wevsspot Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Pushing the non "K" version of the i7 2600 to 4.0Ghz IS NOT possible. You don't have an adjustable cpu multiplier on the standard i7 2600. So your only option is adjusting the base clock and socket 1155 doesn't like that much. You might get 1-3Mhz out of it before it poops. So essentially you are stuck at stock clocks when using the non "K" versions of the socket 1155 i5 and i7 cpus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redspeed93 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Why did you buy the non k CPU in the first place, if you are planning to OC? Aren't they almost exactly the same price? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

red1776 Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 o one more thing...... what the hell is this and for what do i use it??? i got like 3 of them with each GPU Those are extension cables for the voltage check points on the PCB to make them easily accessible.

See your owner's manual. These handy mini-leads make it easy to check true voltages using a multimeter.

LuckyDeath Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 Sorry but ya can't OC it if it's not the K series (no 'pushing'... that is also known as 'overclocking' ) Good news is that CPU will use its turbo boost to get you up to 3.8GHz when you need it, and for gaming and multitasking that is more than enough for most people. Should still be a solid rig! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

l1o2l Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Wevsspot said it. The only way is through the BCLK. You'll only be able to squeeze a couple of mhz. Try 105. That will get you close to 4ghz. Edited August 24, 2011 by l1o2l Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 If the multiplier is locked at 32 then that will only move you to. 3.36ghz outside of Turbo. 160mhz is not worth that at all. If it was 400 or more MHz then that would be great but its not worth it. That is 3.99 under Turbo though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
