gaygay FTF

Intel Core i5 2500k @ 4.7Ghz, Ram at 9-11-9-27 @ DDR3 2133


Its been a while since I OC and run tests

Prime95 v26.6 Build 2-x86 only

Your chip seems to be a lot better than mine For 4.7Ghz, I need 1.4XX Vcore to make it stable. Anyway, I'll just stress it to hell and if it dies, I'll make it as a key chain So long for a crap piece of chip!

need sommore vcore to totally stable ones. Cause BSOD half way gaming with COD:BO zombies. added 1 more notch vcore. no more

Newer LinX Linpack, 10.3.3.006

Hello Sifus,

I will be joining this club soon.. hehe.

batch hunting think malaysia no luck this time

true can buy overseas but from past experience hard to resell later and also that is not guaranteed either

hopefully we will get better luck during the 6 core above on sandy etc
we were lucky on getting quite good 920's

I've read that Prime95 is the best tool to stress Sandy Bridge CPU's. In my case, Prime could pass for hours but still it is unstable sometimes, lol. I'm not sure what's happening. Any ideas?

dunno bro, I usually after stress test, will try to game with the system, if no BSOD, then its stable enough for me. Usually if its not stable, when playing COD:zombies online, when lot of zombie, it will go bsod. and I become a leaver

Havent try cstkl1 method though, which is playing dota on a pendrive. Will try it out soon...

I play COD Black Ops multiplayer, Civillization 5 and DOTA these days. I'm not sure but it looks like Prime/LinX can't conclude if the chip is really stable because we can pass the test for hours and it still crashes sometimes, lol.

Even bosses play Dota. Should back to my old hobby. Dota!

Really nice OC
These new Sandybridge seem like very good processor choices for 24/7 usage

go for linx 500 run so far i dont have 1 time BSOD/crash in continuous gaming 8 hours ( back ops,crysis 2, shift2)

My Maximus will return as B3 tomorow hehe..
Old B2 suffered from dead IME part causing BCLK refused to clock above 100. Quality issues.

normally would say that true
but looking at ure track record for rma

user issue LOL

actually it is a known issue. Pt1t also reported the same bug at hwbot.

500 times is a bit too long I don't have the patience

just let your pc run overnight la....

I had it run overnight with Prime95 Blend yesterday. It was 6 hours plus of stress and didn't crash. However when I was surfing the net, my PC hung, LOL. No ideas why but I will test further to see why is that. Board is ASUS Maximus 4 Extreme B3 with latest BIOS.
