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.

It's just a normal bug, I have my 2500 recognized as 2500K in CPU-z 1.57

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

update to the latest version of cpu-z.
verify it again.
if still says i5-2500 then check you device manger and system info, even go into the BIOS and verify.
the BIOS is the most certain.
if it doesn't say i5-2500(K) there get your receipt and take it back and get what you paid for..

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

you did.
I believe you have the i5-2500 and not the i5-2500(K).

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

that might be a possibility because anything is possible in computing....
also something I didn't think of, good question.

It's either the motherboard or u have a i5-2500 (non K ) cause my non K has a max OC of 4.1ghz as well, needs voltage bump to stay stable above 3.8 though

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

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

Reply to bowzef

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

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

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?

Reply to GhislainG

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#.

if you have to send it off then I can see your point.
but if you got it locally then I'd have to be down there.
I dunno man, I'd have to get what I really wanted and not settle.
plus, that unlocked multi on the K-series.... vs the non-K that only can clock 400MHz on a good board.
no thanks.

Still, identify the chip so you sell it as the right item,

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

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...

Reply to bowzef

I do not know the specifics of boards in particular I am going to look that up for me as well. I do know that it will be LGA 1155 the same as SB is now.
I think it will be on the newer LGA 1155 boards for sure and only a select few of older boards, but I have to research more.
check out the SB, SB-E and Ivy thread..

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?

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
