Every CPU is different, just stress test and see what yours is capable of. 1.35V is a good place to start for 4.6GHz, yes

Hi Dazz, On my rig 4.6 @ 1.32V with HT on - 27C idle 62C max temps during Prime 95. I think I have one of the good chips! Andrew

I tried 1.34v @ 4.6Ghz. Not gonna happen. I just got a bsod in FSX. 0x124.

It appears I have the odd one out when it comes to chips

Im not even going to run prime95 at this level. I'm gonna bring things down a bit. and run it again

Add a bit more vCore. Don't just give up because you got 1 BSOD.

Shoot. Go for 5Ghz @ 1.5V, yiiiihaw!!! PS. If temps are over 90c, lower it lol... Gonna be with air-cooling probably...

You know they'll take you literally, Word Not Allowed. By the way, what voltage are you at for 5? I couldn't break 4.9 without pumping in 1.41 or better, which is irritating because 4.8 stable takes 1.33. That's almost a .1v difference for 100 MHz! 5.0 wasn't stable until 1.46-1.48 (can't remember).

I will not go near 5ghz if it takes 1.5v. I spent 2100USD on this machine. I dont want it to die in a year!

I was afraid of that (reading the lower post). Whatcha gonna do, people can't read irony...I'm at 1.5, not afraid of it dying! Right now clocked to 4.8, since it seems like it has a boot-bug at 5.0, but otherwise stable. Same Vcore though.

I'm at 5.1 mhz on vcore 1.44. Had to bump the vcore as the system would BSOD during the last few minutes of occt.

I'm at 5.1 mhz on vcore 1.44.

Wow, that must be really awesome for FSX!! PS. Please don't take this post as a measure, since 5.1 @ 1.44 is EXTREME rarity. It's one of those 1/1000 or maybe even more chips that can achieve that.

It's pretty good at very high settings, but not perfect, I suspect we will need > 8 ghz, before FSX runs with no excuses.

I guess you didn't get my joke, now did you?

Right Now I'm at 4.6Ghz on air. According to Bios idle temp was 45C. But according to Core Temp the average temp between all four cores was around 31-35C. I tried to push to 5.0Ghz at 1.41v and The computer wouldnt even boot. So I guess if I get that message, that means My CPU is saying NO?

As long as you're willing to reduce processor time to failure you can go up to whatever you're comfy with to voltage wise. Just don't expect flawless long term performance when you subject your processor to voltages above spec. Here is Intel's basic statement on the issue. Though it may not have been written for your specific processor, I'm thinking the logic is pretty similar. This was from the data sheet for my now dead QX9650: Absolute Maximum and Minimum Ratings

Table 2-2 specifies absolute maximum and minimum ratings only and lie outside thefunctional limits of the processor. Within functional operation limits, functionality andlong-term reliability can be expected. At conditions outside functional operation condition limits, but within absolutemaximum and minimum ratings, neither functionality nor long-term reliability can beexpected. If a device is returned to conditions within functional operation limits afterhaving been subjected to conditions outside these limits, but within the absolutemaximum and minimum ratings, the device may be functional, but with its lifetimedegraded depending on exposure to conditions exceeding the functional operationcondition limits. At conditions exceeding absolute maximum and minimum ratings, neither functionalitynor long-term reliability can be expected. Moreover, if a device is subjected to theseconditions for any length of time then, when returned to conditions within thefunctional operating condition limits, it will either not function, or its reliability will beseverely degraded.
