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

[Asmola]

You also need to DL the neww Linpack from Intel website and replace the files in LinX Folder with them.

Thank you, works now. Without AVX LLC raise's voltage to 1.37v (1.35 set from bios) and now with AVX voltage raises to 1.40v!

Temps raised also from ~73 to ~75 after couple rounds.

[Falkentyne]

For the 5G is what it was in the PS 1.37v I think, but when loaded he will ask for a bit more 1.39(?). Default VID is high nevertheless around 1.25v. This as the voltages shown by CT, but in the bios with multi 34, it's around 1.23v

I see, so that's a gem of a cpu then for sre.
My first 2600k had 3.4 ghz VID of 1.235v (I think) and the 5 ghz VID was 1.390v. And that chip needed 1.5v at load for 5 ghz. The second one was 1.215v VID for 3.4 ghz and 1.368-1.371v VID for 5 ghz, and needs 1.416v at load for 5 ghz

I'll put him under LN2 this weekend on a lan party, I'll post results after that

[bluestang]

OMG!!! I'm going to kill myself for sure. Just exchanged an L051B138 for a 3103B332 and it's not even stable at 4.6Ghz using 1.350v (the B138 was completely stable then)!!! It's getting worse!

Just took posession of a GA-P67A-UD4-B3 and a 2600k...
But terrible timimg as I'm swamped and have no time in the next 5 days or so...
My skin is just itching with anticipation...
Batch number is L051B138

anyone have try i7 2600K L102B281?

[aussie-revhead]

Has anyone had their pc stop after making a pop type noise? After swapping out all parts its looking like a dead cpu and maybe mobo too, has anyone else had their cpu die when running 1.5v under water cooling with good temps?

[jcniest5]

So, after having so many bad luck with the 2600K, I'm selling my last one and move to 2500K for a change. I know I will miss the HT and 1MB additional L3 cache, but heck with that. Just came back from MC with a new 2500K L101B483 batch and we'll see if this is good or bad. If it's also bad, I'm gonna sell all the SB components and go back to 1366...heheehe...more a joke, but seriously, this SB is probably not for me.

Edit: Just stress-testing a basic OC of CPU Level Up 4.6Ghz on the M4E. Hope it can pass this basic OC. If it does, then I will try a higher speed and see how it goes.

So far it's running very cool! With 4.6Ghz using 1.352v (as shown on CPU-Z), it's showing: 56-57-59-55 with 100% CPU usage (Prime95'ed).

Stay Tuned!

In my recollection, whenever someone said they heard a POP, it was the PSU that fried.

Have you tried a new PSU? I have heard of smoke, literally fire, and bad smells... but when a POP was heard it was a PSU. Usually the POP is an electrolytic cap "tin can" exploding.

[LagunaX]

A P8P67 I had popped and it was a burnt connector strip from the CPU fan on the back of the motherboard with corresponding smoke. I would say psu, mobo, ram frying before a
CPU. It's harder to kill a CPU than the others mentioned above.

[aussie-revhead]

Yes I have never killed a cpu either, after it shut down I noticed no smoke etc, no lights on mobo other than power switch lit, press it and the mobo LEDs flickered quickly then nothing. I suspected psu as its an old benching OP1000 so I swapped it for a good psu, still nothing but a red light shows on the psu (CM real power pro 620) . I swapped cpu and rams onto another EVO this one tries to boot, hdd spins up but mobo post stops at cpu with LED lit on mobo and no red light shows on the psu. I will need another 1155 cpu to confirm and I dont really want to buy one just to test these parts but it looks like Im going to be forced to. I did want to try a 2500K anyway so I guess this is a good excuse.

What do you guys reckon? Dead cpu?

[LagunaX]

I reckon you have a good excuse =)

L045B311, 53x probable wall, blinking cursor at 54x

Imo, most likely your cpu mhz. wall is in between 5.3G~5.39G...try 53X and turn up BCLK

thanks Dumo, I'm gonna do that tomorrow after I get a venomous x and a push pull setup. I don't know what I was thinking when I bought this v8 hehe..

[Demo]

Newbie question here but does the 2600K OC more than the 2500K ?

[lithfkn]

Batch # L102B283

This is the most I've pushed it (so far)

[PytonOrm]

Batch # L102B283

This is the most I've pushed it (so far)

dude give me a break will u !!! only 4,8ghz and no ht on and with that Vcore ? update your bios to there is new bios 1503 to P8P67 Pro

[lithfkn]

I updated bios and turned ht on!

What would you like me to do??

[C-N]

Hey lithfkn its your rig man you do exactly what you want with it & dont worry about people trying to crap on you....

@ PytonOrm dont think there was a need to poo poo a new member mate, he's obviously quite happy & proud enough to contribute to this thread.... were not all as good as you!!!!!

haha, thanks mate!

Wasn't sure whether he was having a go or being sarcastic, it's only my second overclock so I thought I might of stuffed up!

Is 1.43 too high for this clock?

[jcniest5]

They OC about the same, AAMOF, the 2500K actually does it a little better considering it starts with a lower default speed but it can OC to the same speed as a 2600K that has a higher default speed...so, the 2500K is actually the winner here...

[Dumo]

I don't know what I was thinking when I bought this v8 hehe..

Try it with 2 cores and ht disabled to ease up heat

[PytonOrm]

I updated bios and turned ht on!

What would you like me to do??

okey sorry dude i was little bit rude to u, but you can bench with ht on with 4,8ghz your vcore is good to keep it up anyway.. good start

[C-N]

haha, thanks mate!

Well he was offering advice trying to egg you on & mentioning the new BIOS so for that I personally would have been grateful. I just dont get why people with good intentions have to be so harsh.

The vcore is what it is, if thats what it needs there aint much you're going to do about it.... maybe the BIOS PytonOrm mentioned will net you a higher OC maybe it will allow you to lower your voltage I would say the best thing you could do would be to read through threads like this, the ASUS P8P67 Pro & the 5GHz club & make your own mind up about your overclock.

Personally 4.8GHz is plenty fast & IMO you'll not notice an everyday 24/7 difference pushing to the magic 5GHz. It all depends what you want to do with your rig & whether you want to be realistic or max it out & potentially learn the hard way....
