Original Thread

If you would like to be listed here, post and please include in your post where possible, Batch Number, and at least a CPU-Z validation URL in your Overclock.net UserName. (When u do a CPU-Z validation, just put your Overclock.net name in the "Name" field instead of your "Computer Name" in between clicking "validate" and "submit".)

If you still have the box your processor came in, it has the batch number on it, otherwise it's on the processor.

The CPU-Z validation in your Overclock.net user-name is now a pre-requisite to getting listed. This is Overclock.net after all.

Anyone who hasn't so far, please submit one as soon as you can.

Download CPU-Z here, just don't get sucked in by the misleading driver download ad up top. CPU-Z, 64 and 32 bit, is lower down and on the right.

Responses:
When you make a submission you will get at least one of the following respones.

C_Reject.jpg

C_Updated.jpg

If you don't want to be Rejected, get your submission right.

Batch Codes

The lot code identifier and Intel year and workweek the finished product was manufactured can be viewed by referencing the following FPO# guide:

(x)Test Site, (x)Year, (xx)Workweek, (xx)Lot Code Identifier (xx)Serialisation Code

1st letter or digit = Test Site
0 = San Jose, Costa Rica
1 = Cavite, Philippines
3 = .............., Costa Rica
6 = Chandler, Arizona
7 = .........., Philippines
8 = Leixlip, Ireland
9 = Penang, Malaysia
L = ............, Malaysia
Q = ..........., Malaysia
R = Manila, Philippines
Y = Leixlip, Ireland

2nd digit = Year of production
8 = 2008
9 = 2009
0 = 2010

3rd & 4th digits = Workweek

5th - 6th digits= Lot Code Identifier

7th - 8th digits = Serialisation Code

Prime and Linx determine stable overclocks, not suicide runs.
I will put them up as proof that, even if only briefly, the chip has achieved the overclock claimed, but may not be stable. It is good if people want to show Prime95, OOCT, IBT, etc pics in their posts to show stability, but a bit hard to show that in the list?

When u do a CPU-Z validation, plz put your Overclock.net name in the "Name" field instead of your "Computer Name".

cpuz has validation built in. if a score or something is off, believe me someone will spot it. I dont think stability should be needed for your thread as other clubs do not require it unless it states a certain speed, such as 4ghz club, even then not everyone believes in one stability program(some people think superpi shows stability
lol), cpu-z validation should be required, and say if you want anyone to believe your score please put up screenshot with stability tests run.

Updated.

Eggy: Yep. I dare ya'.

Hawkeye: Same batch number as bsodpanicattack and m'self. Mine came from PCCaseGear. Looks like a good batch.

=DMG-42=: Keep squeezin'!

blackbalt89: A bit early to tell. With the 920 some batches overclocked much better than others. The batch number is written on the chip, and on the label of the box it comes in. I'm chuffed to see my batch getting good OC numbers. I haven't gone for the max yet. Just as far as is comfortable for my cooling.

well i'm not going to be looking to go over 4.0ghz. could it be said that any batch could do so with stability? or is that where the problem lies, getting it to 4.0?

4.00GHz is IMHO not that hard. After that voltages and temperatures escalate. Some have difficulty sooner, but it's hard for me to say if that is the overclocker or his processor....

I suspect these 950 chips OC better than the 930 on average.

Check out the 4.00GHz Club in my sig and that should give you a good idea what is possible. I think voltages over 1.4 usually need water cooling or better, and that from 1.35 to 1.4 is pushing air cooling limits when ambient is over 21C. What do others think? Speak up if u disagree guys. I'm no expert.

yeah i understand what you're saying. i was just wondering what exactly the difference was between the batches and i was afraid that i wouldnt be able to overclock to 4.0ghz down the road if i get a "bad" batch.
