i5 660 madness!
 

UPDATE PAGE 2

I am a pretty new member here, I think this is actually my second post, but that will not stop me from sharing some of the results I was able to achieve with my fantastic i5 660 ES chip on DICE cooling :)

Lets start with some 8800GTX 3D action...



After that I went after some 2D stuff and ended up with a phenomenal 272BCLK! Running almost 4.9Ghz uncore and ~2160 on the RAM, my pifast was an OK run :D
also knocked out a 1m at the same speed.

this is one SICK chip if you ask me!

thanks for looking!

Very nice!
Any plans to run any other benches? LN2 in the future?

if only I had a dewar....this would be a very nice chip for some wprime

Nice. I love clarkdales. Hella fun to overclock with. I had plans of getting a UD2h mobo myself but never got around to it. They can put out some major BCLK.

I'm not so much of a fan, really struggling with this 670 and ud5 :/

nicely done, I use my 655k clarkbar for 3D03 runs. Try it out sometime

really nice on DICE

yes, these boards are real monsters! I run this chip daily at 240x19 with only 1.43v VTT ;)

I am pretty sure I tried, but I had a run with my E8500 at 5.6 and the score was better. (although it had about 100Mhz on the i5)

thanks man! :)

now I just need some nice GPU power to go with this chip. Fastest card I have is the 8800GTX lol

1.43VTT?
I've been told they're pretty sensitive to voltages?
What other settings you running for both daily, and the OC on DI?

daily it was:

240x19
1.360v vcore
1.43v VTT
1.7v vDIMM
thats all I really needed to change really...

ALSO, note that in order to achieve any sort of BCLK over like 205 I was forced to use the 2:16 RAM divider and the 2:32 QPI divider. (x8 ram and x16 QPI)

on DI it was mostly the same, anywhere from 1.6-1.75v vcore
maybe from 1.4-1.5v VTT depending on multi/BCLK combo
vDIMM was left around 1.7v like air.

I am really having trouble with this chip up at higher frequencies though....max i could get was 5.9 validated and wprime/HT really make things turn funky.
really great shit though, I had a lol wut moment when i booted 270BCLK :D
right now its rocking like 3.8 in my HTPC because im too lazy to give it some real cooling. Was thinking of letting it go for an i3 because lets be honest, i dont need a pretty much golden chip in a cheapo gaming rig
