i5-2500K/2600K batch number and o/c results

[Falkentyne]

Got mine 5 ghz 1.4v game stable, HT on....boy was it flying....7.6 sec 1m superpi....even at just 4 ghz, in Morrowind, I gained about 40 FPS over my QX9650 at 4 ghz....and I think MW is single threaded too....

I didn't mess around to see if I could lower voltages or not though. My temps in prime95 small FFT, 26.4 64 bit were just TOO high....88C on cores 2 and 3 on a Venemous-X (mounting problem??) after about 20 seconds...so I quickly closed the test and went to play games instead. The fact that it lasted even that long at temps that high is a good thing though..I was actually expecting an error or bluescreen in 10 seconds...didn't get any...just high temps...

PLL overvoltage was enabled...
Using garbage memory timings since I've never had an i7 before...
I only knew to keep about 0.5v between memory and vtt(QPI??) voltage, and keep memory at 1.5-1.6 and vtt at 1.1...that's the limit of my knowledge so far....
I'm sure I can shave off some time on Spi when I learn how to use the memory settings....

The fact that it lasted even that long at temps that high is a good thing though...
I'll worry about how low I can go with voltages later...not in a hurry...
Not gona blow up my chip with priming at those temps...

BTW anyone know why my Venemous X swivels (even more than my TRUE black) even when i apply the 70pound screw? The mount is as perfect as possible...but it seems like the pressure lever is barely applying any pressure at all..
