Seems like the #3841A431 chips are just ok... i barely need to raise Vcore if i clock it to 3.8GHz HT On... but when i go to 4GHz and above... vcore required is too high... over 1.45v... So i am ordering soon an OEM chip from Tigerdirect and praying to gods to get a good batch.
Just bougth on 920 3838B079. I have good hopes on this chip :p
Definitely let us know what you find. I will be putting together my system soon and I have the same batch# :up:Quote:

I found that week 41 are very poor, tested 3 of them. BTW, I got a very good chip from tiger recently, it was a retail box. Good luckQuote:

Btw... you know if i contact them they could confirm which batch they have? or it's too much asking to tigerdirect... ^_^
LMFAO, guys you're not going to believe this... this is too funny.
I return a 3836B043 locally after hearing from a few guys that this batch wasn't very good, and I order blindfolded from NCIX. Today I open the box, and this is the batch on the CPU: 3836B043... :eek:
I think I am going to give this chip a whirl, better not screw around with fate again... :D
What goes around, comes around :D Don't worry, me thinks it's a good chip, not spectacular but good.

Voltage 1m pi valid only
namegt ... just bougth one 3838B079 ;)
Can you post your voltage bios settings ?
I guess there are duds and gems in every batch. I got to 4.2ghz LinX x 20 17.3k problem size stability with HT enabled on air cooling @ 18C ambient with 89C max core temp. It was getting up to 97C with normal ambients. Also that was with the motherboard running bare on the table.Quote:

I'm thinkin' maybe they just got a bad batch. What is your highest 'boot into windows and get a print screen' number? I just did a 4641 Mhz with a superpi pass.Quote:

Dunno about this particular batch, but in general, week 36 seems to be one of the best
week 36. refering to 3836A or 3836B
Anyone have any knowledge on Batch# 3837B367 can't test yet board will be in next week?
Just finished lapping my i7 920 3837B390 & coolers
Will post Results later, still waiting for my DFI X58 board from motherboardpro.com
What is the definition of a Good Batch for i7 for running 24x7, in terms of BCLK/Voltage ?Quote:
