I5 2500k CPU Z says i5 2500

My i7-2600k has the K in cpuz... Do you have the newest download of it?

Also look in the Windows system properties. Should show there as well.

If you want to know which cpu version you have.
Go and enter bios.

or go to www.Intel.com

My Cpu does not say i5 2500k in the bios but i am able overclock to but only ratio 41 will not go any furthur and Cpu Z says 3.8 Ghz i feel like i have been scammed

What motherboard does the build have? This could be occurring because its using a H61/H67 motherboard?

Haha thanks, I was kind of taking a "shot in the dark" myself. But it seemed a plausible possibility.

yup i rang them up they said i need Invoice number so i got my mother LF paper work coz its under her name but she seems think she gave it to me but it has to be some were other wise im going have fork out money and buy a new CPU and not get my 2nd GTX 580 due to this issue

How about taking the hs off and checking the print on the actual chip, that way you at least know what it is

they said to just bring it in anyways and they replace it but im 2nd guessing doing that might be lot easier buying the CPU due fact they probably make me wait some what 6 weeks something stupid like that

I'd take it in then, but be aware of what they intend to replace it with, if its the K like you paid for, fine, if its a straight swap for another 2500 plain, take it to a higher level of complaint
but don't hand over your chip at any point unless you have a replacement in the other hand
Moto

well i go to school doing I.T networking and i need my PC and if they going stuff me around may just be easier buying it and replace it my self but il be going in tommo and see what the deal is its ther fault that this happened not mine its not my responsibly to check if they put correct hardware in

I'd make sure they know you need it then, express implicitly the importance of your rig to you and your work,
and also express your great sense of anguish at feeling like you have misplaced your faith,trust and money in what you had previously thought to be a fine reputable company
lay it on and make them feel like they have fkd a great friend over, if they're half a decent company, they'll throw in some 'goodwill gesture' hehe  
fingers crossed for you mate,

You make it sound like you bought it from a shady place that definitely didn't make an honest mistake. Why did you buy it from them?

Wow, I understand that there are some bad places out there but in something like this the first rule is remove the HSF (heatsink/fan) and check what is on the processor as far as the Sspec#. With the Sspec# you can go to http://ark.intel.com/ and look the processor up by the Sspec#.

Better to remain calm and polite I find, as most of the more mature members will attest, its an easier ride for all concerned,

Just out of curiosity where did you buy it from?

edge of the seat stuff here

it sounds like they are trying to do right by you, give them thier chance to correct thier oversite. No need to sully their rep at this point.

i changed my mind i'm not going be dealing with these guys its just not worth having no PC il just buy another one and install it my self and sell the old one

too much of hassle now days just get stuff done right

i'm better off not failing my education coz of theses toss pots wanna screw me around for few weeks

Still, identify the chip so you sell it as the right item,
I hope you get a decent price on it,
Although it wouldn't be my course of action I wish you all the best man

ok so i went further up and told them my issue through email dude said. if they don't fix it on spot get them call him so i'm going go in tommo or Friday and do just that

he said exactly this

They should be able to unless there is an unforeseen problem. Tell them to give me a call if there is any problem.

Cool, fingers crossed for you mate, let us know how it goes yes?
Moto

yeh i will so its comfirmed if my UIFI does not say i5 2500K then its not K correct? all UEFI tell right model of CPU?



this is example i found on internet

Yup, looks like Bob there has a 2600k to my eyes  
as I said though, check the codes on the chip before you put it in the box and take it back, just to doublecheck/reassure me  
and yourself ofc hehe
Moto

i can't it will avoid warranty so i have bring PC in coz they builded it so no way of knowing for sure anyways i flashed my Bios to latest version and still did not show so.. confirms it even more Runing V 2.0 and he got 1.3

Aah, ok you have to take the whle unit in, fair call then man
Moto

tho i have already opened it and move my h70 CPU to correct position but theres no way knowing i took it off dint even re past i know bad me but if i clean it up they will notice

i runed prime 95 and dint get past 50c so it was fine

h70 has a circle past not messy so.. if i did clean it no way i can get looking as pro as they had it

OK guys i took it back today and got the i5 2500k!!!!!!!! WOOOT WOOTT i just OC to 4.4ghz with 1.4Volt to core and 1.020 on idle idk thats all set to auto tho BUT HELL YEHHH IM happyyy

Nice one, and to think you were going to soak it up and buy another :-)
Glad it all ended well mate,
Moto

yeah man its all good now i can go get my 2nd GTX 580 ;D

i plan to use Dual PSU people say its stupid but il be wasteing money buying 250 Dolla PSU if i have brand new one siting in my PC and good quilty one too

Corsair HX650W i plan on getting another Corsair or Antec or OCZ depends who got best price and best amount of AMPs on 12v plus it needs a 8Pin my case is big enough to support 2

so is it true Ivry bridge is only going work on Z68? if so some people going find way crack it on P67 both use same architecture and same socket so all i can think of is Bios so ... flashing it to a hacked version could be possible due to fact Z68 have same socket and is works with SB so...

Glad to hear it's sorted   Out of curiosity - What did the shop say when you took it back? Did they give any explanation as to WHY you didn't get what you paid for to begin with?

said nothing just fixed on the spot lol what can they say? oh im sorry? not good enough not like give me a discount of something

hmm it says it work on P67 bords as well as H67s but i don't think PCIE 3.0 will work i think on Gen 3 bords get PCIE 3.0 and from what i can gather next cards that come out next year support 3.0 PCIE but even now the cards don't use full potential of X8 X8 2.0 let alone x16 x16

What he means is the whole 'graphics cards dont saturate pcie2.0 debate' I figure
and yes Op, its a case of waiting till pcie3.0 devices come out, personally, no rush for ir  
Moto

haha glad you got it worked out this thread took a bit to read  

whered you get it from?


Did you get the h70 or just a CM hyper 212

Not sure if this clears anything up, but so far the GEN3 boards are all Z68 with the exception of ASRocks Extreme4 Gen3 P67.

got H70 through Local place same people that build the computer Austin computers

Id be tempted to splash a little more and just go with an XSPC Rasa kit   The overall performance should be better, the overall appearance will be much nicer, self satisfaction guaranteed following a successful water-cooling installation  

but i never done a Water cooling kit before i want to do one not for CPU but for GPU dedicated one with a pump ect but im lil scared >.> maybe not about the setup but me haveing to remove my $500 Graphics card Cooler off it and putting a aftermarket one on it SCARYYY!!!! you think pc shop will do it for a price?

coz haveing tubes make you feels 1337 and epic and makes ur E peen look biggerrr!!!

coz then il get a pre waterblocked GTX 580 fine cheapest one i can find!!!

I think it's time for you to head on over to the water-cooling section of the forum  

Hopefully I'll have chance to join the club myself following some planned upgrades next year
