Absolutely amazing you can run this CPU with these settings and temps!I have the same CPU, the same cooler, the Asus P8P67, and I copied your settings, but even with 4.7 Ghz it BSOD...What´s the secret?The Asus Deluxe?Or you just got lucky in the "CPU Lottery"?!

Absolutely amazing you can run this CPU with these settings and temps!Yes, I know. That's why I've gone through the trouble to show it off. In some ways its been a curse, though....I have the same CPU, the same cooler, the Asus P8P67, and I copied your settings, but even with 4.7 Ghz it BSOD...Now, I did have your model mobo and a different 2500k that I took back to Microcenter immediately after hearing of the recall. It did 4.8 with no problem (never tried 5.0 -only had the kit for a few days) ....but that's another story for a different day. lWhat´s the secret?No secret. That's why it's amazing. I can't help but believe that this CPU was designed for 5.0.The Asus Deluxe?Yes (B2) bios 1503Or you just got lucky in the "CPU Lottery"?!I think I did. lol ....maybe I should put it on the market? <g>

How do you get it that cold? I´ve also upgraded to SB but I have problems witch the temps. On a 4.8 GHz oc (which obviousely isn´t that complicated) I get temps of arround 90°C when testing with burntest or prime.

He was just lucky, got a "1 in a Million CPU"!What´s your volt Steffen?Careful with them temps, way too high with a Scythe Mugen...Don´t use Asus Auto Tune, it´s CPU suicide!!

Well, as I´m not that expereinced with oc´ing I left the BIOS oc the system. It gave me BLCK 103MHz and an multiplier of 42. This setting is stable since 2 days. I´ve allready clocked it down to 4.5 GHz but the trouble with the temps aren´t gone. Got arround 80°C in stress test with maximums at 90°C. The Vcore at 4.8 (if I recall it right) was about 1.38V.I´ve opened a seperate topic for that temp and oc thing. Maybe you can contribute there. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/334579-my-oc-experience/

You don't want to adjust BCLK on Sandy Bridge systems, that's a recipe for a fried chip. Set that back to 100 ASAP.

very true, and might not help with temps also. I don't really know since I've never tried it myself and never will

[Kosta 122]

I've read that BCLK should be set to 100 or 100.3, just next to 100, so that it doesn't drop below 100. I remember reading on some overclocker forum...
