Since It seems I am the first person anywhere to report this stepping so I am starting a thread on it. I am going to be starting testing today. (People seem to be confirming this at [H] also)
Here she is..

Ooo, that's a youngn'....break her in gently. ;)
She will be..
Im going to test her on my Abit KN8-SLI (Budget I know, She just got a new 146.) I just bought for my wifes system, since I dont want to break down my main machine just yet. Should give me some idea of what she is capable of...
Hey, let me ask you.. did your confirmation come wednesday night or morning? Or other? I have a feeling they had two different batches, one shipped out in the morning and one at night.. also when did you order.
I am too anxious to wait another 2 hours now :rolleyes:

Got my shipment notification.. Wednesday at 8:03 PM
Ha! same here.. exact time too
I really couldn't turn down the deal. Got the 146, 165. And thier Nero 7 Ultra Bundle, with the caps and Tshirt for $475 shipped 2 day.
VERY interesting, I havent seen a CCBBE before. 0610 is also interesting.
Setting up my testing rig now. First time ever I have gotten something brand spanking new in regards to steppings. :)
BB memory controller?
Typo... or a true BB and it doesn't have coldbug?
Or maybe AMD restarted at the beginning of the alphabet and it's still bugged?
Interesting.
where did you order this chip from?
He's got a pic of it right there, how would it be a typo ;)Quote:

I can provide high res scans to show it isnt photoshopped or anything. It is genuine.
Its not a typo and it is a "BB" Controller.
I did get it from Monarch this morning.
OS is loading on my test bench to see if I can get an idea of what this chip is capable of.
I mean like AMD Factory typo. BB doesn't make any sense to me.Quote:

lol, we'll never know. Anybody here work in Fab35?
I work at fab34 :hehe:
Looking forward to some benchies :)
Well, so far so good.
Pics to follow soon, Dual Priming at 2700Mhz (9x300) 3xHT Stock Volts, and its been going for 15 minutes now.
A good start IMO. Already seems to be a $277 FX-60+
Temps are good as reported by ABits software, I don't trust them, but with an XP-90 and a High Speed Panaflow its saying load temps are 36-38c with a 21c Ambient.
I don't know what the max HTT of this KN8-SLI is Ive heard around 320, So its going to have to go into my SLI-DR Expert as I think this chip will reach that limit easily
A very good start. I was planning on starting at 2.4 so I didn't disappoint myself if it failed right off the bat at 2.8 :fact:

Sorry for the small desktop, Its my test bench monitor. It only does 1024x768.
Core 0 failed @2800 stock volts in 15 seconds
Failed at 2750 stock volts in 12 Minutes.
I'm only using an XP-90, so better cooling might produce better results.
I have a TTBT to use and a sythe ninja. I think its about time for this chip to go over to my SLI-DR Expert.
good luck.. looks like i might pickup a 165 in the next few weeks
Just found out my Mushkin TCCD was only set at 2.6. Put it back up to 2.8 and trying again at 2800.
