Well I see some retailers with a picture of some plastic "see through" looking box. Is that just a picture they threw up, or is it the actual box? Look here:

Thanks Mats. I'm trying to understand what's being said. :) You wouldn't know whether they could ship to the U.K do you?

Thanks.

EDIT: Which did you order, the OSA146BNBO or the OSA146BNBOXCABNE?

Well, I know I've missed the boat with the aweome CABNE's and CABYE's. I'm now waiting to try snap up some CAB2E's if that's what's coming in. I reckon it must be if Eva2000 said that in Australia they were just getting CAB2E's.

The U.K should be getting stock in the next couple of days.

in all fairness, i wouldnt get your hopes up on the cab2e, there a hit or miss stepping and not capable of 3ghz stable. (only seen 1 get near 3ghz)
even my cabge clocked further than the cab2e i had

It might have sounded like I'm getting my hopes up :) but I'm so used to not finding anything now. :) I'll just have to see!

the only reason i got lucky is coz i bought 2 x 144's, 1 x 146 & 1 x 148 hoping to get one good one that could do 3ghz then sell the rest.
the 144's wouldnt go over 2.7ghz even with volts upto 1.7V which i sold pritty quick lol but the other 2 do 3ghz so the 148 will most likely go for auction tomorrow ;)

my 144 cab2e 0540 fpmw seems to be pretty good, i can get it up over 2.9, not totaly stable yet but 2.825 runs sweet, 1.5v xp90c cooler, and seeing how the 144 starts at 1.8 a stable 1000mhz increase, aint bad. my 146 cabge wont go over 2.7, 2.6 is its most stable setting.

what are the best MAL/read preamble settings to use with this chip?

heat is starting to become an issue with this 146 i have but it's capable of 3.0 with only 1.5 volts. it's occt stable but prime large fft crashed on me last night after about 3 hours. temps are getting up there. maxtcase temp is 65C's.

any suggestions?

Use at least mal 8 and read preamble 6. :fact:

This is max stabile with my good old BH5.
With a venice i could use mal 7 and read preamble 5 :stick:

thanks. i should have said what ram i'm using.

i'm using 2x1 gig crucial ballistix. i remember reading to use a MAL of 9 but I wasn't 100% sure.

anyone else?

Simply said _PMW's and _PAW's can be compared only if the procs are built during the same day.
