Found this in my photobucket. Edited it real fast and dirty to remove unnecessary stuff in the screenshot.

This was under the Biostar motherboard though, which I was unable to tweak past ~4.8ghz (Couldn't go past a mult of 46, nor a fsb of 105mhz even though the PC was fully stable. As a result, moved to a better one, relegating my Biostar to the gaming rig).

So no proof of it being stable. I can set my proc to 5.0 and hit screenshot too. Not trying to troll/argue but it's not realistic you have a truly stable 2500k at 5ghz

It's impossible to prove stability, bro, 'cause if the other party doesn't believe it, they keep repeating this mantra.

Go check out Youtube for a great deal of documentation on it if you don't believe me. 2500k@5ghz on air stable is no problem anymore. Hasn't been for ages, and you can get Real Live Video of it too.

P.S. I'm not being your camboy if that's what you are hinting at!

I'm just saying post some screenshots of a stresstest on it for atleast 8 hours. Not saying it's not possible but it's not as easy as people make it seem.


Copy Rick, I'm out.
