Finally time someone started one. Will add more stuff in the morning after i clear it with a moderator to make it official.

I don't have Haswell yet but a friend got this:

 

[junkerde]

id like to know temps most of all.

 

[lolzcat]

Well that looks promising! Thanks for your response. I'm really hoping I can get 5GHz out of my 4670K. It'd be my first 5GHz chip.

I'm mainly curious about whether or not I'm going to need a water cooler to run a high 4GHz (4.8+) or 5GHz overclock.

Yeah. 5 ghz on .976V?

yes looks fishy to me....

 

[lolzcat]

I've read that the voltage is read incorrectly on Haswell chips with current sofware monitors so I am just ignoring any voltage readings I see.

......I call hax0rs

The Intel-hand-picked Haswells couldn't even get near touching that.

It took HARDOCP and their golden-chip 1.26v to get to 4.8Ghz...an unstable 4.8 at that.

I'm not sure about the temp and cooling, will ask him when he is online again.

As for the voltage, it could be a problem with software or it could be real considering this: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/intel_haswell_chip_cranked_5ghz_just_09v2013

Here's an article explaining Haswell voltage.
http://www.thetechrevolutionist.com/2013/04/stock-at-0856v-haswell-voltage.html?m=1

It also says that CPU-Z has yet to be upgraded to correctly read Haswell voltages, so they monitor it themselves to give an accurate idea of what the actual voltage is.

 

[dr/owned]

It's not doing 5Ghz on .9V when I've read reviews that said they had to go up to 1.35V or more to get 4.6+

 

[lolzcat]

Anyone have an idea on the max recommended voltage by Intel? I know with Sandy Bridge it was 1.5V, so I'd like to know what I'm working with on Haswell.

 

[lolzcat]

Link?

 

[deepor]

Those 0.9 V could just be the idle voltage, not the real voltage that's used when load is at 100 %. He perhaps didn't use fixed voltage settings, instead offset.

 

[OcN13]

No need for a link. There is no way it did 5gz with .9 volts. It probably has a c step enabled still or as we already know cpuz has to update to read it correctly.

Haha did you even read what he asked?

B/c you answered neither.

I also want to know. I know max voltage for 22nm is lower so I expect it to have about the same a IB or even a little lower., which was 1.35 max safe I think.

 

[lolzcat]

I was simply interested in the article he mentioned. I wasn't arguing with him?
