Waco Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 I guess you have a 3930K I have had mine on 6 X79 boards FYI. Nope, a power hungry Q6600 under water. The motherboard's VRMs disintegrated in a very loud, very bright, burst of flames. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drdeath Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Overclocking SandyBridge is pretty straightfoward. Set the turbo to 4.6, 4.8, 5Ghz and let the system take over. If it is not stable, raise the vcore slowly and a little PLL and stress test it. Watch your temps and keep them under 75 under load. JJ from Asus has a nice tutoral on asus boards.

Waco Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 All your boards self destruct. Not mine. LOL Perhaps I just push mine a lot harder. With my overboard cooling setup I generally find the limits of everything pretty easily. If I was limited by heat I'd probably break a lot less stuff.

Only blew 1 board using LN2. That shat is volitile when it boils... Edited April 28, 2012 by Drdeath Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drdeath Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) And do you run full 12 hour+ 100% load stability runs at that kind of voltage? Should I answer. I would think you would not ask a silly question like that. Ya think I have a endless supply of dry ice?

Stonerboy779 Posted April 29, 2012 Posted April 29, 2012 Should I answer. I would think you would not ask a silly question like that. Ya think I have a endless supply of dry ice? Then the question remains who pushes their boards harder? 12hours at 5GHz vs 12mins at 6GHz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drdeath Posted April 30, 2012 Posted April 30, 2012 LOL I run all my stuff at 5GHz daily. AMD and Intel. What is hte big deal? Ya act like 5GHz is the bomb and it aint anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
