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

[Gaul]

The VID is the "target" voltage shown in the BIOS, next to your "Auto" or "manual" voltage selection. This is not the "current voltage reading" actually going into the CPU, but the "target VID." The current actual vcore the CPU is using (power wise) will ALWAYS be lower than the VID, unless you are using loadline calibration (at high levels).

You can also see the VID by starting the computer into windows and using realtemp 3.67 (EIST/speedstep/C3/C6 must be disabled).

For example, in the BIOS, to the left of where you can choose your manual voltage, you will see a VID (might be labeled "Voltage" or just "Target").

If the VID is really 1.15v at 3.4 ghz, then the vcore in health monitoring should be almost 1.13v or lower, and in windows, if you run prime 95, it should be 1.0v or lower.

If you don't turn off EIST, C1, C3 and C6 save settings and reboot then it shows low vid voltages like that, however once you boot back in to the bios you will see the true VID.

hmm let me know my vid, which one



(EIST/speedstep/C3/C6 must be disabled). ----> Done

LLC Auto = 1212 v
LLC Enable = 1.236 v

4.2 GH on 1.224
