5.96GHz Overclock with P67A-UD7 and 2600K lands on HWBOT

From the land of HWBot someone has posted a 5.96Ghz overclock using the 2600K and P67A-UD7  (yes the recalled on due to the chipset issue) cool smile

The only way i can describe what I’ve seen last night on HWBOT is an all out blitzkrieg on Sandy Bridge overclocking by a German OCer SuicidePhoenix, just wow. He posted a CPUz validation at 5961MHz using a GIGABYTE P67A-UD7 and 2600K CPU.

I found it particularly impressive that he did not hold back when it came to RAM either, running 1096MHz 7-7-7-21. It’s obviously telling how comfortable he is with such huge RAM clocks he is getting from GIGABYTE’s flagship board.

The cool thing is I (yes me) was able to post 5.78Ghz using a 2600K on the Gigabyte P67A-UD7 which landed me in on the CPUz front page for that processor.  Kudos goes out to Gigabyte for building such a great board.  I so suspect my processor can go higher however condensation stopped my efforts before I could fully max out the chip.

Given how good my chip seems to be I'll be doing my best to improve my ranking, I just need time and better ram. big grin smileapprove smile
