I'm still waiting on my P67 Sabertooth and memory. I tried a Google search last night on my cpu and there wasn't much of anything showing. I only found one other person as having the same batch number: 3101A209.

I haven't taken it out of the package to find the 4 digit number on the wafer. Have any of you come across this batch yet? In the even't you have, are these able to hit upwards of 4.6-4.8Ghz?
 
From what I've read, Sandy Bridge doesn't always have batches that perform better than another. Its really the luck of the draw as to whether or not your CPU can overclock as well as any other one.

Most should be able to hit 4.6GHz without too much trouble. Think I'll have a go at it within the next month or so.
 
you can also see the # of the CPU if you look at the sticker on the box. The last 4 digits of the S/N are the same as the ones on the black sticker on your CPU.

Whatever cooling this is lol

From what ive read there is no special batch for SB CPUs. Simply luck of the draw as skizzle said. I played with a rare C batch that was supposedly a crazy overclocking batch and couldnt get it stable at the same settings as a random B batch i had.

That would be me :D
Does 4.5 ghz at 1.236v load (Bios 1.265v with LLC1) and 5 ghz 1.404v load (1.445v bios LLC1). It runs a lot hotter than my cpu that needed 1.48 vcore for 5 ghz (assuming same vcore on each cpu), but uses lower voltage. And default VID at 3400 is 1.21v.

It's not a "Rare" batch. It's a costa rica cpu (3=costa rica, 1=2011). Malaysia is Intel's main plant (L=Malay), and it was the Malaysian plant that started production first, which is why so many cpu's out there are Malay. You can tell from the batch dates of the Costa Rica chips that the CR plant ramped up production after Malaysia.

Ok, now end the suspence and start benching it! See if you can do 4.5 ghz with a load voltage under 1.27...

More importantly, post the default VID shown at 3.4 ghz (the vid should be between 1.20 to 1.26v. This is NOT the vcore shown in health monitoring).

did you leave the pll override off?
 
Get realtemp 3.67 on the RT techpowerup page.
What did you mean PLL off for <1.4v and on for >1.4v?

That's an amazing 32m score.

lol that x 58 multiplier ain't mine. That's a gem everyone was looking for. The first one popped its head out. Still stuck at 5.5Ghz .

The voltage 1.4v if you go over that you need the pll on.
If your under that you need to disable it.
It gives stability especially at 5Ghz which is normally around 1.4v .
cpu-z is it still giving problems with your board?
 
the three that have come acrpss my desk all are 3xxxxaxx none where Lxxx they all did 4.6-4.8ghz at less than 1.325v so where ok not super
 
Um, can you watch the typos and clean up the grammar so it's easier for us to understand what you're saying?

Are you saying that the three costa rica chips you found all did 4.6-4.8 ghz at less than 1.325v?
If those vcores are correct, then they could be anywhere between good chips (mine is 5 ghz @ 1.404v) to golden chips. Have to test them at 5 ghz to see.
 
Nice clocks, but look at those voltages...ouch...
The one with HT on is impressive.
What do they do at 5 ghz?
 
I just got a 3103B332 #4244...we'll see how it OCs as I try to bin it.

Edit: I can forget about OCing this crappy chip. It's not even stable at 4.6Ghz using 1.350v like my previous one (of which I exchanged it for this current one). What a big mistake. My CPU binning experiment is only getting worse. I am really running out of patience binning CPUs...perhaps it's not my thing.

Ouch. :(

Nothing feels worse than getting a crappy OC'er that can't meet up to even "mediocre" chips. I'm hoping my 2500k that's in the mail right now won't be a disappointment.
 
Well, I had to have it exchanged for a different one, same batch, just different SN# (2442). So far it's being Prime95'ed and so far it hasn't reboot/crashed at 4.6Ghz like the one before this one did. Hope that's a sign of good thing to come. Stay tuned...
