To start from the top, the P55 FTW is an excellent board and should not be limiting your overclock potential in the slightest. Those clocks/voltaegs look good but you have some more vcore headroom if you want to push things a little further.
I would leave vdroop disabled. Since you are putting...
If you are willing to overclock, a chip with an unlocked multiplier would allow you to easily tweak single threaded performance. You may not need the extra performance, so it's best to make a list of all the applications you will be using and checking out how they run on dual vs quad core...
I will be able to confirm this later but I'll take a stab at it now anyway. The 875K's default multi is 22, if you raise that to 25 (which shouldn't require any more voltage) you will have your 3.33Ghz. AFAIK single threaded turbo boost on this cpu would add 5x multiplier to whatever multi you...
Unless I somehow missed it, have you mentioned what motherboard you're using? The number of phases can be important (up to a point) in overvolting. Some boards are only meant to handle the stock voltages, while others are built to take much more. It may be helpful to post what board/revision (if...
Can't wait to see your results as you have the same CPU/Mobo/Ram combo I ordered. I would definitely that increasing CPU clock speed would provide the most noticeable increase in performance. You may b able to set your own turbo modes with the 875K, although I can't confirm that without my...
I have two 875k's (selling one here) and I'm still waiting for my motherboard to arrive so I can't speak from experience yet. It looks like you guys found the Legit Reviews article where they got it to 4.49Ghz. Someone on another forum got theirs to 4.2GHz+ (Linx stable) with 25x 165.5. Legit...
