Ivy Bridge i5 3570K/i7 3770K batch and o/c results

[hyper_2002]

I've had one with that batch code. It was a bad overclocker. Massman @ Hwbot have tested a few of that same batch and had a few good ones though. 5G on water is a quite a stretch, tried 3x 3770K's so far and non could accomplish that. At least not LinX and/or Prime stable at reasonable voltage. I don't want to run over 1.4V for daily use.

Thanks for info . Going to look around for another batches... Any recommendations what batches i should be looking for.. ? As I see it is lottery and even the same batches overclock completely different... :/ Do not remember such diversity with old i920..
