Sold long ago. Please move.

Not really. My strategy is to bin 50+ models at once, this way you can be very selective and still have a steady flow of interesting chips coming in. I try to bench them on LN2 once every couple of months, afterwards nearly everything goes back on sale. As for this 2600K, I just borrowed it from Petrovich

No BSEL mod. I tried it on a couple of other E21x0s and didn't see any difference.

You can usually get Hypers to run even on weak Z97 boards if you cap the bandwidth (which causes freezes) by downclocking CPU and/or uncore (to 1.6-2.4GHz). To bin for 1000MHz on X48 you first need a board that can reliably do it, and those are not easy to come across.

My rule of thumb is test 1000 7-7-6 at 1.65V first. If it passes, try to minimise voltage (best kits will need 1.55-1.56) and then to proceed to other stuff, such as 900 6-6-5 or 1100 7-x-x. If it doesn't, the kit is not likely worth the attention.

Don't mix 2400C9 and 2400C10 TridentX please The former have never existed as single-sided modules.

Thanks for sharing!

nice try

Yes, the 2666C11 are most likely Hynix MFR which are only good for raw frequency (max validations). Your current 2400C9 TridentX (Samsung-based) are a much better choice for performance.

Kudos for openly sharing!

Maaaad!

Pentium E2140 CPU. FSB maxes out around 470 on air. Asking 10 Euros. Price includes worldwide shipping.

5.2GHz 1.187 isn't too unrealistic. Normally, chips scale at 0.04V per 100MHz and I had chips that did 5.0GHz at 1.100V.

no scope?

Sold.

That chip is screaming for PSC

...not coming

I've been documenting my costs since 2010 (thoroughly since 2012). At the moment my wallet is 806 Euros down compared to August 2012 (when I moved to NL) but I still have most of that money in CPUs and expensive memory kits.

Another 50-pointer for the team. Good job!

Done on M6E, this sandbag must be at least 6 months old. Good job!

A possible solution is to downclock the CPU only for the first few seconds of the physics test and then put the clocks back up. Although I've seen people do hassle-free full runs at 5.7GHz++ so it must be fixable.
