i7 2700K

No, the study of the specific 100 mentioned was with D2 chips. only

The overall sampling was with a much higher number of D1 and D2 chips. The 100 was a controlled study, however.

I suggest everyone read the link.

ASOS ROG group are no amateurs. These are the designers of the Maximus boards, and the guide is extremely thorough. Yes PLL OV was addressed as was every other BIOS setting.

ok so you think that a test that was used almost a year ago with un tweaked bios on early p67 boards can be used to say how well 2600ks do in the real world?

go over to xtreme systems and see how many peoole have 2600ks over 50x multys and that 100 cpu test was done with max of 1.45v core and air cooling.

all those results were to give you a % of what a typical safe overclock will get you.

here is a quote from the test.

Generally 4.8GHz stability can be achieved at 1.400 – 1.425 Vcore.

they were testing what chips can do with low volts but the people that are buying 2700ks were hoping they would get the 54+ multys working with extreme overclocking and voltage.

you have a relabled 2600k,same stepping and its in the same results as 90% of the 2600ks.

now if you were linx stable with 8 threads with stock cooler at 5.1ghz at 1.425 volts we could say these are indeed a better bin but from early testers is that they perform the same as 2600ks and its the luck of the draw to get a crazzy clocking chip that will hit 57-58x

I would like to get a better picture between the 2600k and the 2700k. It is entirely possible that the 2700k could OC, on average, better with more acceptable voltages. That still means it could have the same ceiling as the 2600k, or it could be higher.

If the 2700k OCs to 4.6-5.0ghz with a lower voltage/power usage vs. 2600k, then I would be comfortable saying it is a better CPU. I really doubt the ceiling will be appreciably higher, but that is TBD. If it ends-up across the board OCing the same as the 2600k, the chips would be the same for our crowd. For the non-OC guy, its a little bump in performance. *shrug*

people need to see that intel put out this small bump just to get the edge and win in every bench against the AMD FX BD core.

same stepping and just for you guys to know,every 2600k at first clocks really well with low volts and then it hits a spot when it needs a little more.

All my 2600ks did stable 4.7-4.8 clocks with really low vcores and then a month or so after they needed a small voltage bump.

Time will tell but Im sure the ops 2700k is maxing out right where his 2600k was.This is a small bump just to grab the whole market over amds FX chips.

interesting, because my 2500K cooler looks just like that 2600K cooler pictured.

I wonder if the new 2700K cooler is such to save on manufacturing or to improve performance. (or both, in a perfect world)

mine looks like a hybrid of the two shown. my heat sink fins are curved like the 2700k cooler but have the y look of the 2600k cooler. my fan looks like the 2600k cooler fan though.
