You should probably think about it since you did go and buy the overclocking version of the CPU. :p The 'K' means it has an unlocked multiplier. I think Intel even guarantee an overclock up to a certain point on those versions.
Well it was a friend of mine who built the computer for me, I just payed for it But yah, I can probably do that when I have the energy for it.
I wanted to make a radeon drivers joke, but then i remembered that my last 2 geforce updates ended in BSoD.
Just to show how 100Mhz OC diff. play out 4.3 Ghz what does Ref.Match mean? And can you list the whole wall of results, not just the top?
Im probably going to be VERY LOW. Maybe the worst. Atleast i am going to actually upgrade my CPU to an i5/i7 Skylake for my next computer upgrade. Wish me luck. EDIT:My pc almost died. EDIT 2:That was not advanced benchmark.
Is 4.3ghz what you are running daily? Also, I'm too lazy to go through all those post and sort them by points... But if anyone wants to do it, I will edit it into my post. :D
Ref. Match is how close the render output is to the reference image, it ensures benchmarking results are reliable in relation to other peoples' benchmarks.
Was just interested to see what overclock you get out of your 6600K. I'm at 4.4ghz because 4.5 needs a big increase of voltage and I'm already at 1.35v.
I know I could go higher if I had a better grasp of ASUS' adaptive vcore settings, after the last Bios update I now have multiple fields for adaptive settings. So my OC runs on full auto Vcore (0.76 - 0.86 in Idle, 1.316 when speedstep ups the clock, 1.280 when all cores are under load) I still wonder where you pulled that "My system uses 30 watts in idle" from. I got it down to 60 watts but that seems bottomline. Maybe all the fans, disks, Rom drives ... make up for 30 watts.
CPU getting a bit older. Still performing pretty well and can play most games on almost max with pretty decent FPS. GPU XFX Radeon HD 7970 OC 3GB
94/458 (single / multi). Thats on an I7 950 non overclocked (3.07GHZ). As well as being slow compared to todays CPU's its also got a monster 130W TDP. P.S. McGyver - Update the leaderboards you lazy bum
updated top scores. BTW wookie, adaptive mode is absolutely annoying, I tried it using 1.35 + 0.005 offset and it went straight to 1.5v under Windows. So i leave the offset on auto which means I get about +- 0.020v. Or sometimes 1.4v, who knows whats going on there.
I got it figured out for now: 4.3 Ghz with adaptive mode on 1.200 Volts and offset on auto -> 50 watts in IDLE and less sound from the PSU. Voltage now only jumps between 4 values instead of adjusting itself all the freaking time (0.785/1.000/1.205/1.225). You/I can further influence the automatic offset using Load Line Calibration, but I don't see the need for that. I further forced a lower System Agent voltage with no impact on stability, but at the same time the "CPU standby Voltage" has risen by exactly what I took away from the System Agent. Still quite confusing If it helps, I've seen some other people with that CPU also lacking the single core field while some others do have it.
You have to check the advanced benchmark option in the file menu for the single core score. RTFM, MOO! @wookie I doubt 4.3 is stable with 1.2v.
