Best 3770k batches for 4.8Ghz+ 24/7 clocks

What batches should I look out for 8Pack?

I have the cooling to handle and want as close to 5Ghz as possible if not dead on 5Ghz.

Just got my new Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 board so should have no issues taking a chip up that high.

Week 18 and 29 Costa where best ever batches. After that I am not sure. I still have some of these so have not needed to test in ages.

Awesome, thanks pack

Just have to email a few e-trailers and see if they have of those batches for sale

That is a damn good board, i was going to get one, but in the end i decided it was too expensive and went for the mpower. I hope you manage to find a good chip to go in that badass board.

You can get them brand spanking new now for £111

what cooling do you have? you'll need a pretty golden chip to do 5ghz 24/7 imo

4.8ghz would be more realistic with a delid and a decent chip

almighty15 · 2 Feb 2014 at 22:13

5Ghz should be quite easy with the right batch..

Got a custom CPU loop with a Thermochil 120.3 at the heart of it

wazza300 · 2 Feb 2014 at 22:15

its just the luck of the silicon lottery,unless you work for intel

as for the board youll have no problems going 5ghz+ just comes down to the cpu regarding voltages and cooling ect

how come you upgraded from a 2600k @ 4.8ghz?

That's why I asked 8pack as if anyone knows which batches would have the highest chance of 4.8Ghz+ it's him

wazza300 · 2 Feb 2014 at 22:18

yh but its getting them,only way is to try your luck from shops or scouring online auctions

I forget the batch of mine off hand but im at 4.8ghz with 1.38v on air

almighty15 · 2 Feb 2014 at 22:23

Some places will check batches for you and will sell you the one you want if they have it.

wazza300 · 2 Feb 2014 at 22:38

be interested to see if you manage to nab one,good luck

Out of interest 8pack, what was your best 3770k regarding less v when it came to 5Ghz, if you did ever test that.

I've got my 3770k running 4.4 @1.130/5v and with not much testing got it running 4.5 @1.175 (I haven't tried to see if it runs lower at 4.5)

I'm thinking of upgrading my cooling just to see If I can hit the Magic 5GHz, it won't be a 24/7 thing, just to see if it will achieve it then back down to 4.5

Geeman1979 · 4 Feb 2014 at 10:39

How do you check what week the Cpu is? Got one here that will run at 5GHz @ 1.35v under load.

wazza300 · 4 Feb 2014 at 11:25

think its the 3rd n 4th numbers ^^ is that with air or water?

Geeman1979 · 4 Feb 2014 at 12:00

An H100 AIO cooler. Temps never over 65 degrees.

wazza300 · 4 Feb 2014 at 12:02

delidded? that's good if non delid,most for me is 1.38v and 72-75c any lower voltage I get whea errors/warnings,using offset voltage

Geeman1979 · 4 Feb 2014 at 12:32

Yeah delidded bud! I've secured the lid back on with sikaflex though so it looks factory again. Couldn't do with it being loose.

almighty15 · 4 Feb 2014 at 12:38

Got a chip that Cosya Rica week 37

Can't find any OC results, even trailing through HWBot serial and batch number thread turns up nothing.

You know anything of this batch 8pack?
