OCUK Binned i7 7700k's - Only 4.8Ghz??

+1, 99.99999% of 7700k's will do 4.8Ghz easily.
I tested around 300 CPU so far.
Terrible is 4.7ghz about 3%
About 45% can do 5ghz with delid. About 18-20% can do 5.2ghz with Delid (Xtreme Bundle CPUm is this one or above),about 4% can do 5.3 with delid and 1% 5.4 with delid. The above figures are 24-7 stable for Real Bench, XTU with 3D running etc etc.
The rest are 4.8-4.9 capable.
The 4.8 bundles are not binned cpu they are none binned.

What can the majority do 24/7 on a £70 AIO cooler? with lids, thats more real world.

So a £500+ premium for the 5/5.1 GHz bundles gets you 200-300 MHZ for your money?
Can't see a massive market for it. But then I guess you don't need a massive market for this as it acts as a nice advert for OCUK and the rest of the product lines. The majority of slightly more knowledgeable users with basic OC experience will probably not bother with the bundles unless they want golden chips for benching.

I feel like most of time the 4.5 oc even on my Ivybridge is a waste of power and electricity
I've dropped from 4.5 say to 4.2 and noticed no difference in games or video encoding
I'm sure there's a few seconds here and there in encode times but is it noticeable ? Nope
Now more cores (hello AMD) might be beneficial
Is it 4.8, 5 gig and 5.2 at a guaranteed below X volts ?
As an example 4.5 on my 3770k - average chip - BUT does it at 1.33V which I'd count as a poor chip so really its about the volts required

Yea Asus are offering boards Z270 that can do one click 5Ghz on them. So im assuming most can hit 4.8 easily enough. Its when your trying to get to 5 you'll see chips not liking it so much unless you feed volts which will need that delid.
Have you by any chance been making a note of what batch numbers, the good overclocking 7700K's are from ?
If so, do you mind please posting up a list of the batch numbers and has there been a certain batch number or a pattern of them ,that has had a lot of good overclocking 7700K's ?
I'm sure they won't publish that info ! why would they
it is an interesting point though - if - like in old days chips are particularly good or bad depending on chips
it means shops and/or end customers could potentially do an initial rough filter on retail and OEM chips without even having to test them - as even with the retail chips the batch number is visible
worth thinking about

IIRC tests show that the Intel TIM is actually better than the vast majority of consumer TIM, when applied to the die. The real issue is the gap caused by the silicone glue.
8 Pack, do you reattach the IHS or just use the mobo to hold it in place?

Be interesting to see what 8 Pack says, but I noticed a minor gap between the IHS and PCB when I rested the IHS directly on the die (after completely removing the original adhesive and TIM).
So personally, I think this theory is false.
LOL I have chips can do this at 1.175v.

Intel is not desperate at all!!
Humbug please stop typing all this Zen stuff with no concrete testing having been done by your self to back it up.

So much negativity, at the end of the day its still an improvement in a 1 horse race, personally i'm looking forward to testing one on monday

Kabylake deserves the negativity (Although much of that is due to us living in the UK so the price is naff).
Although I'm not sure I'd call it desperation lol.

Maybe it's time to retire that horse instead of flogging it around the track year after year
