Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Depending on the batch you can run it at 5.3 to 5.6 on air but the voltage will go through the roof & you could degrade the cpu within days. The lowest voltage I got stable 5.0ghz was about 1.39.

I find 4.6ghz to be a fine intermediary. It stays within the 1.35v specification on most batches and the performance is equal to a i7 990x at about 4.2ghz. It's a great 24/7 clock frequency at this point

i would like to see a screenshot of a prime95 test ran for a few hours with the 4.9 oc. and would be very curious to see the temperatures.

I got the max safe voltage wrong btw, its 1.38, not 1.35.

it was either XS or OC.net that worked with intel to discover the cause of 2600/2500k deaths and it was the overclockers using >1.38v that caused rapid deterioation.

most are getting 4.8Ghz at less than 1.38 anyway.

i just want to mention...
PLZ dont OC your System all the Time...
its really expensive...
24/7 @ 400watt good luck
just make 2 profiles and switch befor playing

the values should be nearly the same as for the sandybrdige

all applications should run fine on stock clock...
expect dolphin

3.0 GHz 13% 8%
3.33 GHz 25% 18%
3.66 GHz 37.5% 24.4%
3.8 GHz 42.5% 45.5%
4.0 GHz 50% 95.7%

Actually I have a 650W OCZ Z-series PSU in each of the rigs so the juice is sufficient, 400W is dirt low for this kind of equipment.
Hell is there even someone today that run their machines with 400W?
And besides I don't care what it costs or how expensive it is, that's the least of the worries.

I'm not going to run this as a 24/7 OC, the only reason I did this was to see how much FPS in Dolphin I could get with around 4.4GHz

I'm going with stock clock once I have seen what I wanted to see, I'm not really into this kind of business.
Anyway I'm excited to see when I get home from work to see how the prime tests went.

Hopefully I can start playing with Dolphin today.

Any of the newer builds you guys can recommend?

245W,CPU @ 3.52GHZ
Eco Friendly

Haha you're trying to save the environment?

again... i am curious what temps you get under prime95 at 4.9ghz.

I don't have any screendumps on that and I honestly don't remember the temps.
I won't do it again just because, you only do it once and besides it wasn't stable.

The ones provided here were the only ones I took during the time.

EDIT:

Downloaded Build 7442 64-bit now, will play with that a little.

fwiw, I get >=100% speed on my stock 2600k. The only games that go lower are the really troublesome ones like Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2 and such. Really no reason to try and kill your new hardware
