Just out of curiousity if one more speedbin overclock will improve the CPU WEI index, i overclocked the 980x from 3,78 to 3,91 GHz, it did not help, LOL...
Here is the question for you though... i did all this overclocking only on stock Vcore (set on Normal in BIOS, CPU-z reads 1,184V as before)...CPU passed 5 runs of Intel Burn Test with maximum RAM amount, so i suppose its stable... i wonder is this normal for 980x to be able to overclock from 3,33 to 3,91 on stock vcore? Does this signal i have a good chip for overclocking, when the "limit" at which CPU needs to have vcore bumped to be stable, comes at higher frequencies? Or is this completely non-linear, meaning i could (just hypothetically) have it stable on stock even at 4,2 GHz, but it would not be stable at 4,3GHz, no matter how much i bump the voltage?
EDIT: To clear it up a little, i do not care, if my chip might be a benchers wet dream, capable of doing 7GHz under LN2, i would rather like to know, if its stock vcore oveclockability to almost 4GHz inidicates, it might be able to run lets say at 4,5GHz under less voltage compared to other 980x, which needs more juice to be stable at lower frequencies?
As i said, I do not plan to overclock it more, but this kind of interests me. Sorry for going slightly offtopic.
