Well, Evbot told me off but I decided to live on the edge a bit more and boy she threw a wild fit. Made a few 6250mhz runs and kept lowering the spi times but then I aught a nasty BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP! and decided to save it for tomorrow ;) and play it smart :D Tomorrow I'll start treating her like a voltage whore and upping the volts like everyone else. Pretty good progress so far tho, nutting amazing but good.

Amazing speed at low volts Kal! Ride that bitch hard next time!

Yah, I sorta threw some extra vcore at the end to just make sure I wasnt dreaming that she's got alot more in her. Looks about right and looks like I may be able to reach 6.5ghz bench speed. All I have is my dreams :D

We know these chips will take 1.9vcore so even if its exponential between 6250mhz and 6.5ghz, it should still be do-able.

These clocks were at around -175c so I have a bit of cold left to use. On average it takes 15L to walk up each session before the chip and Evbot scream "chill out!"

You must be having a blast with this. Have you tried pwning some 6ghz 3DMark 01's? I bet you could get some major love there.

I'm having a blast so far :D

I have not run anything besides 2d benches yet, I remember someone here saying something about i5 not being strong in 01, I'll find out for myself at the end.

Well it never hurts to try. I am sure it is better than the i7 in 01. Then again I could just be talking out the side of my mouth on this.

epic Kal!

Looks like you have one of the chips Bren is dying to get his hands on there :D

I sure hope so Dent, still very early in the process :thumbsup:

anything at 6+ ghz is strong in 01 lol. Nice work man.:good:

Don't believe it guys....sounds good on paper, but your looking at one Rom who spent 40L at 6.1GHz and a 280 at 975 on the core and couldn't even break 95k in 01. As soon as I put the 280 back on the 920 at 5GHz, pulled a 102k...that platform blows for 01 and aq3....sad but true.

On the upside, looks like youve got yourself a good chip Kal, go get em bro!
