Talking Core i5 & i7 32nm Graveyard - share your RIP's

i5 & i7 32nm were launched and we are all aware of how frail these 32nm cpu's can be.

So far the real reason is unknown, bad batches, frail platform, immature technology, power supply requirements? Who knows.

So I decided to jump start this thread in order to see the development of these cpu's and hope for a better xtreme-OC friendly 32nm silicon.

Please share your death experiences here and I will do my best to update the first post and summarize the experiences. Did you kill a 32nm i5/i7 with high vcore/vtt/pll?

What vtt, pll and vcore did you use? For how long? How was the death symptoms?

Thanks!

Died after 3 days of use and only 20 secs of 1.5vcore/1.4vtt/1.80pll under water 20oC.

Here's PcCI2iminal's: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...6&postcount=33

It's also known that between Hicookie and Nick they are on their 10th i5 670 due to premature death.

Ran 1.6v+ vcore on air with this one, still going strong :)
Vtt was 1.39 I think.

A really bad cpu, if this is all Intel can achieve with 32nm I'm dissapointed.

One 661 went down here today :( Will pm further info via the real owner.. (no idea bout NDA's and co)

May they rest in piece. ;)

Could you guys share how they died so I can update post #1? Vcore/Vtt/Pll/Board/post code #?

maybe add batch numbers to see if there's a trend ?

They also like to shove 2.1v down their poor little 32nm throats though:D

Sorry to hear that mate :(

one of my 660 cpus died after 50 seconds under ln2 pot.. 1.95v, 1.5v vtt.. temp at +13C.

this chip must have been VERY fragile.. my 670 havent died yet, and I have tortured it with 2v on air for over 3 days, still going strong :)

I think its some chips that have some problems.

Lmao, that chip doesn't want to die. Never seen anyone fail at killing a chip before, totally hilarious:D I think a torch or a hammer is what it takes...

That's awesome heh, surprised it's still alive after that punishment. Last time I used 2v+ on air was an old northwood.

2 thinks killed my chips
high vtt (higher than 1.60 i think) Evga old bioses for high qpilink needed high vtt , low temp on retail chips like -175 /-180 under Wprime load (chip died when i ran Wprime 1024 after 5 seconds )

Who was running a coldbug/boot modified mainboard?

That is the 1 million dollar question...

It's quite an important question ... I have a bad feeling ...

Mine was without any mods, stock board installing OSes :shrug:

mines was all with mod

Lost a gulftown.

Q3QP... it was an ES tho.

Ran @ 1.425vcore Vtt @ 1.4 on a eVGA Classy. E759

Lasted about 2 weeks... Thank god i have a X980 that replaced it tho.

Going to try a different retail this weekend. Wish me luck!

good luck my friend :up::up::up:

3 of mine is killed...
1 is ok...i was overclocking at more than 1.9V and 6400 Mhz....and death...simply stops to work....
but the 2 another %#^~>%& death at start...stock voltages and frequency...
Its really a fragile chip
Lots of Clarkdale is dying
Good lucky with the next chip...i almost give up clarkdale

man this is scaring the hell out of me now,well this + the socket burn thread.
got an i3-530 and the H55M-UD2H w/the cheap foxconn socket and lockdown
clamp, and now im so nervous about pushing it past 21x200@4200 w/1.24v
oh well,i'll push it anyways."volts be damned":D

As long as it's retail radaja Intel or store has to back it up on the rma.

Problem is good ES cpu's failing are a big $300 hole in the pocket! :down:

thanks.thats whats i thought.
sorry about your guy's dead cpu's
