Not that uncommon, albeit he went through about 4 if you ask him to get that one:o.

Mine does 4.8 at 1.375v

I had one that was faulty, got an rma and the second one was a stinker, could barely do 4.2Ghz at 1.3v so purchased the Intel tuning plan and got a very good sample. So three in total. :cool:

Maybe i should get me a 5960x and a 980ti or FuryX in the near future...

It's not impossible, it's just those sorts of odds are in the tens to millions range.


It's ok. I won't hate the player. I wouldn't be very happy with a dud either :p

The first one wasn't a dud though, it was decent enough but it was clearly faulty. Would almost do 4.5Ghz at 1.3v so not too bad at all. The second was a stinker though so i immediately purchased the tuning plan. Glad i did now.

There are some great chips coming off the J batch currently, have seen people paying exta ordinary pricing from Silicon*******.com for them.

I can't remember the exact price without looking it up, but i think i paid roughly £20 for the tuning plan. The Cpu was free, so all in all, i can't complain.

The chance of getting one worse than my second one were pretty low, so figured i had nothing to lose.
 
I have four CPU from J batch that can bench 5g on water all day long at less than 1.4v and maybe 6 more that can bench 4875 with 1.35-1.375v this is with high uncore and C11 3000mhz mems.

The 5g ones are rock stable 4.9 1.325v for 24/7 use. Just found these in last three - four weeks. Great OC on LN2 also ;)

Nice. Yeah like I say it looks like there's some really good ones flying out the oven past month or so. I don't think I'm bothered enough to nab myself one, but 5Ghz at less than 1.4v is pretty rocking.

Slightly higher score with 10mhz more and tightened memory. Don't think my card can go any higher without voltage. It doesn't say but it was at 1080/550.

Fury Pro;

Graphics 15882
Physics 8789
Score 12418

I'l have another go at 4.8. I think the problem I was having with fluctuating scores was because I had AMD's raptor recording software auto running when I launched this :).
 
How's this for weird, Firestrike scaling seems to be bottled around 147fps, it won't go higher, so two scaling is poor and three is fairly non existent lol. Checked there's no artificial frame caps in place. No idea what's causing it.
