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

[deachus]

It seems many of the chips that died were on the MIVE. Dumo, Hazzan, newhit, deachus to name a few, were using this board at the time the CPU died.

Dumo has tested close to 100 2600k's, the majority were tested on the UD7. The only one he has lost died while using the MIVE. I wonder how many others have lost a chip on this board?

Check this For Sale thread out http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...chips-for-sale.

He is selling (2) 2600K's that are same exact batch as my dead chip (3103B306) and he is pumping between 1.68v & 1.76v through these chips at 57x100 on water and SS on UD7 no issues. And he was asking $750 each for the chips?WTF

What the hell hapened to my chip? Are you on to something? Is MIVE doing something we don't know about? I'm so confused and frustrated

It's me who sold them. I'm not sure what you want to hear? I certainly do not want to offend in any way. I used the UD7 and GENE-Z mbds to run them. I kept well away from my old MIVE because it seemed a bit risky. I know that you are all going to remind me that the GENE-Z is a scaled down MIVE but my thinking is that this mbd is a more refined baby MIVE...........anyway it's very quick and easy to use with no apparent suspect areas. (Don't mention the Skews).

I am not looking to hear anything from you, i am using your posting as examples of a theory starting above regarding a trend of MIVE boards being used when 2600K's died, that is all. I did not post/use your thread to bang on you, knock you, or tell you your Gene-Z is anything but fine. Above I posted how my 2600K (same batch as the ones you sold) died with only 1.56vcore at 56X. I think you are reading into my posting a little to much, take it for what its worth.

no deachus 2 exact batches will do dif clocks, MIVE aint doing nothing more than i said...

well anyone has the right to sell his things at the cost he wants but...750 its just crazy inmo

[deachus]

I agree 2 exact batches CAN have dif clocks but if you research the 3103B3XX batch on XS they have all been 56X, 57X, 58X 59X on the ones I saw. I think newhits for sale thread even shows that they are great clockers. I agree with you and have no proof that MIVE is doing weird things but its weird alot of people that had CPU's die where on MIVE. Additionally, mine died with only 1.56vcore and newhit can give his 1.68v-172v no issues. I guess its chip dependant as you stated, regardless of how close or exact the batchs are.

I can't stand this new chip anymore, I am going to Microcenter tonight to grab another one. wish my luck

seek for L045B386

and good luck !

[deachus]

Didn't get a chance to pick up a new chip last night. Wife and baby where leaving for the shore house so I had some things to do. I did get my G.Skill 8GB kit of memory in and new Hyper 212+ for my secondary rig though. Hope to get down to Microcenter today.

[Dumo]

Hope to get down to Microcenter today.

Good luck deachus, pls. post your finding here
Imo, multi testing for >56X and >1.54Vcore will be fine just don't run stress bench with 4C/8T HT on especially on air or regular H20

[aussie-revhead]

Old batch?

[newhit]

but...750 its just crazy inmo

A lot of ppl can lose a lot of money "binning" chips, especially where I live in the UK. If you think it's a crazy price then don't bid for it, that's your choice. But a 57x chip is still quite rare, even if you're waiting for SB-E to come along.

not only in UK mate we all bin chips and here where i live cost 535 dollars each so...i also stated that anyone has the right to sell or ask at what he wants

dont take it personal it was not only my opinion

I'm not taking it personal

You didn't focus on the word "bid" which is not the same as "pay". (OK, I know, it's still "a crazy price" )

[Shrekogre]

my 56x cpu did this



57x is a blinking cursor sometimes.

[Viss]

If chip can do 58xx mhz clocks it should be able to post at 58x, have you tried to set Turbo Ratio in bios By number of cores (non adjustable in OS) ? Helped my chip to boot at 58x (before max was 56x on default settings for turbo ratio)
