So far I got: 4.5Ghz with 1.375 V : idle temp: 40, Full Load : 80

i have a rampage gene (mini atx) with corsair h80 and 32gb.. 4.5ghz at 1.32v idle 37 degrees load 65 (in winter) 70-80 in summer (i live in southern italy..)

I've an ASUS P9X79 and a thermalright macho 02 - Lukx what settings did you use to achieve your OC?

[lukx]

I setup everything like guy from ASUS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?featur...&v=Kx2z07sFM2I exept his Ghz and Vcore.

But after running Prime95 it was crashing and now I have 4.3 Ghz with 1.295 Vcore

[joconnell]

Much appreciated! I did a bios update and for some reason now no matter how early or often I hit del I can't get into my bios - must do another bios flash and see can I start fiddling

[lukx]

keep me posted

I did my 3930k on my Rampage IV x79 board super easily to 4.2 on water. I didn't really push it higher to be honest, but I'm sure I could go higher if needed.

[lukx]

Colin what voltage ? what water cooling you have? Corsair H80 , 100 ?

[MoonDoggie]

Corsair H100. I didn't manually tweak my voltage, my bios has some easy settings for a quick OC. I'll grab the vcore and stuff for you when I get home tonight.

OhI wanted to buy this Corsair H100 but I heard it's quite loud? Some high pitch sound can happen etc.

I bought 3 i7's 2600k a few years ago and OC them to 4.5 each, one of them burned the cpu with in a month

That's why I never wanted to even try OC. Equipment is a lot more expensive down here in SA
Last time I burned a CPU was when I was still in IT and a 486AT was King. CPU's still had pins and it could go in the slot any way - and apparently overheat in a few seconds if you drop it in the wrong way hehe

Well I got it replaced, after that I throttled them down to 4.0 and they run fine. I used to get a lot of kernell power messages under high OC, I'm sure its some how related...

I bought it and swapped out the fans on top with some really nice ones.
