Posted April 10, 201312 yr Hello everyone! I'm selling my 2600K and MIVE, I don't need them anymore as I upgraded to Phenom II X4...lol http://hwbot.org/submission/2334802_beepbeep2_cpu_frequency_core_i7_2600k_5759.36_mhz This CPU has hit 5.76 GHz at -30 to -40c, benches 3D around 5.7 and 2D from 5.70-5.75 depending on the benchmark (ie, wPrime 1024M vs SuperPi)... The MIVE unfortunately has a corrupt Intel Management Engine on both BIOS chips, the board runs and works fine except BCLK is locked at 100 MHz. This is pretty easily fixable, I can give directions to the buyer, or the buyer can contact ASUS for repair as the board should still be in warranty until next year IIRC. The BIOS chips are removable as well, if you would like to just buy a drop-in BIOS replacement from ebay or somewhere else. Price is $380 shipped CONUS, $400 shipped worldwide for both the board and the CPU. Thanks! Sam Edited April 10, 201312 yr by BeepBeep2
April 10, 201312 yr Damn this is a steal, would of bought it myself if it wasn't for the bad timing :\
April 10, 201312 yr Author Yeah, I need the cash pretty badly and pretty quickly. Hopefully the combo has a new home by the end of the week, already listed on ebay as well, CPU only for $320.
April 10, 201312 yr Crew Flash the board with Bupdater (I think it is this program, not 100% sure though), it will flash the bios and ME ( the latter will probably be corrupt )
April 10, 201312 yr Author I don't have a heatsink and I don't want to mount a pot and install an OS to do fix this, therefore... This is how to fix it: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1726429 Will part out - CPU $260 shipped Motherboard $120 shipped $370 shipped for both. Edited April 10, 201312 yr by BeepBeep2
