October 5, 201114 yr Will it be pushed further......CPU are getting better and better by the day... http://www.legitreviews.com/news/11610/
October 5, 201114 yr I am able to do 4.8GHz with only 1.35V. I have it at 4.7GHz and 1.36V currently but aim to go higher. I guess I may have got a good one. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
October 6, 201114 yr 2600K 4.6 @ 1.31V. Is the difference between 5 and 4.6 that much? Andrew Dixon"If common sense was compulsory everyone would have it but I am afraid this is not the case"
October 6, 201114 yr I don't think so, just depends if you get a good chip. Maybe we get some good ones down here in Melbourne Dicko. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
October 6, 201114 yr 2600K 4.6 @ 1.31V. Is the difference between 5 and 4.6 that much?Yes! I'm always surprised when I push for 4.8+ how much my voltage increases to maintain stability. It's like there's a barrier right there. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
October 6, 201114 yr Yes! I'm always surprised when I push for 4.8+ how much my voltage increases to maintain stability. It's like there's a barrier right there.I think I will leave mine at 4.6!In one of your previous posts I think you stated the performance gains between 4.5 and 4.8 GHz was very little.

October 6, 201114 yr My 2600K is at 4.6 as well. I can get to 4.8 but the increase in voltage and temps is not worth it IMHO Glenn Ryzen 3700X, X570 Pro Wifi, 32GB 3600mhz RAM, Nvidia Titan Xp "Galactic Empire", RM750x PSU, H700 case, 2x NVMe M2 SSD, 1x SATA SSD
October 6, 201114 yr I am at 5.1 at 1.44, I am satisfied with the temps thanks to the corsair H80. They should have really pushed that chip harder, it sounds like they could get it all the way up to 5.5. For an extra 500 mhz, I would consider upgrading to that chip.

Is that a safe voltage? I thought 1.40v was too much. I'm at 4.7 @1.35v with rock solid stability. I hope that this new MSI mobo stands the test of time. I would love to go to 5.0. but I'm afraid to go to 1.44v. MSFS
October 7, 201114 yr Author This remind me of my own CPU @ 4.67GHz and some time later the 990X came out, you can overclock the 990X as high as mine with less voltage and less heat....I'm pretty sure I can push that 990X at around 4.85 > 4.9GHzGHz on air with less or around the same voltage as my 980X so this new 2700K may be pushed at around 5.4GHz give & take with the same voltage you need for 5.0Ghz on the 2600K... By the way, here is one for the guys with a watercooled rig, I'm thinking of watercooling mine (I know nothing about water cooling) and as you know the Gigabyte UD-9 come with a water block already installed on the board so what are the best custom part I can get to cool off the CPU and the mobo (see pic below), best radiator, best CPU block best pump I mean best everything....
October 7, 201114 yr @DJJose: I don't know if it's a safe voltage for every day use, but my PC gets used only for flightsim, also given the cost of the chip(I used to have a 980x) if it burns out, I figure I'll get another one, just the cost of the hobby

I wanted to overclock quickly, so I jumped to 1.5. I saw an Intel chart that said 1.52 was the recommended limit, and I also saw an ASUS video where they were running a 2600K at 5.2 Ghz with 1.5v.

I've seen the Intel spec sheet too but like many people I am slightly incredulous about it, so congratulations for taking a pioneering attitude. How long have you been running it up at those giddy heights? Any problems yet? Tim 14900ks, RTX4090, 64Gb@6000-30-36-36-T2, Samsung 990Pro 2Tb , Dell G3223Q 32" 4k Gsync + 27" secondary monitor.

How long have you been running it up at those giddy heights? Any problems yet? Tim I only flight sim with it, so it has had about 6-7 hours of use so far without issues. I am going to drop the voltage some, and hope to end up somewhere in the mid 1.4x range. My i7 920 ran at 4.2 Ghz with 1.44vcore for around 2 years of use without any issues, so I would think that voltage range should be reasonable for the 2600K as well. Shane Gavin
October 7, 201114 yr My 2600K is at 4.6 as well. I can get to 4.8 but the increase in voltage and temps is not worth it IMHO For me the same, Speed & Heat ratio best at 4.6
