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

[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!
