I'm running at 2500 @ 1.5V right now, and this appears (crosses fingers) to be Prime stable! This is on air on a Winchester HSF (the Clawhammer HSF appears to be slightly different, I'm not sure if it's better at all).
I'm running quite hot, between 57-60 Celsius on load. Can't wait for my XP-120 to come in tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to up the voltage to around 1.6+ and get some much better results! :up:
I'm sure u can get more out of this chip, 2500 @ 1.5v is not that impressive, my crappy 3500+ 0451 winnie can do 2600 @1.52v
I believe I can as well. But my temps are rather high, so I'm going to wait for my XP-120 then push for higher voltages.Quote:

Edit: Also keep in mind that these CPUs run at 1.5V by default. So your comparison of your Winchester at 1.5V is not a fair one since you're past your default while I'm still at mine.
I'm using an XP-120 btw..
I guess my chip wasn't too crappy but I wanted 2.7 and it seemed to hit a brick wall at ~2.65, anyways I don't own it anymore so it's history, I should have my superclaw friday or monday, I better not regret returning my winnie. The thing is I also got PC4000 VX to replace my plat rev 2 and I heard VX doesn't work very well with winnies and could damage the mem controller..
Oh that blows. I got my CAA2C today, but I'm too wrapped up in WoW ATM to start OCing. I'll start my burnin period tonight, then the hardcore begins tomorrow.Quote:

I believe that these numbers are inflated though since most people like to think that lying about overclocking gives them a bigger p3n1s
Can't complain about this one. Not the best, judging by the volts I need compared to some of the other phase change results, but not bad.

It's a "Z": CAAZC 0502CPMW.
edit to add: and I whacked the volts off the top of my pic, lol. :rolleyes: 1.625V to get there.
edit again to add: f'in Verizon keeps resetting my webspace whenever I link pics in high traffic threads. Unadvertised b/w throttling, gotta love 'em. They'll be fired shortly, sorry for the dead link, just another 3GHz+ SPi 1M shot anyway. edited again to add: link fixed.....for now.
How can I see that poll?Quote:

Trust me, I know what you mean. 3000+ seems to be the best for the Winchesters though, the SPAW 3000+ seemed to kick the crap out of most other steppings. I don't know how AMD speed bins, but overclocking is never guaranteed so if you get anything above stock you gained something. Aside from that, it's all luck of the draw. The only reason I got the 3200+ Winchester over the 3000+ was the multiplier, I know most people feel the same way. So maybe you basically just pay more for the multiplier.Quote:

I got my X850XTPE from them, shipping was fast, I am in NC they are in NY. Pretty uneventful process, other than they have a crappy website.Quote:

Will do 2500 (10x250) stock volts, however can't even prime 1M above 2600 regardless of volts (tried up to 1.85). I'm on water, btw.
Hopefully I just got a poor clocker.
i actually don't mind to pay extra if i can have it right away. zzf doesn't allow you to do local pick up. i am just 20 min drive away from them :rolleyes:Quote:

That does suck, maybe it's ur mobo or ram or something. All the other caa2c 0506's have been pretty good, even the caazc's have been better than that. Thats really wierd too. Somethings gotta be holding you back other than the processor, unless it's just supposed to be a 4000+ and it sucked and thats why they relabled them as 3500's but I doubt it, more likely, just trying to sell off all 130nm chips imo.Quote:

Phew... that's better! :toast:Quote:

Just swapped my CAA2C 0505 APMW to DFI NF4 SLI-D now

55 is load with water? I'm getting 57-60 load on air.Quote:

Its a CAA2C 0506BPMW 00569
Max prime stable 2750Mhz 1.6v and Max super pi is 2850Mhz 1.65v
This chip is walking all over my BigWater setup. At 2750Mhz 1.75v I get 68-70c load with a water temp of ~40c.
Think I need to hook up my ProCore / MXC6000 / Eheim instead. Im not even gonna bother mounting my CPU Cooler on this crappy thing.
Okay.. 2800-2850 for benching isnt too bad.. however what really IS bad, is that it wont run RAM higher than 245-250 if CPU is at 2400Mhz or more.
Also.. it refuses to run Trtw and Twtr 1 any higher than 240.
Thats just my luck. When i finally get a chip that OCs OK, the mem controller is FUBAR.
I have a feeling that those who think they have a CAAZC are maybe just misreading them and they are CAA2C - could someone who thinks they have a Z please post a screenshot. In terms of a stepping iteration the Z would have to have been earlier than the 2.
Mine looks to max out around 2800, but the memory controller won't go higher than 260.
I wish I had some VX to test as 300x9 with memory at 250 2-2-2 wouldn't be too bad (until Venice, lol).
My Neo2 has stability issues above 300htt as well it seems.

And are you running Trtw/Twtr 1 or 2? If 1, then you should try 2.
different temp sensors (not that accurate anyway)Quote:
