What stepping @ 3.2C?

[FreZhm@ker]

I'm about to buy a 3.2C for the rig in my sig, but what spepping is to prefere?

If it will run 4GHz on air, it would be nice..

:D

D1 (AEP) stepping is the best one. SL792 is code for 3.2C D1 (AEP) cpu.

Remember though silicon is silicon. My Sl792 only did 3.9ghz on water.

My SL6WG is a D1 AEP. I haven't had it on air, but with what it does on a stock machI, I'd bet 4 to 4.1 on air pretty easily.

FYI, the SL6WG and -WE are on the list that can be AEP, but may not be. I would think Intel is transitioning entirely to AEP, so more recent pack dates probably increase your odds. Mine was 2/27/04. IIRC the AEP's were to appear in the above box-codes either Dec last year or Jan this. Anytime after that you at least have a shot at one.

....or as The Stilt mentioned, just find a SL792 to be certain.

What is AEP?

Hi,

I also would like to know how far can 3.2c will do if I replace my 2.4c.

Thanks,

Mine does 3.7 stable at 1.625 volts with stock HSF. But like LikwidKool said silicon is silicon, nothings guarenteed!

What is the temperature @ 3.7 (1.625v)?
