I'm just playing around with the rig in the sig. 4500mhz at 1.3V using "Regular" LLC and "Optimized" VRM Phase Control is pretty damn good. I'm seeing temps of 52C during BC2 and 58C during Intel Burn Test. It just passed 10 runs of IBT.
I got a BSOD at 4700 mhz with the same voltage settings, but setting a more aggressive load line calibration and phase control will allow it, I'm sure. The question is why? This thing is already noticeably faster than my i7 930 at 4ghz, and more mhz do not seem to be improving fps...
I'm paranoid about pushing voltage much past 1.3, and I'm paranoid about messing up what I have achieved by damaging or degrading either the proc or the mobo by pushing it a little further, running the stress test, etc, etc. But that magic 5G[H]z number beckons...
What to do!??
