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

[st0ned]

I hear all the good thinks about C batch,you wont know for sure until you try

@stoned ..if i was you i would get better sticks

I'll but the sticks aint the problems, it's a bios/cpu/something issue, what started happening to me at 1st 5.1Ghz shots

vCore around 1.4v when loaded


and what happens now at 5.2Ghz if I keep the mem timings I was using

1866 10-11-10-28 1T



At 5.0Ghz nothing of this will happen, it'll run just OK.

Really lucky

I'm using offset mode, +0.01v with Extreme LLC.

Settings @ bios :







I was runing Ht ON, with linx only runing in 4 threds, so 50% it's normal...

4threads vs 8threads post

Is the system stable at those settings? I've had no luck with Extreme LLC and entering manually the offset. However, it works fine with LLC disabled and offset > auto.

Sandy Bell 2600K.

Batch L041B200

Cooling AIR scytne Ninja first model.

Workin same time: memtest+linX+Prime 95 small ff....

@stoned Try to increase IO volt first and when you cap out IO, try to increase SA volt. Because I think your mem controller needs more juice to be stable.

How much and untill what volts would it be safe...

I havent installed mine yet, but is there any way of finding the stepping? Or do i need cpuz..?

That looks good, and it's the same Batch# and MB as mine.
I haven't pushed that much voltage yet, just settled with 4.5GHz 1.27v for now, while I'm following laboratory rabbits, LOL, but it's good to see it can breach the 5.2GHz with that voltage.

Some Prime action with my new L042B076, not bad ,

Cpu-z mate, All retail chips are d2's also

Had to wait 2 weeks in the UK for anywhere to really start getting the 2500k in stock, but mine arrives monday and will be running with a lapped Hyper 212+ strapped to its back. Can't wait to see how far it will go, hoping for between 4.8-5GHz with about 1.38v

Dami3n what you gonna do with your Gulfy!?

Sold. No difference in games and better temps in my little case, so was a easy decision

Goodluck with that, i've only seem a few which are golden chips.. best ive seen is 1.35 @ 5ghz

[PatRaceTin]

Ahhh i read this thread and willing to sell my 2600K to find some good batch

[MythSquare]

Really nice OCs. My 2600k is rock-stable with this:


and the question. I catch 33C at idle with Corsair H50. is it normal? At load I no way pass over 56C (at defaults). Mobo is Asus P8P67 Deluxe
thx in advance

[Johnny87au]

@mythsquare .. Temps seem about right, What are your ambient temps??

[MythSquare]

@Johnny87au
Case stands near the heating so I think it's 22+ C around it

Thing that you should notice is I'm running it with H2O but even if water temp rises near +30°C it's stable at 5.05GHz 1.36V

Water is not essential any longer, SB runs really cool on high-en air.

I've never pushed the vCore that far, just waiting out and watching laboratory rabbits, until we know more how resilient these chips are over time, as said before, but that @5GHz 1.36v sounds really good and could tempt me to try it soon.

Nice one DJ, I can get a L041B204, not far from yours, worth a try you think?

[DjLeco]

SURE, I've seen that batch on xtremesystems, not remember where, seems to be a little better than mine at above 5,2+ Ghz (a little less milivolts on Vcore, for same freq) or cpuz calibration difference...

No mater, I hoped to pick up an cpu for 4500 Mhz around 1,33 Vcore (that was my expectation) but those is very very good, 4700 Mhz 1,259 on bios and 1,26 1,275 on load.

Grab it as is it available!

[aussie-revhead]

sweet, my D1 ES does 4500 at 1.25v, I was happy with that but it craps out at 4950 flat out so Im hoping this next cpu will only get better.

[DjLeco]

Stop talkin' ,and GRAB that L041B204 biatch! (beast)
