Intel Processors Overclock Database


Recommended Posts

Here's a larger, more comprehensive online database: http://www.cpuoverclockers.com/

Seemed like we could use one of these, stealing the basic format from other overclocking databases because they work. ;) Gives users an idea of what to expect or about where everyone else's chips are.

Please list:

Processor

Stepping

Week and code (found on retail box and processor, formatted as LXXXAXXX with LXXX being week and AXXX being code) (optional)

Vcore (idle CPU-Z)

Method of cooling and make and model of cooler

Make and model of motherboard with BIOS version

OS version

RAM brand, model number, frequency (actual not effective), and latencies

All submissions must include a CPU-Z or CPUID picture or a CPU-Z validation link.

All submissions must be 8+ hours Prime95 or Orthos stable, included picture would be nice if not we'll trust you. :)

I also want to add a section for motherboards here to help shed light on what motherboards are doing what kind of front side buses. The best method of doing this is pretty much just dropping the processor multiplier and pushing the front side bus as far as the system will stay stable.

Please indicate whether or not your submission accurately portrays the maximum FSB reached by your motherboard, if not we're going to assume your submission is for the processor section only

Please post:

Processor

FSB (actual not quad pumped)

Motherboard make and model (revision number if applicable)

BIOS version

Northbridge and/or Southbridge Cooling Method

Any mods

Same thing, with CPU-Z/CPUID, but we'll accept four hours of Prime or Orthos stable.

Any submissions without any of the listed information will not be included in database

Try to keep the thread clean of the "nice oc" and "what settings did you use" posts, use another method of communication.

Also, if you made an initial post but improved on that overclock later, go ahead and repost but link to your original post. You can make multiple submissions for processors and motherboards, such as overclocks for both an E6600 and E9450. However, if you change out the motherboard, but keep the chip I'm just going to change your submission for the chip. E.g. I post my E6400 + Abit IP35-E overclock, then change the board out to an IP35-Pro. The entry will be edited to just replace the motherboard.

I'll try to make updates as often as possible, but don't expect to have your submission show up three minutes after you post. ;)

..alright, let's see how this goes. :) Go ahead and PM me if anything needs to be cleared up or if I made a mistake somewhere that should be rectified.

Yeah I'm going to get around to it, I had the idea randomly in the middle of the afternoon as I was heading out. Haven't been on the computer for 15 hours else I would've added my own. I'm orthosing right now and I'll put up my 3200 MHz Orthos image by tomorrow morning. Don't have my week or code written down for some reason and I don't feel like taking the block off to check it. -_- but yes, if anyone else gets their data in before tomorrow morning 11AM PST you can be in the first update. :)

edit: Okay....yeah I'll break the ice. update coming up!

I'm posting mine ASAP....in a month that is. :p

As soon as I build my gaming rig for college I am immediatly overclocking it. As it is looking right now the setup is: Q9450, Asus P5K-E, 2x2gb, 9800GTX, 2 320gb WDC AAKS drives, etc. I can't wait to see the results.

Processor Core2Duo E6550 @ 2.8GHz

Stepping B

Revision G0

Vcore 1.232v

Method of cooling and make and model of cooler Air, Stock

Make and model of motherboard with BIOS version Asus P5K-e 1013

OS version Vista Ultimate 32bit w/SP1

RAM brand, model number, frequency (actual not effective), and latencies G.Skill, F2-6400CL4-1GBHK, 400MHz, 4-4-3-5 2T @ 2.1v

It is perfectly stable running Orthos for 8 hours, I've had it at these speeds for around 2 months and just didn't save a screenshot of it at the time because I didn't ever think I'd need one. :p It's only a minor OC, and I haven't tried to push it any farther.

Just in case anyone is having trouble finding time to do an 8 hour ORTHOS/Prime95 stress test, here's what I do.

I just leave my computer on overnight (for one night) with ORTHOS or Prime95 on, and have it stress CPU over night.

If in the morning, the test is still going, then it's safe to assume your overclock is stable. If you get a BSOD overnight, then there might be a problem with stability.

Hope this helps.

I guess I should've added this for the Mobo list:

Processor Core2Duo E6550

FSB (actual not quad pumped) 400MHz

Motherboard make and model (revision number if applicable) Asus P5K-E

BIOS version 1013

Northbridge and/or Southbridge Cooling Method Stock

Any mods None

Use this with the other screenshots in my last post (nothing has changed)

Thanks for posting that one so much! I am planning on putting a Q9450 in my rig next month! I hoping for similar results to you, at least 3.2ghz.

I'm testing my E6550 @ 3.0GHz right now (429x7), ram is at the same FSB (x2 for DDR) with no change in timings or voltage on anything. It's looking very good so far, temps are no more than they were at 2.8 (Max. 58-59c) on the stock cooler. :yes: I'll post the results when Orthos finishes it's 8 hours or when I wake up tomorrow morning.

How can you spend that much money on a processor and not overclock the crap out of it? :p

I won it, my motherboard doesn't like high front side buses, I like an "auto" multiplier so on idle it clocks down, and I don't *need* more....yet ;)

Someday I might really try to go for more, but 3.4 sounded good.

What?!? Seems like I'm entering the wrong sweepstakes because everybody is winning hardware but me. :p

Where from?

Don't worry too much about getting a high overclock, it's not a show off thread, just information. In this case the vcore used is still information for those looking for some numbers to compare to. ;) So this is for everyone else holding off because they don't think they're clocked high enough...we just want numbers. Any of them are good.

I'll have you added by tomorrow afternoon, I have work at 6AM till 2 or 3 PM.

edit: hah I know what you're talking about. Mine aren't titration though, but stress/strain. :p

I tell you what, my engineering apps are f***ing fast now. Excel is much improved too, so I can do graphs with thousands of data points....I'm such a nerd.

Yeah I've done a few of those, they getting pretty bad. I think the computer took readings every 5 miliseconds when we rode bikes around campus measuring the stress/strain on the frame. I thought excel or my computer was going to die.

This thread will probably prove to be extremely useful. I guess even if the clocks aren't high, people can at least see what was "stable".

    • So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.
