That's just great...picked up a L041C123 yesterday from MC...guess it's probably a 53X chip also eh? Can't test mine out yet...waiting for hard drive to come in the mail on Monday :)Quote:

And Newegg can't choose a batch for you unless you have VERY VERY deep contacts...
Like maybe something like if you were given an extra product that you didn't pay for, and you mailed it back to them, someone might be willing to bend a rule in return. But besides something extraordinary like that, you'd HAVE to somehow walk in as a will call to even have a chance...(and I don't think newegg accepts will calls).
Gonna be hard to get one without some sort of contact within the company.Quote:

(Has anyone hit the B3 UD5 with a DMM yet?) :/
my best chip was a blind one from newegg so i may take a chance
it nice thuo that you can sell these chips fast on ebay both my avg. multi 2500k's sold in less then 24hrs for $190 same as i paid.
It's pretty amusing how many pcs of CPU people have to go through to find a 'decent' one. The used market must be flooded with beaten on and abused CPU's run at 1.6v+ out of the box, much more so than with i7's.
still havent seen alot of people with my batch
only like 3-4 people so far
and i should really oc mine but cba :(
lol i did not abuse mine i just put in 1.57ish real tested max with a great cooler then took them out:)Quote:

Yes it is most definitely playing the lottery, and I have found that you really don't need 1.6+ to max out your multi unless your chip is really really bad. All of the chips I have been through might have an hour on them and they get sold at a loss to give members who want a 24/7 and not a bencher.Quote:

To you guys that have gone through many 2600K's - is a 57x so rare that you have only found one? How many of you have found more than one?
Played with some offsets and llc settings. Wonder if this gonna 8hr prime stable also.

@Dumo, where did you get BIOS 1303 to play with for the M4E? Mind provide a link?

set your vcore to 1.58 to be sure and rule out your problem, but you are probably just on the edge if you can get there.Quote:

All on ss cooling, seem like 3 batches need less vcore comparo to L0 batches
when disabling the cores you just set the multipliers at 0 right?Quote:

I don't know if you can MANUALLY choose which core is disabled by setting a multiplier to 0...never thought about that...I would think there is a minimum multiplier allowed, though?
So I take it that the 3101A201 with the SN# closest to A1499 would probably OC better? I haven't checked the local MC yet, but I think they still haven't sold out the tons of 2600K CPUs with the usual batch I have seen for the past three months or so yet. And even so, I may still not be able to buy one until my 14-day "Day Between Purchase" expires, which should be another week and a half. What a stupid policy, they are here to sell, so why care who buys how many times as long as they have the money to spend, right? That's the stupidest policy I have seen yet.Quote:

Can someone chime in on how consistent temp is among all the cores for the Costa Rica-based batch when idle? I know the Malaysia-based batch have a very consistent temp when idle (ie: core0 28, core1 28, core2 28, core 3 28). When stressed, each core may have a different temp.
SO? Any results? :)Quote:

looks like a very good chip, at least ice it down so it wont burn up maybe no need for ln2.Quote:

Sorry about the luck you're having.
I got up on my feet, gathered my courage and took that suckee CPU back and exchanged it for yet another same batch with a different SN. This one is at least stable at the initial 4.6Ghz using 1.350v. Max bootable into Windows is 52x @1.550v, but far, far from stable. It would BSOD almost instantly when Prime95'ed. Tried 50x100 using 1.50v, but seems like it's not stable either with "processor [x] stopped" message. Not worth using 1.550v for a 5Ghz speed (heat and CPU life degradation). Man, CPU binning is the flakiest thing I have ever done. Never have so many bad luck in my entire life!Quote:

How do you take a cpu back and exchange it?
Another 2600K 3101A201...*A1181 max 53X. Still try to find mhz wall on air
Edit: this one is too hot with crappy A50 air
Put under SS...max multi 53X but can go 5.5Ghz with BCLK and lower Vcore (comparo to L0 batch)
Kinda weird cpu

What is your opinion so far on the batches that start with a 3?Quote:

At 1.55V
51x= ok
52x= ok
53x= ok
54x= ok
55x= ok (unstable but boots in and can do normal things)
56x= Freeze at windows screen even at 1.6V (worth it to try more to see how far it gets? I'm on air!)
http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/t...202/online.jpg
Imo, its not worth it to push it with 1.54+ Vcore on (even) a good air, go H2O and strictly for benching onlyQuote:

Thank you.
NameGT: Do you know the default VID for that CPU (at 3.4 ghz?), and the default VID (when set to 100x50)?
CPU VID : 1.15v :)Quote:
Originally Posted by Falkentyne

The VID is the "target" voltage shown in the BIOS, next to your "Auto" or "manual" voltage selection. This is not the "current voltage reading" actually going into the CPU, but the "target VID." The current actual vcore the CPU is using (power wise) will ALWAYS be lower than the VID, unless you are using loadline calibration (at high levels).
You can also see the VID by starting the computer into windows and using realtemp 3.67 (EIST/speedstep/C3/C6 must be disabled).
For example, in the BIOS, to the left of where you can choose your manual voltage, you will see a VID (might be labeled "Voltage" or just "Target").
1.15v is too low of a VID for 3.4 ghz for a 2600k. There was a survey of VIDs at 3.4 ghz, and the lowest possible one shown was 1.21v. I think the lowest possible VID for 3.4 ghz is 1.20v, and the highest is 1.27v. 2500k's I think may have lower VID than 2600k's.
In case I'm wrong, then this is the first 2600k I've ever seen that has a VID of 1.15v.
If the VID is really 1.15v at 3.4 ghz, then the vcore in health monitoring should be almost 1.13v or lower, and in windows, if you run prime 95, it should be 1.0v or lower.
If you don't turn off EIST, C1, C3 and C6 save settings and reboot then it shows low vid voltages like that, however once you boot back in to the bios you will see the true VID.Quote:
Originally Posted by Falkentyne

Try that and check the VID again for me. I know it won't be 1.15v...that's a 2500k VID (for 3.4 ghz)....

Even then, my max multi is either x53 or x54 (X49 with PLL disabled; X54 restarted on the XP splash screen, but it didnt freeze...so perhaps it needs more vcore, but I only tried 1.50v with LLC1).
You're not alone, my friend
You want to see bad luck?
I haven't won a SINGLE virtual currency gun in Crossfire, from crates (a FPS game), or from AVA, for ages. I've spent so much in game money on crates...I have much worse luck...and I can't even sell what i lost like you can, to try again...
sounds like your microcenter blows hard, the closest one to me (santa clara) isn't as cool as others I have been to, but I have bought one cpu every time I have gone, and I was never told of this lame policy that your store has. Two of the locations I have been to have even sold me more than one cpu in the same visit:DQuote:

I think VID doesn't mean anything :shrug:
My VID @ 3.4 is 1.25.
But I can run linx @ 1.368v 5Ghz and @ 1.416v 5.1Ghz. It scales great with vcore :D .
Never seen blinking cursor, but I get stuck @ windows logo with 56x , I've run w1024 and spi32Mb @ 5.5 with 1.6v, on wc
I believe Prime is still a better tool to test. Anyway, what are the voltages that has to be increased for 5Ghz? Any specific ones instead of leaving everything at AUTO?Quote:
