I've actually done 69xx (sort of) with your usual blunder of CPU-Z version being a few days too old. I even still have the invalid .cvf files all the way up to 6888. https://abload.de/img/dsc09848e4ewv.jpg But, for more than 10 years since that score I have been browsing eBay and German marketplaces on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis, having gone through another 116 chips, and the closest I got is 6770-6780. Luumi has been similarly active and he's also nowhere near 6800. Sure, there are always good chips "out there" since overclockers don't even touch 1% of the CPU population, but given the ever-decreasing sales rates (due to people just scrapping E8600s), it's likely that this 6820 will stand forever.

It's not as easy as you think. First, don't forget that Andre and the rest of OC community (especially German Prime95 guys) have binned E8600s in hundreds and only got this far. Second, newer versions of CPU-Z are much harder on stability, even in XOC mode, compared to the old ones. In some extreme / isolated cases, I get a 20-25MHz difference in FSB suicide clocks between versions 1.54 and 1.85. Third, binning E8600s now is bigger pain than it was in the hey day. None of the US / Asian sellers on eBay have the right batches, so you have to look through the private offers that pop up no more often than a few times a year. Theoretically, you could roll the dice and go through a few hundred 2009-2010 chips, which are easy to get and are sometimes quite good (I've had a Q92-something up to 6.8GHz idle). But, you simply won't be able to resell as there is NO demand for 775 dualcores with quadcores (especially Xeons) being so cheap.

Your G.Skill 2666C11 are actually one of the early kits based on Hynix 2Gbit CFR. They switched to 4Gbit MFR later on.

Biostar: Assuming if not CPU-limited (binned CPU and/or on cold) these boards usually do 675-685 with stock heatsink. Were your 655 done with CPU on air? What did the same CPU do in other boards? A few months ago these boards were listed on eBay for $60-80 by a Chinese seller but they are gone now. If you're patient, you can source 1-2 boards per year from German eBay / forums for 30-40€ a piece. E8400: Based on my results from 100++ chips, I would say that 5.1GHz 1.45V suicide is pretty much as good as Wolfdales get. However, core is only part of the story with E8400. Who cares if it has a 6.5+ LN2 capable core if FSB can't do 700? I've no idea if this is the right methodology, but I also bin E8400s on FSB. My best chips can do 630 32M on air (on a TP45HP) and suicide around 670, which might be board's limit. E2140 / E2160 / E6300: I sold quite a few of these last year. You can gauge the prices from my threads: https://community.hwbot.org/topic/169971-fs-775-cpus-asus-p5e3-premium/ https://community.hwbot.org/topic/166228-fs-binned-c2d-e6300-e8400-rampage-extreme/ https://community.hwbot.org/topic/163158-fs-binned-core2duo-e6300-gt570-fsb-air/ https://community.hwbot.org/topic/162761-fs-binned-e2140e2160-gt475-fsb/ https://community.hwbot.org/topic/163859-fs-binned-core2duo-e6300-e6400-e6750-571-575-fsb/ https://community.hwbot.org/topic/168083-fs-binned-lga775-cpus-e2140-e2160-e6300-e8400/

Can't believe the SF3D pot is still there at this price. By far one of the easiest pots for CB / CBB prone CPUs.

No beer. Score not valid.

First two sticks are part of the same kit. The rest are part-outs because many kits are very uneven and when you start molesting them, "having a second stick just for having a complete kit" doesn't really matter anymore.

It's all in the linked screenshots.

https://abload.de/img/img_0088ggsom.jpg Up for sale are the remainders of my best PSC, which are the end result of 5 years (2011-2016) of careful binning. After nearly two years of sitting in my closet untouched, I tried to give them a proper sendoff earlier this year, but the session ended up in a disaster due to lack of proper insulation (as I only had vaseline at my disposal). Given my current lack of motivation and testing equipment, I would rather pass these on to someone who is still energetic about this type of IC. --- Sticks #1 and #2 are part of an early-2011 kit of 2200C7 PI. These have a KO8155 PCB. These still work fine on air, but last time I tried these on cold the system shut down at -50c in BIOS to never POST again. A similar issue has already happened with this kit around 4 years ago, where some oven time has got rid of it for a few sessions. Some results: Air: 32M @ 1333 @ 8-12-8 @ 1.82V (by me): https://abload.de/img/1333c8_182v_32m_z97roztkck.png Air: 32M @ 1333 @ 8-12-8 @ 1.84V (by websmile): https://abload.de/img/1333c8_184v_32m_z97roeakdg.jpg LN2: 32M @ 1441 @ 6-9-6 (by me?https://abload.de/img/443813zjjxp.jpg LN2: 32M @ 1466 @ 6-10-6 (by me?https://abload.de/img/553890pbj44.jpg LN2: 32M @ 1404 @ 6-9-6 (by Dancop): http://hwbot.org/submission/2784525 LN2: 32M @ 1429 @ 6-9-6 (by Dancop): https://abload.de/img/1430c6_xxxv_32m_z97roi5k5p.jpg LN2: 32M @ 1443 @ 6-10-6 (by Dancop): https://abload.de/img/1443c6_227v_32m_z97royxkn8.jpg LN2: XTU @ 1466 @ 5-10-6 (by Dancop): https://abload.de/img/1466c5_230v_xtu_z97rouyj08.jpg LN2: MaxxMem @ 1500 @ 6-10-6 (by Dancop): https://abload.de/img/1500c6_xxxv_maxxmem_n1k4u.jpeg LN2: FS Physics @ 1507 @ 6-10-6 (by Dancop): https://abload.de/img/1507c6_xxxv_physics_70krk.jpeg Note that my LN2 results were achieved with a very special IMC so I'm not sure if anyone can reproduce the clockspeeds, even in ideal conditions. --- Stick #3 is a part of mid-2010 kit of 2300C8 PI. This has a KO8117 PCB. It no longer POSTs even on air, but this has also happened before and was fixed by XA's certified ghetto repair technique . Some results: Air: 32M @ 1333 @ 8-12-8 @ 1.87V (by me, single-channel): https://abload.de/img/1_1333c8_187v_32m.tig0pjuj.png LN2: 32M @ 1400 @ 6-10-6 @ 2.18V (by me, single-channel): https://abload.de/img/1_1400c6_218v_32m.ln24tjdn.png LN2: 32M @ 1466 @ 6-10-6 @ 2.28V (by me, single-channel): https://abload.de/img/1_1466c6_228v_32m.ln2bbk3y.png LN2: 32M @ 1500 @ 6-11-6 @ 2.36V (by me, single-channel): https://abload.de/img/1_1500c6_236v_32m.ln2pykfd.png LN2: 32M @ 1400 @ 6-9-6 @ 2.24V (by me, dual-channel): https://abload.de/img/1dual_1400c6_224v_32mn0j77.png --- Last stick is from an early-2010 kit of 2000C9 Tridents. Is absolutely useless on cold as it fails even 1333 6-10-6 even though it's not too bad on air: 32M @ 1333 @ 8-12-8 @ 1.88V: https://abload.de/img/2_1333c8_188v_32ma3jb9.png --- The mems are sold as is, i.e. with no original heatsinks, covered in thermal paste, vaseline and bartx aluminium heatspreaders. These are sold explicitly as damaged and/or dead, so there will be no returns. I've no idea how to price them in today's reality, so I'd start at 150 Euros excluding shipping, while being open to all reasonable offers.

I've never sold any score. I simply enjoy binning interesting hardware and benching it in a company of friends, rather than sitting on it for years. -

I'm a simple man. If you invite me over and pay for the beer, I'll bring my hardware. I don't care about hwbot for almost three years now so it's none of my business as to who uploads the scores and how .. -
Sold.

Up for sale is my best set of B-die. Despite the low bin (3200C15) it's pretty reliable for 32M at 2066 12-11-11 although, being an old kit, it won't do copywaza even at 1933. My results: websmile's results: Asking 200 Euros + shipping. My preferred method of payment is IBAN banktransfer but PayPal is also possible if buyer takes care of the transaction fees.

Deal. My bank details are the same. Letter shipping for you is free. Thread can be moved.

Up for sale is a Pentium E2140 CPU. I've tested 600 pcs of this model in late 2016 and this is the only one that did more than 500MHz FSB on air. However, on LN2 it's not so great as it stops around 535MHz. I've pretty much given up on binning Allendales so don't expect me to have a better E2140 laying around and/or finding a better CPU any time soon. Some screenshots. Air: https://abload.de/img/191_3600_140v_32mrlu7n.png LN2: https://abload.de/img/191_4200_32m_ln2mxuxz.png LN2: https://valid.x86.fr/jk877v Asking 20 Euros + cost of shipping. My preferred method of payment is IBAN banktransfer, but PayPal is also possible if buyer covers the transaction fees.
