Have a look @ my overclock to 5.0 each step all i did was bump vcore and multi's running a 5-10 min prime run each time and made it to 5ghz....Its benchable @ 5 but not stable. i also noticed that my vcore jumps under load to 1.498 from the setting of 1.450. awfully close to 1.5v which i understand is the limit before cooking it.Temps are fine never leaving the high 50's underload. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Heres my settings via bios

Can you post a screen shot of you running the Prime95 and RealTemp showing lowest and highest temp w 100% CPU load also CPU-Z showing the voltage and clock.
Since I have never seen a chip runs 50c on 5.0GHz @ 1.45v+ 100% load with air.
If that is the case, you have one of the best chip ever produced for SB.
Need to get batch # of your CPU, too.

I can give you a 4.9 run but not 5 as i stated.. i cant run prime @ 5. also u mis read it runs mid to high 50's underload.. im not stating i have a golden chip i just wanna stablize it so i can go further... im new to intel fresh from amd so yea

even that is in 50c range. All I've seen is in the upper 60, 70c to 80c range with lower/similar voltage on water cooling.
So that is why I was wondering about your temp.
The CPU might be throttling to make it run lower than 5GHz, though.
Not sure till we see the screen shots.

ok so i added vcore to get prime to run thus added a few degrees so at 1.460 in the bios it spiked to 1.509 underload. i did it for the screenie so i got ballsyi could only run a short 1 min of prime as it crashes at 1minhute 45 secs

 

[soulxp]

lmao mid 50's? on 4.9ghz? you gotta be kidding me. water cooling cant even do that.

im asking for help not claiming i have a golden chip sir. Keep the critisism to yourself pls.

Nice. Your chip has potential to get high clock. (I guess not 5GHz stable, though..) You have good temp but Voltage is too high for 24/7 use.
But you might be able to get 4.8GHz stable with good temp.
You should set your Vcore first to say 1.425 and then see how high the multiplier goes. when you get BSOD, make the multiplier down 1 notch and do the stress test. Or put Vcore 1 notch.
Then work from there I think.
Since keeping higher voltage degrades the chip (so I heard) so longer you keep the 1.5 voltage, it'll get harder to keep the same frequency stable. Also some spike might kill the CPU.

Im just looking for the chips highest benchable speed. i run it at 4.7 24/7...also i im at a highervoltage than u reccomend because it will freeze on boot any lower @ 5ghz which is the hight (so far) ive been able to bench. im looking to fine tune the other voltages (pll) so i can back down the vcore a tad. 4.9 is stable but i dont want to 24/7 that high.. im aiming for highest benchable clock.

Good luck tweakin'!

Thanks tuna. But where do I start? I'm new to intels, so some of the behaviors at. 5 ghz are unfimiliar. If I add the 1.80000 pll what does it do actually. When I stress it I see no increase in voltage(other than normal spike of (.020-.022v) when I add pll ? Also for some reason it won't stay going to bench unless I have xmp enabled which volts ny RAM to 1.65.. also doesn't Intel recommend no more than 1.52v vcore max? Also it crashes after the bench going back to idle speeds, when the voltage drops
.

1.65v is the max voltage for RAM.
You should have LLC (Load Line Calibration) setting in bios.
Increase the level of it to make it stop crashing when the voltage drops to idle level.
You don't really need to change CPU PLL Voltage since it doesn't make much difference in stability. (Some say it does at higher clock....) But it just gives you more heat...
I turned mine down to 1.709 even though I'm OC'. I was trying to make it generate less heat as possible.
I'd suggest you to look through the forums or google each terms of the BIOS setting (especially anything involved with voltage) before you change it....
If you don't know what you are turning down/up, it won't help making your system stable.

Also I'd OC other way than you. You seems like you want to get 5GHz first.
But I'd do lower clock first then making sure its stable and have idea of what kind of temp you CPU generates. Then move up from there.

I have 4.9 stable enough 2 hours of prime. I'm not a ****** I don't clock high and cry when it doesn't work. I also can bench at way lower voltages with the xmp enabled was at 1.455v and can now bench at 1.430v

2 hours of Prime95, if it's a "blend" torture test, is not enough to say it's stable.
Since the intense workload starts around 8-10 hours into it.
Here's what I do.

The quickest way for me to test the stability is to run LinX w/AVX (W7 SP1 Required) Make sure you set the thread to "4" since it is a quad core. Then set it "ALL"(max memory setting. it'll give you 6000MB+ if you have 8GB RAM) run it 3 times w/o error and/or Run Prime95 with custom setting similar to "In-Place Large FFTs" but with 1024 as the minimum test size and "run ffts in-place" checked. Run that for 20 min or so.
If that passes and you like your OC, then run Prime95 "Blend" setting in torture test and run it at least 10+hours. If you get no error, I'd say it is stable.

Also if you are going to run LinX w/AVX, watch for the temp closely since it give you about 10c more than any test will give you. (well..that's the reason why I use it for quick stability test)
