Posted April 12, 201510 yr Over 2300 CPUs Over 70Kg total weight Over 4,5 Mio. MHz in total Now i need time for binning all these CPUs. ^^
April 12, 201510 yr If you want to add 10 high end skt 775 motherboards to that collection,let me know.
April 13, 201510 yr Shit If you need 5 minutes per CPU you will need ~190 hours of work without any break. Assuming you bin 3 hours per day you will need over 2 months of binning every day :D
April 13, 201510 yr bunnyextraction If you need 5 minutes per CPU you will need ~190 hours of work without any break. Assuming you bin 3 hours per day you will need over 2 months of binning every day :D you can actually bin at a pace faster than 1 cpu/minute: -enter desired settings in BIOS (such as 500x6 for Allendale, for example) -swap CPU (cooler attachment no need) -power the platform up -immediately (before it POSTs) power it down -power it up again. the board will set 500x6 instead of the crash-free new-cpu settings so if the setup doesn't post again (apparent after 5-10s) then you have a reject
April 13, 201510 yr Y'know.... one bit of advice i'd give for hardcore CPU binning is to buy a PSU without a rocker switch for power (e.g.... Antec Quattro) The number of power cycles will eventually break the switch. OR.... I have bad luck with PSUs
April 13, 201510 yr Crew The number of power cycles will eventually break the switch. You've heard of that soldering iron device, right Kenny?
April 14, 201510 yr The what? I don't like breaking PSU warranty stickers. Plus, finding an identical switch is sometimes more difficult and/or expensive than (I think) it should be...
April 14, 201510 yr Yeah Kenny is right, it's crazy to break the warranty stickers. Imagine. No warranty!
August 23, 20159 yr But PSUs can be "overclocked" too When I tried to get more of ABit ST6-R mobo, then I increased the voltage PSU produced at 3.3V line in attempt to give more voltage to the rams and chipset. At 3.6V the overvoltage protection stopped me, but... imagine the possibilities! PSUs are fair game too. You can take a look at the old work of mine on old Eurocase PSU that I made fanless: http://trodas.wz.cz/index.php?act=ST&f=16&t=438 ...even that you cannot read the text, you get the idea from the pictures
October 5, 20159 yr Well... Just wait... Price is just a perception on how the potentional buyers see the things are worth. If vast majority of people suddently think, that Skylake i7 is worth next to nothing, it soon become worth next to nothing... no matter what will Intell try to battle it. So, if you need the i7 Skylake price to lower, you gotta employ some tricks from Mr. Bernays (see The Century of the Self for explaination). Edited October 5, 20159 yr by trodas
