Waco Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 From what I've seen : 4.8GHz will take around 1.45v . 5GHz will take anything from 1.5v to 1.55v depending on your luck Even 1.45 is enough to degrade the chip over time though... I won't put more than 1.4 volts through mine and it's a larger process node. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but theres 50% more cores going from 4 to 6 so higher voltage is inevitable anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d6bmg Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Not dream, will be reality You already got your answer: Even 1.45 is enough to degrade the chip over time though...

Waco Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Yeah but theres 50% more cores going from 4 to 6 so higher voltage is inevitable anyway No no no! More current, not more voltage. More voltage will kill it just like any SB chip (only faster). I understand that more cores sounds fun...but having played games on a 16 core machine...you can do way better with a single high-clocked quad/hex core than anything multi-socket.
