nolah.. just another batch of 2600K. 

same here bro. I asked my GF to buy for me at LYP
The whole Penang is out of stock since 2 weeks ago.
But I heard new stock will reach on 27th, so by Friday u can grab one.

Im not worried coz when the new replacement board arrives then only swap one to one with them. Stil got another one for spare.
Hit 85glops when i bump vcore from 1.5v to 1.51v, but fail LinX at 19.

This might sound stupid, but what is the problem with P67 board anyway, my noob brain could not understand what's going on here. I'm using Asus P67 pro.. should i be worry ?

erm guys...
wanna ask 1 question...
is asus m4e+i5 2500k is OC able like asus m4e+i7 2600k??
different only on HT right??  
my budget is kinda tight now...just can afford i5 2500k...mybe....
beside i like asus M4E design....

not just ht dude..

l3 cache..thats a biggie difference.

what ram ur using?

Yup, suddenly i got disk parity error this morning, i was like waffak?

I never ever encounter this error before when i'm still using my c2d system, now with sandy. my god, i can't wait this april for a replacement mobo.

Miscellaneous Information.

Below are some snippets of information that I suspect will become frequently asked questions, and will be updated regularly:

Sandy Bridge has only been around for a short time, but sadly, there is an incredible amount of confusion regarding certain aspects of voltage adjustment. The information below, comes directly from Asus, Gigabyte, Corsair and Intel PMO (Platform Memory Operations), and to the best of my knowledge is 100% correct at the time of writing this. Of course, if any new information comes to light, I will update this section.

Sandy Bridge does not demand only 1.5v modules, it will be perfectly happy with 1.65v modules too. If someone tries to tell you that you must have 1.5v modules, then they are either trying to sell them to you, or they have been reading misinformation, or both! Another point to consider here, is that in your BIOS, if you head to the memory voltage setting, and enter 1.5v, the text will remain white/grey, if you enter 1.65v, it will turn yellow, and it isn't until 1.73v that it turns red, so at the moment, I'd rest assured that 1.65v modules are OK to use, and I have had this confirmed by Asus, Gigabyte and Corsair so far, as soon as I hear from anyone else, I will update this again.

Sandy Bridge does not require there to be a maximum of 0.5v between the VDIMM value and the VCCIO and VCCSA values when 1.65v voltage modules are used.

BCLK Overclocking will not murder your CPU or motherboard. There is absolutely no evidence to support the rumours that adjusting the BCLK upwards on a locked or unlocked CPU will kill/damage it. What will happen, is that the system will become unstable, and you will lose control of things like your hard drive or graphics card, resulting in instability, corruption or the inability to start up properly. As with any overclocking induced instability, simply reduce the overclock and you will find that normality resumes - If you have suffered a SATA problem, then you may have to run your Windows repair console to get the boot loader back.

Ok great . Thanks owikh . Looking for i7 2600K now . Hopefully can get 2nd hand . Heh .

Most prolly 2000 9-10-9 yes but theres always a trick to do 9-9-9 hehe..
Arghh btw i cant simply mix up between one 2GB stick from a kit with another kit it's unstable think one of the reason why couldnt do fine on 4 sticks.

I told myself to stop catching up with technology but I guess this PC crap is in my blood. Now I'm thinking of getting the i5 2500K and Asrock Extreme 4. Any thoughts? I suppose all i5 2500K would easily do 4.6Ghz or more but the concern is with the mobo. It's cheap though

I believe that is the case. I thought of living with my beloved i3 and now I end up spending $$$ yet again metsatsu is the culprit! He kept on asking me if I wanted to upgrade so I started reading about Sand beaches and I'm poorer now.

I manage to quickly and easily get 4.6Ghz out of the box The heat which is produced is also unbelievably low. I am using a Hyper 212+ with 2 x F12 (push/pull) and temps never exceed 65C LinX or Prime. However my chip is a dud, it needs more voltage to be stable at that clock speed

Question: What is core current limit and what does it do?

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!

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?

My chip is a voltage sucker Although it could do 4.7Ghz but it needs massive Vcore. Sad!
