Look at the tables and that doesnt seem so, the good ones are spread all over the place with plenty of below average ones filling the gaps, there doesnt seem to be a pattern at all.

I guess there are more duds being posted lately...
Mine passed linx, prime at 1.34 @ 4.8Ghz too. Needs 1.36v to be completely stable and game stable though.Quote:

My 2500K: S/N = 2L040507A4526, Batch # L042B291
Quick test of Cinebench 11.5 at core speed 5.3GHz. RAM not tweaked :(

Your CPU seems to throttle.Quote:

Use Thermal Monitor and check if the frequency doesn't fluctuate.
edit : Sorry amdsempron, I didn't see that's a 2500K. Apologizes :yepp:
10.20-10.30 are nice scores. Maybe 2600K is my next CPU :DQuote:

I more or less have resigned myself to expect that most new samples will most likely fall into the average catagory.Quote:

still cheaper than what most of us spend looking for E8600
ADATA 1600mhz DDR 3 works ok it's 8 GB very cool and runs at 1.55 I have it set to 1.56 to boot at 1600mhzQuote:

So what should I use to test stability?
Everything!!! I still find value running Prime and IBT but its strange to need more volts for games than stress testing software.Quote:

Depends on temps as well.
Kinda pointless to run prime if the temps get to 90C (and thus crashes and bombs), and black ops doesn't top 65C, and runs 8 hours stable...
But that's for gamers. People who use their system for other things may need prime 8 hours small fft stable.
I only use these cpu abuse programs for extremely short time periods now, just to make sure I can actaully launch something without corrupting the OS. (except Prime Blend, which is VERY useful for making sure the memory or IMC is working properly).
All my systems are 24/7 stable by 8hrs small fft then 8 hrs blend. I test them roughly by using Linx 25 passes with around 3-4gb of ram test out of 8gb.

Linx 3500mb HT off 50 runs minQuote:

then retest the same vcore with HT off. if it fails ure ht on vcore was fluked
also just test every 1.x2,1.x6,1.x0 vcore
lol i already gave up on this batches thingy.. the S/N low thing rubbish also
so far all the proc i tested does 5ghz between 1.5-1.52v
L041B739 SN 1xxx
L042B208 SN 1xxx - 2xxx (3procs)
L042B243 SN 01xx - 1xxx (3 procs)
L047A898 SN 09xx - 1xxx ( 2 Procs) - Very strong IMC on dram clocking. 2133 on way less than stock vccio
L051A7xx SN 0xxx
Try getting a c batch.
not that easy bro.Quote:

Guys, same here, I emailed ocuk to ask what batches they have but he cant tell me, no actual stock on hand I guess. A few guys over here ordered from ocuk when there was no stock here and one got a L040B307 (the same batch as 1day's). Has anyone bought from OCUK lately? Do they have C batches?
:)
i got one from ocuk and that was L040B307 and got one from local pc shop and that was l040b307 as well one needed very high core 1.65ish at 5373 and other same batch only needed 1.5 at 5387 both these went on 54 multi and roughly same max frequency and would not ebven boot at 5mhz higher even though could do all 3d tests pi etc at 5mhz lowerQuote:
