Any decent z77 board should be fine. I didn't have to bin my maximus v extreme at all, and when I test on i5 3470 my z77 ocf seemed capable of 110+ so I really wonder how much board needs to be binned. Although my results are better than some so I really wonder if the cpu DOES need to be on ss, as I've never run this stuff ambient.

I mean probably a fair decision. Buying off the bot is basically a guarentee it won't be a golden chip. 10 or so g470s should be plenty to get a pretty nice chip though, from my experience.

People just salty that they didn't win

Decent g470's (no gold, but plenty good enough for 0.6 )should be for sale soon

For context, currently the cheapest g470 on ebay is $38.99

evga k-boost should work, might need to flash an evga bios if you don't have an evga card

For sale I have 4x 2600k's from my binning project. All tested at 1.55v on SS. Looking for $80+ship each, should be decent daily chips or perhaps you know more about sandy OC than me and can eek some more out of them, I know I certainly don't feel like I know how to OC 2600k If you're interested or have questions you can comment or PM me https://imgur.com/a/KIFlr

Looks like a good deal for anyone in EU After this looks like main supply will be US import, and even shipping small things can't be very cheap over seas

No worries, I will flood the market but it'll be US market. After shipping I can't see most of my rejects being worth it across seas. Although part of that has been that US fleabay has been very kind to me, I've never paid >$20 per chip. Can't speak for other markets. Now to track down some l3014's that are less than $90 a piece

As soon as I can get it to actually save my profile to a USB I have a "magic" bclk profile for sandy bclk. It won't help every chip, but my experience has been that if the chip doesn't like it then it wasn't going to be a 109+ chip anyways. I think there is a little scaling from cold, but mainly binning is what matters as I've also had chips that won't break 106 bclk on ss. For my g470 gold I had bin like 5 or 6 chips. I have probably another 10 more that I ordered before I knew how many to bin, so I'll test those and see how many do 108+ and 109+ when I get around to it.

Also just had this come in today, so that should help a lot https://imgur.com/a/VymnL

Hmm... I need to finish binning my g470s and get some dice for the mems then. Perhaps I can still break 0.62

And you don't have issues with signal integrity or crosstalk with those wires being so long?

Oooh competition. Looks like the pressure is on :P

Correct

You were doing ivy pentiums right? I've found the sandy IMC to be very consistent, but for the few ivy pents that I've binned for hd graphics (ivy) I found the imc to be very variable, some did 1800 max and others did 2350 so it seems you really have to bin the IMC on ivy with the low tier chips. It's a shame that my mve has murdered all of my ivy pents if I try unstable mem settings (I can only assume it was slamming vccsa and vccio when trying to train in ln2 mode) otherwise I might have had some ivy chips to offload. Took me 6 chips just to finally get one that could sub scores before being murdered, and it was a 1926 mhz limited imc.

I don't know how your g470s are so bad? I've binned probably at least 10 and 1100-1150 is basically a given. Are you sure it's not your board/wrong vccsa and vccio? I haven't had an imc flake out with the 2133 divider until you start hitting about 109+ bclk. Are you trying to use hypers? Cause I did find that sandy despises hypers and I had to use psc. If you need any help with locked sandy OC I can share a little.

It's "out", hwbot just has to update some things on their end so the ranking get 3 decimals.

You missed the 6 days preceding that

New driver helps a lot vs old driver, wish I'd realized that last night

Yeah, pretty good bin. Mine only does 5.8, perhaps less in some benches.

Did you try disabling tessellation in the driver?

I think it's pretty clear that your gpu is powerful enough to be slightly singlethreaded limited for the gpu test
