Okay well, I managed to successfully OC to 4.2 Ghz with CPU core voltage set to Adaptive mode with an additional 1.200v
Not as excited as all the things Ive read about lead me to believe I may have one of those factory duds that aren't going to make it to 4.6 Ghz without some serious overhauling.
System score was 562 for Image editing, H.264 Video Encoding, Multitasking. No idea if that's good.
Not going to try any stress testing.
Update:
Im using RealBench v1.1, not 2. Just dl'd v2. We'll see how that one goes.
Update2:
On Realbench v2. I scored a 62556. Im going to see how high I can overclock on 1.200v before it crashes, I hope I can at least get to 4.4 Ghz, maybe 4.5 Ghz at 1.250v. Is there any risk to volts being too high?
Update 3:
Sooo obviously I got this to work for me. Highest clock I could get was 4.4Ghz at 1.300v. When I switched to XMP mode for my memory, I couldn't run the Realbench v2. I think I needed to up the power a tad more. When does increasing the CPU power become an issue?
