RAWR! Where is my sandy!?

[Phaseshift]

I've gone through 10 2500k I still can't find one that has a Max multi of 54+. Is it that uncommon to find? I know some of you guys go through more CPUs than me but it's just a lil frustrating...sigh

[Skratch]

What board are you using? from what Iv seen with my chips is the 2600k clock higher

[Phaseshift]

I'm using ws revolution...I can't seem to get passed 53 multi, not 54 sorry

[Phaseshift]

unless I'm doing something wrong...this is what I do

- set it to two cores
- set vcore to 1.55v
- boots into windows at 52 and 53 multi
- 54 won't boot into windows but will get stuck at the windows logo
- up the vcore to 1.57, 1.60, 1.65v still no go...

then I follow the Asus Reps sugggestion for anything over 5.0
- but nothing...

If PLL OV is enabled, then you're just getting unlucky

Both of my 2600k's can boot at x54 max, with 2 cores (obvious since they can do X49 with PLL OV disabled).

Whats the max mp of your chips with cpu pll overvoltage disabled?

[PiLsY]

Quick test for high multi should have PLL OV and 2 cores disabled, OP has it exactly right. The golden ones do 55x or more with 2 cores @ 1.55v and PLL OV disabled.

I've had 6 x 52x, 7th is a 53x (all 2500k). Given up .

[Phaseshift]

So should I disable Ppl overvoltage

[Phaseshift]

this got me thinking...should I change my mobo? ram? maybe go with the MIV and Dominator GTs?

RIght now I have

- Asus p8p67 WS Revolution
- 8gb Corsair Doms 4x 2gb

if it sees the windows logo then it's a matter of tweaking voltages and maybe getting it colder... if it only displays the blinking cursor then you are in deep doo doo

we bin them like this :

2 cores, HT off, PLL Overvoltage enabled
All C states off
1.55VCore

Max multi is found in a matter of minutes, if you take windows XP ( which is harder to post into then Windows 7/Vista )

ahh, c states is where I'm lacking I shall try!

[sin0822]

you have tried using higher blck and your multi?

[Expat GriZ]

Good Luck in the very frustrating "hunt". I'm 40+ chips and Finally have a couple keepers.

you should sell me one I'll pay premium

to be clear all the C states are C1E C3 C6 and IEST correcT?

[l0ud_sil3nc3]

yes all disabled

[Phaseshift]

so I decided to bin my first chip that I got, I booted into windows at 55x with 1.65v, all c-states off, pll overvoltage enabled and 2 cores disabled. I tried to do it for a second time but NOOOOO! It wouldn't boot into 55x anymore. What do you guys think the problem is? I can boot just fine at 54x and get a cpu validation with all cores on.

Every CPU I had did it's best in first few hours, then it got stable at somewhat higher voltage. Burn-in time I suppose?

It needs more cooling

[Phaseshift]

like how much of a better cooling? Perhaps a real h20 loop? I'm running an H60 with push/pull shin-etsu thermal paste
