I've noticed/followed your posts in this thread over the last few months and you did seem to have some poor luck with your chip samples. What was the max multi on your best sample?

I binned a few SB my self... but not nearly as many as Dumo and I had my share of average and below average chips along with a couple of decent ones when I finally decided to take a break from binning several weeks back.

I had originally wanted to find a strong low voltage 2600K... 48x stress stable with 1.3v or less and ideally 57x(+) multi but I never did find one.
