As I think a lot of us have noticed, there are almost two lines of bloomfield cpus, with the two main batches (a&b) differing greatly in the vcore needed to achieve an oc.
So to all core i7 owners, please respond to this thread with your batch #, a screenshot of cpu-z, realtemp or coretemp, and prime95 on small fft showing your load temps, and what cooling you are using. There is a good deal of variation among core i7 chips with load temps and voltages, and its interesting to see the correlation with the batch #s.
For those that don't know, the batch # can be found on the retail box, on the bottom of the sticker, under the label of FPO/Batch #. If this thread gets a large enough sample of batches, I will post up a chart of the varying results.
To start off, here is mine: 3837B076
cooled by cooler master 212 (under vigor brand)
Now as promised, here is a chart of all of the results posted here and the ones that Avan gathered from the main oc'ing thread. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...7&postcount=35
****New Announcement**** I have published this spreadsheet for all to edit on google docs. If you don't see your info posted, feel free to edit in your information while adhering to the layout http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?k..._RqTL5QA&hl=en
