AMD Overclocker

[bennywidag123]

Hi guys, i have just got myself a DFi Sli-DR and some OCZ Bh5. Now i need a suitable CPU, i have around £150 UK to spend on it, and preferably want it from UK. I have heard the new 3700's are brill, so what are the best steppings and does anyone know where can i get the steppings in uk. Or perhaps some of the new 144 or 146's are good?

Advice please

if you arent going for phase cooling then go opty 146's going for £140 on ebay cacje seem to clock well with water air

Cheers, i am probably going performance air, but i have a 120.3 setup that i may bung it under for benches. I will look into those 146's, what sort of clocks could i expect from them?

Also does anyone know what the steppings of optys/ 3700's are at scan, as there is a 146 for £126 there, and 144 for £113.

Thanks :)

you might take a look through the opty OC results thread. Check out some of the steppings there that have been doing well.

2.9ghz on 1.225v... :clap:

I agree on taking the Opty route. They are going to be close in price, but it appears as though the Opty's are ALL going to run 2.7 at a minimum on air, with most hitting 2.9-3ghz. Mine runs 2.9 with 1.45V, but will do 2.8 @ stock volts so thats where I left it. Not bad considering I sold my 3500+ that did 2650 for 160 bucks to a buddy then got an Opty 146 for 156 bucks from Monarch a few months back ;-). Good luck in your decision.

Excellent, i have Thebeast's Opty 148 on the way now, very happy with that purchase.

The IHS has been removed, i have heard some stories about some HSfs not fitting properly when this is taken off, i was planning on using a Arctic cooling 64 pro, but was considering a thermaltake big typhoon because i know that fits, as thebeast is running that. Any idea if the 64 pro fits as i wanted it for the price and silence.

Also i planned benching for a week or so on my storm g4, i presume that should work though i dont know?

Yeah, water should work fine on a naked chip. Dont forget to join the hwbot league!! ;)
