Intel Core i5 655K: Overclocking Made Easy… And Affordable!

Intel P55 Motherboard

• No Voltage Change (Auto – 133 MHz x 31)

  

  

• Voltage Change

  133 MHz x 34; CPU Voltage = 1.5V

  

  133 MHz x 34; CPU Voltage = 1.5V; Memory = 1600 MHz

  

  200 MHz x 23; CPU Voltage = 1.5V; Memory = 1600 MHz

We’re quite happy with these results. Even without pumping in any additional voltage, the processor managed to reach 4,2 GHz. It could increase further to 4,8 GHz, but, at this near-suicidal speed, we had difficulties running the benchmark because the system became highly unstable, naturally.
