3D Benchmarks
Finally before we move onto our conclusion, let's see if the i5-760 can maintain its stranglehold over our graphs once we bring the rest of the system into play.
Unigine
Previous testing we've done have shown how GPU heavy the Unigine benchmark is and so it proves here as the difference between the otherwise dominant i5-760 at 4 GHz and the stock i5-750 is minimal at best.
3D Mark Vantage
Vantage continues the trend you should all be used to by now of the overclocked i5-760 winning ahead of the i7-870, and the extra little boost the i5-760 has over the i5-750 at stock allowing it to edge ahead.
Crysis Warhead
Finally Crysis Warhead is similar to Unigine in that the graphics card plays a large part. However thanks to the need of plenty of CPU cycles to do soft Physx we actually end up with the standard order, although the gap between the chips is greatly compressed.

I only chucked my new 760 in my also new P55-UD5 last night and redone my loop.
Never ever overclocked on the P55 / X58 platforms before but it took about 3 mins to work out how to up to 4GHz at 1.23v with memory at 2000Mhz.
Tried to quickly chuck it up to 2133MHz with an overclock on the CPU of 4.26 GHz but at that voltage it only just booted into Windows.
When I've rebuilt my OS, I'll get some proper overlocking done on it.
Oh yeah, temps while Prime95'n overnight hit a max of 59 degrees.

not a bad little chip is it! Make sure you start a thread about your journey with it dude.Great vid, just ordered myself a Core i5-760, Asus P7P55D-E Pro and 4GB Corsair Dominator GT (2000MHz) kit that should get delivered this weekend. I'll be replacing my old Athlon 64 5000+ (lol!), already got an Antec 300 full of fans and a Corsair H50-1 Water cooler which should keep it cool and quiet. I'll also be using a Corsair HX550 PSU and BFG 8800 GTS 640MB OC2 to round the system specs off.
I've never tried overclocking before and would love to clock this upto the 4GHz you got but without using much overvolting. Is it really as simple as upping the Base Clock to 200, dropping Multiplier to 20x, voltage to 1.250 (That's the VCORE yeah?) and manually setting the RAM timings to match the modules rating? Is there anything I've missed?
Also, I know to do a clean install of Windows before stress testing but whats the best stuff to do my testing? Am I right in thinking clean Windows 7 Pro x64 install, install required drivers, leave off the net without installing any A/V and then starting my stress testing with sometime like Prime95 for a couple of hours, then move onto something like 3D Mark Vantage, Unigine Heaven for another couple of hours.
Is there anything else I've missed of need to know?
Thanks!
