When do you next plan to upgrade your Desktop PC? A: Probably within the next two years, although, I would like to get a SSD sooner. What do you look for when selecting a processor upgrade? A: A good price to performance ratio, usually...

1. Do you currently own an SSD and are you planning on purchasing one in the near future? If so, which brands are you considering (Intel, OCZ, Crucial, Kingston, Patriot Memory, Samsung, or other)? Not currently, would consider Intel,...

^You need to post a screenshot while under load with everything displayed. The original post of this thread explains everything.

Looks good but you could've ran Prime for a bit longer to confirm stability. 12 hours+ depending on whether you used 10 min or 15 min FFTs.

I would try disabling Spread Spectrum and lowering your voltage. Not all but most 2500Ks can do 4.5GHz between 1.28v and 1.32v.

Looks good except for a couple things. You might want to disable Spread Spectrum as that is why your BCLK is reading @ 99 MHz, also, try using Prime64 version 26.6.

Yeah it is a gamble, luck of the draw but worth it. My very first 2500K was a terrible chip, took around 1.44v I believe just to do 4.5GHz, I ended up selling it and the next one I got was alot better. I'd do it though if I were you...

The only test you need to run is Blend unless you want to test a specific FFT length. Small FFT = CPU and large FFT = RAM if I recall correctly.

Are you still looking? I have a 2500K if you're still interested.

Why disable C1E & Speedstep but enable C3, C6? Usually it is vice versa as you want the processor to downclock when idle especially during higher overclocking. I wouldn't want 1.4v+ going through my CPU 24/7.
