Ladies and gentleman...U think that u have bad chips?HA?U really do think that?
Let me present my latest aquisition,i3 560.
Neeeds 1.34V for 4 ,0 GHZ stable.Hmm what do u think of that?:ROTF: I was wondering why i can't reach more that 5.57 for pifast with DICE,well,guess this is the reason.
i need about 1.35-1.36 to make it encode-stale (100% usage) at 4.0 ghz with (167x24) and exactly 1.40 vcore in bios just for 4.2ghz encode and p95 stable
i had to up it last week cause it crashed 2 times just under normal use - used to be 1.37 and then 1.39 for 4.2, now it is no less than 1.40 for a stable 4.2
i actually think this p.o.s. is now degrading...
theres yer happy new year for ya!!!:(:(
seriously though, nice to see i'm not alone here
Cheers:up::up::up:
Well we are some unlucky guys over here :(
just so everyone knows what NOT to do - what was your batch number by the way???
thanks mate:up::up:
Got a batch number question for you guys:
I have a i3 530 that's on the list on the first page. My question is, what is the 3rd number to last mean?
My batch number is above, as you can see. What the #6 stand for? 6th wafer?Quote:
i3-530 #3948A601 4.01GHz w/1.23v vid 1.20v Deluded@OCN
2009, 48th week, Batch A, ??, CPU # 1 is the way I understand
Batch number: L024B635. Stay away from this :banana::banana::banana::banana: ;)
hmmm from what i recall mine was # L008B586
something about these new
L0XXX...batches...
complete and total B.S.:(:(:(
oh well...Enjoy...

7 = .........., Philippines

2nd digit = Year of production (2001)
3rd & 4th digits = week (49th week )
5th - 8th digits= lot number
10th - 13th digits = serialization code

supervisor must've been engaging in pocket pool
and i can say this because it just crashed again at 4.2 normal use while i was simply reinstalling Windows 7

not one of their shining moments:shakes::shakes::shakes:
it appears after googling that any batches starting off in the famous "L00---" have pretty much been an embarrassment...
something must have gone severely wrong over there at the proverbial 'plant'...:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Has anyone ran a Core i3 with over 1.4V for a period of months? Just wanted to know if they ended up killing there Core i3 or not.. I feel tempted to push mines further..
Mine's been running at 1.42v for 1-2 mo....idles in the high 20's though with c1e turned on with a TRUE.

But does it really matter as how long will it be before all of us jump to a p67 + i5 2500k for 4.8ghz+?
Hey , This is my first OC , CPU is I3-560 , iGPU is disables had problems with it , Think everyThings ok Ran trough intelburn test 30 times and was stable , Vcore is 1.440 When Running IntelBurn
Temps 70C max when running intelburn, Cooling is water cooling .
Edit new Pic added , Got 4.6Ghz @ 1.376V stable :D
not bad but both you and i shoulda had 5.0ghz EASY mate...:shrug::shrug:Quote:

Hey , Yeah i did Have ago again and i have Core speed 4664.5 Mhz and core voltage 1.376V Under Full load running LinX passed 25 Runs , I Guess i could get it higher but 4664.5 Mhz is ok for me :) .
This is false.Quote:

Not being able to get to 4.4GHz stable is not quite normal for Clarkdale, though...

that was what surprised me most:eek::eek:Quote:

but the inability of it to do a simple 4.4 was a real kick in the balls
i have not been able to pass anything above 4.2 without being immediately "blessed" with a blue screen ...and that was with 1.47 vcore
quite honestly the reviews by techpower up etc led me to believe i could expect 4.4-4.5 with a safe - vcore but obviously they had good ones and those were 530's...:eek::eek::eek:
i think mine should be relabelled a 520 or a 510 even Lol:rofl:

I did get 5ghz stable on this chip passed intelburn and Linx , i3 560 , coolings chilled liquid , v core 1.536v
i saw that in the linx thread,very very nice OC and chip you have:yepp:Quote:

Thanks :D , Batch is - L013B634 , stock voltage - 1.2v
added,again great OC and sweet cpu:up:Quote:

i will post my results as soon as i get it.i grabbed an i3-550
hop its a decent one:D
Tried again today with linx , with 3200mb of ram , gets to the very last loop 20+ and always fails there , so it's back to 4Ghz now lol
What's with you going backwards these days mate? :cool:Quote:
