Overclocking

Here’s the CPU-Z shot of the system configuration. The RAM is running rock solid at 3000MHz CL 15-17-17 39 Command Rate 2T.

 

Here’s our stock shot of SuperPi with the CPU (6700k) at 4.5GHz and the RAM at stock 3000MHz.

We got a sweet OC to 3100MHz stable and we were able to lower the timings to CL 15-16-16 39 with a command rate of 2T. We could get a faster raw OC with CL 15-17-17, but the most productive OC was 3100MHz and CL 15-16-16 39. Our stock speed score was 8.185 seconds and the OC got us a little boost to 8.116 seconds. Not much of a difference? Look back at the 32M SuperPi score.
