August 2, 201410 yr G3258 batch: 3420B753 bunnyextraction chip, needs 1.45V to run cinebench r11.5 @ 4.7ghz on air (prolimatech armageddon). Still need to test under cold, will update with results asap. Â Edited August 2, 201410 yr by NoMS
August 4, 201410 yr my 3rd 4790k is L420B831 does only 4.8@1.35 wprime 1024m on water...exact like my 2nd. bios vid at stock 1.064, stock under load cpuz shows 1.216v. big shit..
August 4, 201410 yr Author Crew i will update OP soon guys!! just had a very busy week lol. and the results are so demotivating still nothing better than L418C221 / 223 Â Â also some vids are wrong, on MSI my vid is 1.078 in bios but on gigabyte it is 1.44 which is correct lol cause it was epic terrible cpu. Â we should look at 4.4ghz vid. so boot windows and load the cpu and check what cpu-z says when its at 4.4ghz
August 4, 201410 yr 3x L418C276 G3285 http://i.imgur.com/JrKsQt1.png  1.134 VID, if I'm not wrong 4.5GHz 1.27V 32M 5GHz 1.5V no boot, 1.55 can't load XP.  All 3 quite identical.  5.7GHz 1.8V Cinebench R15, CB -135. 5.8 boots to windows, but no stability with CB15 - 0x124 BSOD. Tried higher and lower vcore and vccin.  Now stuck at 78 post code, not sure what is it, board works with another cpu. IMC dead?  The other one I sold - 4.7GHz 1.42V Prime95 1hr stable on air, with max temp 83. The one I benched under cold - I guess same Prime95 (all 3 identical), Cinebench R11.5 and R15 - same 4.7GHz with 1.42V. 4.8 - no go. Edited August 4, 201410 yr by I.nfraR.ed

August 4, 201410 yr Author Crew turbon - on should be the true vid, i dont like my 4790k hiding behind 1.44v at 4.4ghz hahaha
August 4, 201410 yr turbon - on should be the true vid, i dont like my 4790k hiding behind 1.44v at 4.4ghz hahaha  it's the same vid on bios with/without turbo,just to read on giga mobos u need to disable turbo.
August 4, 201410 yr Seems all of the g3258's here are Malaysian. Just picked up a Costa Rican 3418c001 From local MC. Trying to wait patiently wait for Impact VII to test.

August 5, 201410 yr We found that batch quite accurately determines coldbug too. The C001's we tested would all do about -130, and then the few B977's we tested did around -105 Â Also, if you find a good chip get one with a serial that's close and it should clock about the same.

Â i back this statement, if you find a gem, try find its brother with close serial!
August 5, 201410 yr C001 is good batch Tested 3 Chips of them, 6.05, 6.1 and 6.2+ Â What is the serial numbers of the ones you tested?
August 6, 201410 yr Decided to try one more time, smaller potato this time. Same batch L418C276 (no other available here since the beginning ) Â Finally 5GHz 32M 1.44V VID on auto according to MPOWER is 1.120. Â If it has the same -135 CB should be better than the previous one. Â PS: G3258
August 7, 201410 yr C001 is good batch Tested 3 Chips of them, 6.05, 6.1 and 6.2+ Now I'm really getting impatient. Lol. I'll be testing on water, but hope this will be my first chip to put under cold.
August 7, 201410 yr i tryed 5 XXXc001 best 1 . 6,1 1m sp . potato tomato chips testet 12 pieces and 2 more comming tommorow
August 8, 201410 yr omg omg what a situation. bought 4th 4790k L420B732 from hardwareversand.de and it was already binned. the box was intact but the cpu in the plastick box was rotaded 90 degrees against clock,and had cooler signs. well....what shoud i had to do....tested and it does 4.7@1.25 4.8@1.3 4.9@1.4 no go freezes what a bunnyextractionty situation. i'm building my phase change but can't get a good cpu...... Â i called them,and they sed to send it back,and next time i order they sed that will be brand new.yep,sure...hope so Edited August 8, 201410 yr by superV
