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

[sfdmalex]

I cant make out my batch number since the sticker was right on the edge of the box where you split it open, however I can make out a D lots of 000 and a 3, might take off the heatsink when the 2nd 570 comes in to check what it is but my chip certainly wants volts for 4800 It's not stable unless I pump a whole 1.465 into it...Any ideas? this seems to be way too much for what the general trend is. I'm on a p8p67 Pro. I dont like running 1.465 through it for obvious reasons, the heat goes into the high 70s low 80s at that voltage and my room is uncomfortably cold. I'm running a Havlik 140mm which is a dual fan 6x heat pipe job which is supposed to cool better then most.

SOLVED
It appears that CPU PLL was causing all the problems with having the need to run high vCore. Since I disabled CPU PLL overvoltage, and lowered the voltage from default 1.8000 to 1.6000 I am able to run lower Vcore Prime stable

I'm not sure what specifically fixed the issue, turning off PLL overvoltage or going from 1.8 to 1.6

I am now able to run at 46x at 1.328 under load in prime, this is a huge improvement, I had to run 1.370 with CPU PLL overvoltage and at the default 1.8 CPU PLL to maintain prime stable 46x before.

I also lowered the load line calibration as it was overcompensating a tad too much. It's at utlra high, anything lower gives a bsod since the volts dip way to low.

So for those with "volt hungry" chips, try turning off the CPU PLL and lower the actual PLL voltage.
