Migo Posted December 29, 2010 Author Posted December 29, 2010 (edited) Dammmmn, 4.8 at 1v near enoughThe Vcore in the pic I posted was around ~1.5v. Cpu-Z isn't able to read out the Vcore correctly yet. The second 2500k which I'm using now is a lot better to overclock and runs at 4.7Ghz with 1.36v vcore, the one posted in the pic needed 1.45v. How do you think the i7 2600k will compare from a dcs players view? Do you think the i7 will overclock as well as your i5? Right now the i7 2600k can even be overclocked higher, to 5.1Ghz or further because of the clock ratio and some bios restrictions, difficult to explain. In general the 2600k will perform the same as a 2500k in DCS when both run at the same frequency. Edited December 29, 2010 by Migo

I have an i5 2500K on order along with a ASUS P8P67 chipset as soon as they are released officially. They aren't around officially until the 9th though according to the Intel website and press releases I have read. Where did you order them? My supplier is a reputable UK PC Hardware store so willing to wait, I'm just very very curious. Especially as Intel have NDA's with all the magazine publishers and hardware websites until official release of all the relevant hardware performance figures by Intel themselves. J.

Krebs20 Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Thanks for the heads up. Would you say on average you would be able to overclocks the 2600 higher than your 2500. I mean on average, I know that every CPU has its own limitations. Can you sight the source for the 5.1 Ghz overclock. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Migo Posted December 30, 2010 Author Posted December 30, 2010 I can post the source tomorrow, I'm going to sleep now. I think you will be able to overclock the i7 2600k higher than the 2500k but nor for everyday use. The 2500k and 2600k will need the same amount of voltage for the same clock. If a 2500k needs 1.45v for 4.7ghz for example, which is alot of voltage and is very hot, the 2600k will need 1.55v for 5.1Ghz and will need too much voltage and will be too hot to have it running 24/7 on that clock. greetz, Migo
