Congrats mate for those low volts 5GHz i guess if you up mem to 2400 or more you will need at least 1,4 but great chip :)

Guys a little advice. :)
I am buying a 3570k. Which are better(4.5ghz on lower volts) Costa Rica or Malayesia? Or which have better IMC?
General speaking. Batch i don't think i could choose very much..
Or it is a lottery. :(
It´s a lottery. Even Chips with the same batch are different. Costa Rica and Malaysia have good Chips and bad Chips.
I bought now a 3770K Batch 3214C557 (still in the mail) where the 3 = Costa Rica and the C give me hope for a good Chip, but there is no warranty.
Absolutely, binning is the only way.
Finally, found a decent costa:D

Not so extreme like many of you, but this is what i got till now. Still testing with stock hsf. Atm my cpu runs at 4ghz with offset set to -0.080 (0.80v idle - 1.088v load), LLC standard, VTT 1.60v, Ram 1.60v @ 2133 9-11-9-28 1T. Room temp 26C, 29-36-29-32 idle and 90C max with linx/prime. Lowering VTT from default 1.80v to 1.60v didnt drop temp even 1C at load like some say.
A5G gives a red number if you set offset more than .065v. Is there any real problem with this because I am going to give a try with offset set to -0.090/-0.10v. I ll also try to oc ram at 2200.

The three that I tried were all pretty similar (though the two 3770Ks were identical batches).
4Ghz 1V, 4.2Ghz 1.1V, 4.4Ghz 1.2V, 4.5Ghz 1.25V all LinX AVX stable.
CPU Batch L215B620. All results H20-cooled with swiftech block, 360 rad. 355X pump on its own loop (gpu's on another loop). ambient around 25C. multimeter readings actually show 0.012 less than CPU-Z.
3770K 5Ghz @ 1.30V prime stable for 20 minutes just to see what the temps are: http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p...304_20mins.jpg. It passed the hot 8K FFT test.
3770k 4.9Ghz @ 1.256v prime stable for 2 hours: http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p..._1256_2hrs.jpg. Am using this setting now 24/7. So far so good.
3770k 4.8Ghz @ 1.216v 21 hrs prime stable completing all 70 FFT lengths: http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/p..._P95_21hrs.jpg
might try to run 4.9Ghz with the full prime test this weekend. 5.0Ghz might be too hot for full prime test even at 1.30v unless I take the IHS lid off (was thinking about it before I knew how it clocked --- not thinking about it anymore :D)
Ithink this is a golden one :)

You think? :lol: :up:
I wouldnt beat yourself up, you get a big boost to mhz with phase on Ivy so yours could be just as good :)
Great score, Roger!
Go grap some LN2 and smack that :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:! :D
That is a solid chip though phase makes a huge difference with Ivy, it brings it back to Sandy levels.

batch : 3218C290
it's a costa rica C chip? i think i read people being excited about these ones right? lol glad i got a good one, least it seems good so far.
4ghz 1.065v (1.072 load)
I'm on the stock cooler at the moment, as i wait patiently for my new true 120 bracket. So for the moment I'm just shooting for the 4ghz and seeing how low i cant take the voltage. no long stability test yet, as i've been wary of temps.
realtemp has been reporting nearly 80*C for any voltage i set to 1.075 or higher, i think one core hit 82* at one point. but 1.065 seems to be keeping me closer to the 75*C range at the moment.

You are not using AVX on linx, so I'm sorry to say your results are nothing but irrelevant :(
what is AVX? :) Well whatever been stable in LinX, been stable elsewhere without a single bsod/crash, so I would say "irrelevant" is too harsh of a word :D

While AVX is an instruction set that when used by AVX will do a huge load on your CPU. You wouldn't even be able to ran it with the settings you used. Without AVX to AVX is like 10-15ºC more this with top WC.
You must have Windows 7 with SP1 and latest linpack to run linx with AVX.
