It's all good mate, no harm done! I think there was a little language barrier with expressions! I turned HT back on ;)

The vcore is what it is, if thats what it needs there aint much you're going to do about it.... maybe the BIOS PytonOrm mentioned will net you a higher OC maybe it will allow you to lower your voltage :shrug: I would say the best thing you could do would be to read through threads like this, the ASUS P8P67 Pro & the 5GHz club & make your own mind up about your overclock.

Personally 4.8GHz is plenty fast & IMO you'll not notice an everyday 24/7 difference pushing to the magic 5GHz. It all depends what you want to do with your rig & whether you want to be realistic or max it out & potentially learn the hard way....

I have noticed a big jump in performance (cs5 high res rendering)

I forgot to save my settings when I updated so had to remember everything I had put into bios haha

I think 4.8 is good enough.. It's 1.4ghz past stock :O

Its probly universal on most any hardware combo, mine are UD7, corsair A50 push/pull

UD7 bios
1.54Vcore / LLC 10 / PLL enabled / 2 cores / HT off
CPU temp. warning set @ 80C

54X is the max it can boot to windows (XP32)
55X can but freeez after few seconds, 56X stop @ windows bars
Based on this, its worth the time to put SS cooling on it. With the same bios settings this cpu maxed @ 5.69Ghz

2600K Batch# 3103B331 5.0GHz = 1.55v set in bios still not 100% stable.
2600K Batch# L045B021 5.0GHz = 1.47v set in bios 100% stable

(3) 2500Ks L101B503 air all @ 54X and 55X and run cooler too:)

'01...6950 stock

This UD7 killed MIVE in '01. Lol

just wanted to thank everybody who has contributed to this thread, even though batch number appears to have no relevance it is still nice to see what each cpu does, keep it up

How can you afford all those cpus? How many is that now? ya bugger ....

:)

Why am I seeing only 2 cores as listed on that 2500K ?

because sometimes is not working with 4 cores at X56 mabe ?

Benching for max clocks is done with 2 cores (2500k) or HT off 2 or 4 cores (2600k).

UD7 allows me to do core0 at x54 and core1 at x53 ;)

Im gonna be getting 2x 2600K's and a D14, is there like a quick way to test and determine which clocks better on air ?

Update 2600k Batch# L045B021 = DEAD Lol not sure what happened...:rofl:

join the club .....

:shrug:

How bout SB six cores:D...http://cgi.ebay.com/Intel-i7-6-core-...67501911762143

Will HWBOT accept those with max clocks but 2 cores off? If you care about it, of course.

Does anyone besides me notice how utterly fake that chart looks like on ebay? Even the font. Looks like some some random guy created it.

Hmm did it die completely? My 2600K crapped out on me but still stable @ p95.
The trouble I got was "display driver stopped responding" in Windows...

Not 100% but it's bad it won't take any volts at all.

Is there a 2500/2600K that cant do 4.5Ghz, it seems that everyone is hitting 4.5Ghz as a minimum from what I've seen jumping around the previous pages.

I never had one that could not hit 5ghz all of them have booted 50x and higher. . .
