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!

I'm only able to get this to OC to 5Ghz (50x100) at 1.512v (using Offset at +.200) with everything else at Auto. It begins to dawn on me that it may not be any CPUs I've got. Maybe it's my two boards.

what anyone ever tried batch L102b281?

Is that 2500K or 2600K?
