Prolly not too bad of an idea. Unless there is a bios fix so they clock on cold and unlock some more bclock I don't see these being too popular on hwbot. 2600k will be the only one worth hw boints. On the other hand, you can buy two 2500k's and bin them for only $100 more than a single 2600k.

2500k is i5 not an i7

here's a video for ocm

where did OCM call the 2500K an i7?

just the facts

Thanks for the link HC.

OCM :thumbsup:

With nothing but time on my hands and waiting for payday to order my chip I've been working on my water cooling loop. The idea was to make something modular though the use of Koolance Quick Disconnects. This would allow me to go from CPU only Loop to CPU + GPU Loop to CPU + GPU @ Sub-Ambient Loop on the fly.

Loop configurations are as follows:

CPU Only Loop:
Swiftech MCP-355 with EK Rev2 top > Koolance CPU-360 Water Block > Swiftech Triple Rad > Quick Disconnect > Swiftech Triple Rad with integrated Reservoir > back to pump

CPU @ GPU Loop:
Swiftech MCP-355 with EK Rev2 top > Koolance CPU-360 Water Block > Swiftech Triple Rad > Quick Disconnect > Swiftech MCW-60 Universal GPU Waterblock > Quick Disconnect > Swiftech Triple Rad with integrated Reservoir > back to pump

CPU + GPU + Sub-Ambient Loop (3rd Triple Rad @ A/C Outlet):
Swiftech MCP-355 with EK Rev2 top > Koolance CPU-360 Water Block > Swiftech Triple Rad > Quick Disconnect > Swiftech MCW-60 Universal GPU Waterblock > Quick Disconnect > Swiftech Triple Rad @ A/C Outlet > Quick Disconnect > Swiftech Triple Rad with integrated Reservoir > back to pump

I've tweaked my window A/C unit to run @ a constant bone chilling 2c/35f strictly for benching. :shock:

Lets hope I can get this chip to like the cold. If not I'll just set room temp to 20c, drop the 3rd triple rad and call it a day. :tg:

OCM :thumbsup:

2c is very noice :)

Yeah, its pretty rediculous. Didn't belive it at first till I verified it with a second temp probe.

All I did was pull the themal bulb out of the evaperator coil and placed it a few inches away from a floor lamp light bulb so the system senses a constant load.

Takes about 5 min to get down from ambient to 12c and another 30min to get down to 2c.

Wonder how long she'll run @ full throttle before I kill the compressor, lol.

OCM :thumbsup:

Whats the make/model/btu on that unit?

IDK, I'll check when I get home from work.

Edit: Samsung AW18ECB7 17,600/18,000 BTU

OCM :thumbsup:

2600k is finally in route from the egg, w00t!

OCM :thumbsup:

2week shipping?

Canoe Expedited Shipping :)

OCM :thumbsup:

hope you get a L04xYYYY :D

lol

cant wait to see what you do with this ocm

should of over night it :taunt:


also wth text at 2am :laughing:

Thanks Al :D

Should be here by Friday :P

Chip is in.

Batch# L040B705

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

OCM :thumbsup:

Grats man, same batch as mine, keep me posted, just grabbed a board .... :thumbsup:

Good luck bro :clapping:

nice

vid?

6+ghz :taunt:

l

eheheheh yes!

No sleep for ocm...

Still day time in paradise isn't it ???

results?

First Gigabyte board for me, still trying to figure out the magic sauce. :Dizzy:

OCM :thumbsup:

vcore(1.45-1.55) + bios(with internal cpu pll fix)(enabled) + vccio(1.-1.2v) + cpumulti(51-infinity) + bclk(104-105)

Never mind the idiot host...

Is that a gold cup for that 01 run OC? Lol! http://hwbot.org/community/submissio...0_103882_marks Who needs a e8600 anymore? :taunt:

117k was a buggy run :)

so far best of 102k

Still benching, shooting for some 5770 gold in 3D01 but keep getting buggy runs :Dizzy:

OCM :thumbsup:

Best non buggy run of the night. http://hwbot.org/community/submissio...0_102700_marks

http://i464.photobucket.com/albums/r...EMI/102700.png

A bit more tweaking to go. Not bad for a first run, eh :good:

OCM :thumbsup:

Nice! What temps for those settings? :good:

1vCore accurate?

Nice runs OCM! God you got to love these Sandy Bridges. I hope mine is good. Of course I have yet to see bad results with any SB's yet. I ordered mine from the egg the second they came out but still ended up with a L041B229 when everyone else ended up with a L040XXX.

L041 and L040 ....i think they're closely related..

How's your super talents running on the P67? Are they able to run at said specs?

With vcore @ 1.5v I'm seeing a max core temp of 41c @ full load (using real temp and aida64) A/C blasting 4c air 2' away for two triple rads to cool the cpu/gpu.

No, cpu-z isn't reading right.

These Super Talent Speed's are 2000 7-7-7-21 @ 1.65v. With SB there is no 2000 divider so I have to run them @ either 1866 or 2133. So far they are running solid at 2140 8-8-8-20 @ 1.68v but I think cas7 will need a little more voltage at that speed. Still need to see how tight I can get them @ 1866.

OCM :thumbsup:

whoa, nice man! you using lod and d3d overrider and run order?
