~Intel Core i3/i5 32nm Dual Core OverCLARKing Thread~

Ladies and gentleman...U think that u have bad chips?HA?U really do think that?
Let me present my latest aquisition,i3 560.

Neeeds 1.34V for 4 ,0 GHZ stable.Hmm what do u think of that? I was wondering why i can't reach more that 5.57 for pifast with DICE,well,guess this is the reason.

[Gameman]

i need about 1.35-1.36 to make it encode-stale (100% usage) at 4.0 ghz with (167x24) and exactly 1.40 vcore in bios just for 4.2ghz encode and p95 stable

i had to up it last week cause it crashed 2 times just under normal use - used to be 1.37 and then 1.39 for 4.2, now it is no less than 1.40 for a stable 4.2

i actually think this p.o.s. is now degrading...

theres yer happy new year for ya!!!

seriously though, nice to see i'm not alone here

Cheers

[Alex-Ro]

Well we are some unlucky guys over here

[Gameman]

just so everyone knows what NOT to do - what was your batch number by the way???


thanks mate

[Deluded]

Got a batch number question for you guys:

I have a i3 530 that's on the list on the first page. My question is, what is the 3rd number to last mean?

i3-530 #3948A601 4.01GHz w/1.23v vid 1.20v Deluded@OCN

My batch number is above, as you can see. What the #6 stand for? 6th wafer?

2009, 48th week, Batch A, ??, CPU # 1 is the way I understand

[Alex-Ro]

Batch number: L024B635. Stay away from this

[Gameman]

hmmm from what i recall mine was # L008B586
something about these new
L0XXX...batches...
complete and total B.S.


oh well...Enjoy...

Example: L149A463-0726

1st letter or digit = plant code (Malay)
0 = San Jose, Costa Rica
1 = Cavite, Philippines
3 = .............., Costa Rica
6 = Chandler, Arizona
7 = .........., Philippines
8 = Leixlip, Ireland
9 = Penang, Malaysia
L = ............, Malaysia
Q = ..........., Malaysia
R = Manila, Philippines
Y = Leixlip, Ireland

2nd digit = Year of production (2001)

3rd & 4th digits = week (49th week )

5th - 8th digits= lot number

10th - 13th digits = serialization code

you'd have to ask intel about the last few digits, i'm not sure anyone outside of an intel employee has that information.

if that's the case then one of their worst weeks ever was in Maylasia on their 8th week...

supervisor must've been engaging in pocket pool

and i can say this because it just crashed again at 4.2 normal use while i was simply reinstalling Windows 7



not one of their shining moments

it appears after googling that any batches starting off in the famous "L00---" have pretty much been an embarrassment...
something must have gone severely wrong over there at the proverbial 'plant'...

[Yamcha]

Has anyone ran a Core i3 with over 1.4V for a period of months? Just wanted to know if they ended up killing there Core i3 or not.. I feel tempted to push mines further..

[LagunaX]

Mine's been running at 1.42v for 1-2 mo....idles in the high 20's though with c1e turned on with a TRUE.

But does it really matter as how long will it be before all of us jump to a p67 + i5 2500k for 4.8ghz+?

Hey , This is my first OC , CPU is I3-560 , iGPU is disables had problems with it , Think everyThings ok Ran trough intelburn test 30 times and was stable , Vcore is 1.440 When Running IntelBurn
Temps 70C max when running intelburn, Cooling is water cooling .

Edit new Pic added , Got 4.6Ghz @ 1.376V stable

not bad but both you and i shoulda had 5.0ghz EASY mate...

i prefer to recoup the losses and view it as a quad e5400... at least then their is a slight glimmer of a bright side...

Hey , Yeah i did Have ago again and i have Core speed 4664.5 Mhz and core voltage 1.376V Under Full load running LinX passed 25 Runs , I Guess i could get it higher but 4664.5 Mhz is ok for me .

This is false.
Getting 5GHz stable using Clarkdale is no easy task. Which requires quite serious cooling and a very good chip.
Not being able to get to 4.4GHz stable is not quite normal for Clarkdale, though...

[OC Nub]

+1

A lot of the early batches did 4.4-4.6ghz pretty easy. But to get above 4.7-4.8ghz stable you need a very good chip.

If 5ghz was easy you would see a lot more of them in the 5.0ghz section of Zalbard's LinX thread.

that was what surprised me most

i admit i might have set my sights a bit high hoping for 5.0ghz...
but the inability of it to do a simple 4.4 was a real kick in the balls


i have not been able to pass anything above 4.2 without being immediately "blessed" with a blue screen ...and that was with 1.47 vcore

quite honestly the reviews by techpower up etc led me to believe i could expect 4.4-4.5 with a safe - vcore but obviously they had good ones and those were 530's...

i think mine should be relabelled a 520 or a 510 even Lol

[twirlywhirly555]

I did get 5ghz stable on this chip passed intelburn and Linx , i3 560 , coolings chilled liquid , v core 1.536v

i saw that in the linx thread,very very nice OC and chip you have
whats the batch number and vid?i want to put your chip in the list

[twirlywhirly555]

Thanks , Batch is - L013B634 , stock voltage - 1.2v

[radaja]

Thanks , Batch is - L013B634 , stock voltage - 1.2v

added,again great OC and sweet cpu

[radaja]

well i downgraded and got another i3 setup on the way.
i will post my results as soon as i get it.i grabbed an i3-550
hop its a decent one

[twirlywhirly555]

Tried again today with linx , with 3200mb of ram , gets to the very last loop 20+ and always fails there , so it's back to 4Ghz now lol

What's with you going backwards these days mate?

What's with you going backwards these days mate?

i dont know i just like playing with different stuff,and sometimes money
helps shape my decisions.so i end up jumping from platform to platform
