Anyone got one of these? I've been offered an 0504 for a nice price on a different forum and was wondering how these are clocking? I have yet to see a single thread on a year 05 winchester overclocking! Google is no help, etc, etc.
Cookie for anyone who can give me an idea :D . Basically, are they 50/51 copies or are they 42-49 beasts? :cool: .
(Note: First Post! :wave: )
Hello there and welcome to XS!
So far the initial experiences are NOT good. Most of 05 cpus are not that good overclockers I'm afraid. Perhaps that will change... Venice anyone? :D
I may just wait for the Venice and struggle with my 043x winchester untill then. Seems a shame to have G.Skill LE 437 and not be able to use it properly!Quote:

If you are given the possibility to select a specific CPU as for a 0448, they seem to offer 2.7GHz aircooled quite easily. Keep in mind that Venice is a bit further down the road and not just out of the door.Quote:

Seems like the winnies keep going downhill :(
Try to get a 49er they should do as well.Quote:

now about the topic .
I have had a week 50 and 51 and both could not break 2.6 ghz
50 topped out at a paltry 2.5 ghz while the 51 steamed on till about 2.6 .
cbbfd 0450 tpfw and cbbid 0451 epaw.
for 0448 the spaw stepping seems to be the best. 0448 Spaw is the golden winchester.
Does anyone have a 05xx that oc's alright?
my 0502 CBBID 3000+ seems pretty crap - wasn't stable at 2.4Ghz with 1.55v
Anything past week 50 isn't doing well at all. This is my 0503 and it's crap imo.
I guess soon enough you wouldnt be able to oc them at all, then venice comes out..

I think this is limited on CBBID, this is one crap cluster. Hopefully they get sold fast (given the rate some people here are buying them :stick: ). Then maybe some better ones come.
It is sad I have a chip from last fall that overclocks better than this EPEW I got in February this year. %$#@*&% newegg.
Checking all my old CPUs - not all were CBBIDQuote:

CBBHD 0447UPEW
..and this one CBBFD 0441UPMW
There was one more but I never snapped a pic of the CPU so I'm not sure what the codes were - none of them but the last one broke 2.6 GHz.
Nothing wrong with my CBBID 0451 MPM. It just did 3D and SuperPI stable @ 2.75GHz on air.
What voltage?
:rolleyes: I never get that lucky!Quote:

Even if your cpu does crap oc'ing can you still get good ram mhz's by just lowering the multi, and have low cpu voltage and stable?
Here is a screeny that shows the voltages. I am going to post my full results in the GA-K8NS Ultra-939 section.Quote:
What voltage?
Very nice
Oh well. Atleast there is always Venice. <doesnt like his winchester either>Quote:
