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

It's not dual channel that makes it 1600, it's dual data rate. 800mhz is correct cause that is the ddr clock rate. Commands are sent only on one side of the clock whereas data is sent on both sides of the clock, hence the DDR.

Typo, thx.

As far as AVX temperatures, it should be no surprise why it's running hotter, you essentially are using twice the amount of ALU transistors that you would've been using in SSE. AVX has 256 bit registers whereas SSE only has 128bit registers.

Interesting though, when running linpack with AVX enabled I am now getting the huge GFlops numbers, but each thread is only at %50 load per task manager. Load wattage says it's ~115W on the proc.
