Just updating at the top.

CPU: Intel i5 2500k @ 5.1 Ghz
Motherboard: Asus Sabretooth P67
Memory: Kingston 4GB 1333mhz DDR3
Video: Sapphire 5770 @ 900/1300
HDD: Seagate Barracuda Sata 3 500GB
Case: Coolermaster Basic Case...
Cooling: CM Hyper 212 with some minor sandage
Thermal Paste: AS5 /w Credit Card Application

I did this with the hear listed above and one rear case fan. More cooling is needed for the initial spike when CPU is maxxed out. I had to back down from 5.2 due to this. CPU does drag to 88C on prolonged stress tests but levels out to about 84-85 once heat dissipation can take place after the initial spike. Makes me wish I still had my FreeZone.

Notes: Need a few more case fans.

Listed is a windows Experience Index so far since I realized I did have Paint application.

52 Multi = Crash @ 1.500 vcore

lowered multi to 51 and raised vcore to 1.525

Achieved 5107 Mhz

Getting more drunk.

Ill do some tweaking and pictures when im sober tomorrow.

I'm not overclocking any more, Nova Scotia power rates are going thru the roof haha.

Very nice overclock and I'm glad you could get those mount screws before I took off for the weekend.

Im suprised next day I wasn't cleaning vomit off my open case...

Besides that. The Vdroop in these chips is sickening.

Example 1.5vcore under load = 1.420 (PURE EXAMPLE)

But it's pretty extreme. I'm gonna have to take some sober time and adjust the LLC. Then I can probably get a higher clock with stability. I did find a majority of chips hit a wall at 47-48X. So I feel lucky in that aspect. Only downfall it's a power hog. I know these 32mn chips dont like the high voltages but hey... No risk no reward. Or maybe ill be rewarded with the scent of burnt silicon..

Bad note on the P67 boards. They dont like waking up from prolonged sleep mode. Apparantly this is a bios issue and they are "working on it".

Bought a p67 Board and 2500k thanks Flama22
