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

[i_max2k2]

thanks buddy i really dont know that as im very new to the MIVE but this is my best batch ever only needs 1,408 load for this

cheers

Are all those runs on water? When I dint have water, with all settings on auto, I was increasing the multi and I went up till 5.2ghz (and I dint want to go higher), I'm yet to try anything higher then 5ghz, I guess I'll give it a shot tonight.

Your costa is a good one too Andre


Imo, different in maximum multi on each of sb cpu (even from the same batch) have something to do with how quick throttling will start...

Take a look @ cpu #1 and cpu #3 above....running with the same mobo under single stage cooling and almost identical bios settings (vcore a bit different)...pay attention to cores temp on ea. chip. @ load...

cpu #3 can bench 4C/8T at -/+ 10 Mhz from its maximum Mhz. wall whereas the other 3 need significantly less Mhz to be able to bench Vantage, '06 or Wprime 4C/8T

I think Intel put a lock on internal throttling mechanism inside the cpu cores and ea. 2600K/2500K has different Mhz wall or core temperature limit which can trigger throttle...wonder if software mod. can open it up....like this http://www.asusrog.com/forums/showth...and-Workaround

Those are some xtreme clocks

I was wondering how can I know the cpu's wall? and how do we determine which batch was manufactured where?

Thanks!
