My old CPU is drawing with my new one!

It's going to be a sad day when the old i5 760 beats my 2500K. One that day, I'll overclock the 2500K to 4.9GHz.

Nope. It will go higher.

Note on the OC: Chip maxes out at 4.8GHz with HT on. 5GHz was easy enough with it off. Going to try 5.2 next, maybe higher.
5.2= no boot. 5.1 is fine though. Still not good enough though.

Next up better cooling to get an even higher clock (as 1.525V is really hot on a 212EVO).
Yeah not bad for a dual core with no HT.
Is like 2066.13 the highest single threaded will go or something? lol
Most likely reason, EVGA motherboard. They are horrible.
Seems like you tested the current version. The beta of the new one can be downloaded at the first page of this thread.
Also, you weren't at stock testing the current I see ;P
Yeah I was lol. I have Turbo enabled ;D I'm too poor for an aftermarket cooler so I just enable turbo. I'll find a way to capture my screen tomorrow and re-run the test and upload it specially for you Smile![]()
4.3ghz is an oc mate
Turbo is only 3.8ghz on 1 core.
He probably has 'performance mode' enabled on his ASUS P8Z68-V. I have that mode enabled on my board too, it overclocks your CPU by 1GHz (so the 2500K goes to 4.3GHz) and it overclocks your RAM slightly too.
Shiver me timbers.... I forgot all about that. That is what I have lol... Man I need to get a brain...
But it only OC's when its needed, so like an Extra TurboOtherwise my CPU would melt with the crappy cooler it has now.
