kicsipapucs Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Hi all! Testing waters with a couple hw I have absolutely no use for. First up: 1x 4770k L310B491, eBay Germany scam I "luckily" bought myself, came doa (stuck at 78 post code in several different boards), had to fight for months before getting some of my money back. Almost half a year later accidentally found out it lives on Z97 OCF with a special bios that boots 1c2t even after battery removal, or cmos clr/set defults (I supply the bios file to the possible new owner). After some testing 3c6t works fine, pci-e working fine, IMC is crazy outstanding (at least to me, best I've had), does PSC 2736MHz waza tight with sub stock VCCSA, 2780-2800C8 R15 at stockish SA with some tinkering and good mems. 2666C8 tight, SA 50mV undervolted (0.790V HWiNFO) in Z97 OCF and also indication of a good IMC is that my mems do spi at lower volts than with most of my cpus, so instead of my usual 1.84V they pass 1.83V 2666. Could be a good daily cpu at 4.5GHz 3c6t, or a low clock challenge 2c2t spi machine on phase, maybe a ram tester for anybody wanting something good for that only. CPU has been delidded by eBay scammero and glued back (ugly job) with LM, I didn't re-delid it, no idea what's under the IHS, Conducto or CLU. FYI performance like this is almost always on par or a bit better than clock to clock with an i5-4670/90k in multithreaded applications like R15 or Geek3, etc. 110 euros+shipping EU only. paypal and buyer covers fees. ofc no warranty or returns apart from DOA which is unlikely, but still. Other parts will come up as I progress in testing them for selling. Edit: as Jason stated, there is a Z87 OCF bios too for these kinds of chips, I can provide that one too. Now the cpu works in twice as much of boards. Edited January 3, 2019 by kicsipapucs typos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 This is a really odd situation you have found yourself in. I wish the best of luck for you, your chip, and your board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GtiJason Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Code 78, seen that before. Just want to point out that there is a bios for the Z87 OCF (L1.83A) as well as the Z97 OCF (1.12H) made for 1c2t dead core booting. I thought there was one for the Z87 MOCF as well but I'm not finding it rn so maybe not. Also been told that Asus had one for the Impact? if I remember correctly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 @GtiJason There is a 1c boot bios for the Impact, in the bios list for z87/z97 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
