . I make it on the complete PC what I personnally do parts we make or have made for US. So there ya have why I dislike Xtreme O/Cers They pander in a manor but not to help out others they pander for themselves . disgusting unnatural actions . But its now so instilled ignorance, will say its a natural action . Its not never will be .

Well Whats safe V on 32nm SB .

Depends on the operating temps, and the clockspeed.

If you are talking stock clockspeeds then I suppose you should keep your voltage at or below 1.35V if you intend to let your CPU's operating temps wander close to TJMax for extended periods of time.

Keep your temps cooler and you can safely go a little bit higher in voltage while retaining the same expected lifespan for your chip.

Man you have early chip . @5.5ghz@1.2V Easily. But suddenly not all chips will do this . Your kidding Right . Now your down to for the norm 5ghz 24/7 . Mind giving me a Voltage setting for these 5ghz 24/7 O/Cs . I love benching but not gas . I have gas here . its alot effort for little return . I even held the record on PC mark 6 I believe for intel chips at the set speed. Big deal. I still enjoy benching . We have a 2600k here and a 2700k both at 5ghz on water. There both gamers. HT is on. My browser was set at 4.5 ghz all summer . Than in the late fall went back to stock . It is just a browser. 1 game loaded but rarely played by me . Grandson plays alot tho .

@ 5.0-5.2 24\7 with sub. listed max. volts I'm in.
-just hope my massive KL370 w\block does not crush the little sucker.
