I bought one too an it maxed at 5080 mhz, just a tad worse than the 2600k that I bought with it.

But I did discover possibly is that if you get the top left blinky icon just after post what you can do to get a bit more out of your chip is move your sata cable around to differant ports. I diconeccted my DVD ROM that was hooked up too. Reboot after each position swap an it may just make it into windows. I did it a few times now, I dont know if it was coincidence or it works but worth a shot. Let me know

testing out max benchable frequency

that was probably the easiest 5Ghz+ overclock I have ever done. Now need to focus on efficiency and modding the GPU's....

Dont know about you but I just get the feeling its easier to find a good 2500k than it is a 2600k.....or 2700k for that matter.

With older batch it was definitely true for me. I tested around 40 2600Ks to get 1 57X and 2 56X. And only 3 2500K to get 1 57X & 1 56X.

With the new batches though, it all seems screwed up. Everything looks to be crap.
