I fucked up by buying an Engineering Sample processor

Never buy this piece of shit, won't overclock. Paid 170€ for the motherboard just to overclock. Custom bios won't load. Avoid the engineering samples like a plauge

I have a confidential i7 that overclocks fine and it's actually binned better than average

What are you even on about

lmao kys cuck.

QH8F, Z170M Extreme 4. Here. Guess you just got lucky.

Where do you get the bios. I tried from a russian forum but the bios won't load from Instant Flash (not found)

Oy vey! Don't buy xeons from ebay.

who the fuck even pays premium for overclocking nowadays?
it literally does nothing tangible perfomance wise unless you're in a system thats 7 years old

Never buy used computer hardware in general. No telling what the previous owner did with it. Could be a binned CPU, a GPU on its last legs after nonstop mining, hard drive with dying parts, faulty RAM, etc.

The ES 6700k comes with a stock clock of 2600Mhz turbo.

Why?

serves you right for buying jewtel

Works fine for me with a standard bios?

Tfw you have used ssds gpus cpus Mobos PSUs and ram

>Never buy used computer hardware in general

>trying random firmware from russian forums
you know how stupid that is, right? Come on user I know it's the weekend bu

Right when trying to overclock, the cpu locks at 600Mhz

No shit

You want to go for qualification samples, not engineering samples!

Obv a bclk overclock won't work it's a locked cpu

What will work? Should I try the modded bios?

I have a $2k xeon engineering sample I paid $300 for
stay buttmad
