[Sandy Bridge 2500K/2600K Batch and Serial Numbers]

Hey

I have the i7 2600k but I don´t find my batch#

 

the batch# is: 3150B465

and the #: 1550

 

What do these numbers mean???

 

This is what the batch number means:

 

3 = costa rica

1 = the year 2011

50 = week 50 so some when in December

B465 = position on waffer.

 

Hope this helps.

Is Boxed....

 

The same CPU on a Extreme4

 

 

Core temp states it's an "engineering sample".

so you just have to put in an ES cpu and than it will work???

are you sure

 

No,i meant he must be using an ES,but he has just stated he's got a retail,even though i was under the impression that "retail"chips are not officialy released till the 29th,apart from "official" testers.

True, but you can not do overclocking. The multiplier is locked in x34.

 

 

You must have an ES sample,retails not due for release till 29th.

Ivy has been supported since F10 bios,or before as far as i know.
