They certainly try to :)
Some load temp testing just to see where Corsair H50-1 cooling is at for Core i7 2600K L038A660. I did quick 3 pass Linx run and took screenshots at exact same time in the benchmark run.
Corsair H50-1 + Thermaltake 120x25mm 81cfm fan push

Corsair H50-1 +...
As explained here, after remounting Corsair H50-1 with proper mount and thermal paste contact, I managed to a bit more stability when it comes to all core benchmarking i.e. wprime 1024M at 5.2Ghz 1.490v bios (1.512v idle while ET6 reports 1.50v) windows was passable. But stil this Core i7 2600K...
5001Mhz at 1.380v
2x2GB Corsair Dominator GT 2000C7
@ DDR3-2134Mhz 7-7-7-24 at 1.74v
Only tightened tRFC 88 and set 1T CMD rate manually for first run @5001Mhz. Strange as I mentioned before with 21.33Mhz memory multiplier at 7-7-7-24 timings with 34x cpu multi 100.2bclk had issues, but...
Elpida Hyper Testing on Gigabyte P67A-UD7
The A-Data 2000X Elpida BBSE didn't like 7-8-7x at 2133Mhz as it's a low vdimm 1.58-1.60v type of modules so higher vdimm needed would error out. So swapping over to some Elpida Hyper testing. Tried one 2x2GB SuperTalent 2200C8 Elpida Hyper kit and...
First Sandy Bridge cpu run with Intel Core i7 2600K L038A660 with Gigabyte P67A-UD7. The Gigabyte P67A-UD7 was flashed from shipping bios F3 to F7f and immediately clocked it up on both cpu and memory end. 2x2GB A-Data 2000X - Elpida BBSE modules left on auto main and sub timings and set to...
curious what is your 2600k batch number ? compiling a list http://i4memory.com/f55/intel-core-i5-2400-2500-2500k-core-i7-2600-2600k-batch-numbers-list-27701/ :)
New personal high DDR3 memory frequency for triple channel on Asus P6T6 WS Revolution @DDR3-2462.8Mhz 8-8-8-24 1T at 1.74v with just 1.50v CPU VTT with water cooled i7 980X !
@DDR3-2000Mhz 8-8-8-24 1T at 1.64v
First safe voltage for 8-8-8-24 1T clocks, how about 8x32M Pi @DDR3-2000Mhz...
Quick runs seeing as 2 modules out of 6 can do 900mhz 6-6-6-20 1T at 1.7v memtest86+ v4.10 and the other 4 modules only do 894mhz 6-6-6-20 1T at 1.7v memtest86+ v4.10, then for just single 32M Pi test, 6x2GB Super Talent 2200C8 falling in around:
879Mhz 6-6-6-20 1T at 1.7v with CPU VTT 1.4125v...

Thanks, maybe a bit more tweaking will get you there :)
How about DDR3-2305Mhz 8-8-8-24 at 1.66v air cooled memory :D
6GB Kingston 2000CAS8 KHX2000C8D3T1K3/6GX
@DDR3-2184Mhz 8-8-8-24 1T at 1.66v
Next step was to drop the Uncore multiplier one more step from 23x to 22x. You'd think this would...
6GB Kingston 2000CAS8 KHX2000C8D3T1K3/6GX scaling tests, when I reduced the Uncore frequency multiplier from 24x to 23x - I reduced the Uncore frequency from 4128Mhz to 4071Mhz and thus managed to jump from DDR3-2064Mhz to DDR3-2124Mhz at the same voltages of 1.45v CPU VTT and 1.66v VDIMM all...
Haha, i'm everywhere :D
My 2nd fastest PB for 32M - yeah H20 cooled only :)
The resulting 32M Pi time ended up my 2nd fastest PB time just behind my W3520 + DFI UT X58-T3EH8 @4794Mhz H20 time of 7min 24.422s
4769Mhz with DDR3-2167Mhz 7-7-7-21 at 1.8v for 7min 24.937s. Very close to the limits...
