Lets see how fast your CPU is.
i think we should do this again but with better benchmark software
this one does seem dependant on clock speed (one core) only which is a bit poo in the light of multicore processing

Wow great figures
the only issue I would have with that is you have adjusted your base clock, its a big
on sandybridge cores if you want to retain reliability on the mobo/cpu, your not really suppose to adjust it from 100, see yours is at 106.3
so may be worth knocking it back a little

ahh but tony look at his vcore
hotter than a blind lesbian in a fish shop. that cpu wont last long unless it has some serious and i mean serious cooling. liquid nitrogen anyone

For some serious overclocking testing i would suggest Orthos and Prime95,which are excellent stress programs.

tony, is that for the 2600k chips. 1.5v certainly wasn't the case for the first gen i7s. somewhere around 1.4v max i read some place.

Thanks for the comments guys
Overclocking is a hobby of mine, I'm currently ranked third in the UK
Cooling was with a Single Stage cooler which means the CPU was running at around -40
The base clock is pushed so that the ram frequencies are higher, I could run it at 100 X 56 but that would be boring
Voltage at 1.6v is fine if it's cool enough

Here's my MSI lightning GTX 580 under LN2
