Those of you with OcUK OEM 2700K Official OC Results thread!!

just out of curiosity, why would the first batch of CPU's be better clockers? tighter tolerances etc?
its the first time i've heard of this so just interested to find out the reasons.

I think because they are cherry picked by Intel in order to get rave reviews upon release. Not many sites re-review processors 3 months down the line, but may people read the old reviews and expect great clocks from every chip.

Marketing. :p

If these clock well then generally most future 2700K should also.

Or possibly this.
 
Just recieved my 2700k OEM. Have any of these been tested by OCuk? I'm asking as I noticed a greasy residue on the top of the cpu - could just make out the outline to what looks like thermal grease. I'd hate to think I've been sent a chip that's been returned to the OEM stock due to it not overclocking as well as the rest... The staff aren't allowed to work their way through the stock to find the best ones for themselves are they? :confused:

I noticed a greasy finger print mark on both my 2600k retail AND the 2700k retail I bought from another supplier. Don't think its them that will have done it but some mucky gits at intel lol

I've also noticed stuff on my retails before, don't think you've got anything to be worried about tbh

Any benefits going from 2500k to 2700k?

I have a great overclocking 2500k (specially now I trust to use 1.4v). So bit of a gamble to sell my 2500k for a 2700k.

Cheers

Basically hyperthreading which is the same choice you made when you picked a 2500K over a 2600K.
 
Hmm so far things arent looking too good for me :(

Bought a 2700k OEM and a Corsair H80 to replace my pre-overclocked OcUK 2500k bundle @ 4.6Ghz. Started off just changing the multiplier to 50 and the vcor to 1.425v with the intention of dropping this if everything was ok.

I managed 5-10 mins of Prime 95 before the system will BSOD and Coretemp by that stage is already registering in the region of 79-82degC....

Any bright ideas?
 
I thought Gibbo say all OEM chip can get 5GHz with ease ? Sent it back under DSR if I were you mate. Sorry to hear your disappointed axer! Have you try 1.45V to see if it was ok ?

Some chips will clock better than others. Not all chips are created equal, just look of the draw.

Indeed, was a bold statement to make considering he'd only tried two at the time from what I gather!

I'm a bit dubious about putting more voltage in to it due to the temps being so high. I'm a little confused as to why they are so high considering I went all out, bought the IC Diamond paste, H80 cooler running (at full speed) and have a HAF-X chassis with the additional top fan (comes with just the 1 by default) so should have plenty of air flow....
