shiver_8 Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Sorry about it being across 2 monitors and having the SuperPi just sitting there lol, but this is my new record on air: http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk274/db8_photo/49ghz.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewr05 Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Nice, but 1.7V on air?Ouch, at least his temps are decent... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrow21 Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 I thought 1.4 was dangerous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieg1337 Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Good job, now you pretty much ruined your CPU. Now you will get bad results and might start having issues running it at normal speeds. Seriously, going to that high voltage will only let you be happy for like a few tests and then your CPU gets to blow and die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkfuneral1337! It CAN cause damage, if it's still working, it hasn't! Also, running one SuperPI calculation for a quick screenshot at that voltage is usually no big deal, running that 24/7 is a different story though.

shiver_8 Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 Hahahaha I have no problems running this voltage at all. I have run 1.5v 24/7 for the past year now with no signs of any degrading. I had it at that voltage for maybe 5 minutes tops. I tried 5 ghz but it needs more like 1.8v and I told myself I'd stop at 1.7. Also I have another CPU on the way, either an E8600 or a Q9650. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AIinc Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Both good choices shiver_8, you'd probably get higher clocks from the E8600, but for work, simultaneous tasks and music or video decoding the Q9650 will be a great choice, and is a great overclocker to, but possibly not as high as the E8600? With either I think you'd be happy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) Good job, now you pretty much ruined your CPU. Now you will get bad results and might start having issues running it at normal speeds. Seriously, going to that high voltage will only let you be happy for like a few tests and then your CPU gets to blow and die. wow......no, just no. Anyways.... Nice overclock, what cooler are you using? Most i did on air was 1.592v with my E7200 which got it to 4.4GHz using a Xigmatek HDT-S1283 in a push-pull config. The lga 775 45nm can easily take high voltages for quick bench runs, something i always enjoyed EDIT: I noticed the xigmatek heatsink in your sig, but is that what you actually used? Those temps are really low! Good job! Edited November 9, 2009 by damian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Idling in the mid 50s is not low. Were those BIOS settings or are you actually using windows programs to overclock? Background tasks got it to 70, and I am willing to bet full load(if it didn't insta-crash) would break 85c. Half a second worth of superpi is hardly a CPU load - did it crash on the second loop?? Show me sustained peak load temps and a superpi 1M final score and I'll be impressed . That voltage is still silly high though...no matter what the temps or how short the time is, you can kill or permanently damage a chip through too high voltage, but if you have another on its way I would be interested in you pushing it until it died to see just where that point is . Maybe I'll do that with my 45nm wolfdale when I do my next cpu/mobo/ram upgrade ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiver_8 Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Yes I did use the Xigmatek cooelr for this. The point wasn't to get stability it was just a fun screenie. And I started from 4.4ghz at bootup then used EasyTuner6 to get the rest of the way. At 100% full load on Prime 95 small fft it was at 83C. Yes, definetely unsafe, but it was only there for less than 5 minutes and it's on a $30 air cooler. Also the SuperPi run was from when it was at 4.7ghz and it froze lol. Like I said, I wasn't trying for any stability, just a little suicide run. I also realized now that the reason it locked up after this screenie is because I didn't bump the voltage on the ram and once you get to about 1100mhz it needs 2.3V instead of the 2.2v default. Oh well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
